Cherry-picked examples are cherry-picked.

Violent crime is up everywhere - in cities that "defunded the police" and in cities that didn't, in suburbs, and in rural areas.

Specifically:

"For example, homicide rates in rural America spiked 25 percent according to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. That’s not far behind the 30 percent increase urban areas saw. In other words, whatever slight bump affected places like Chicago, San Francisco and New York City is happening in the small towns of South Carolina, Montana and Arkansas too."

Could all this have a different cause - like, say, guns and ammo flying off the shelves at an enormous rate from 2020 to today?

Consider it!

No. It ain't guns that caused the alleged rise in crime in rural America. I say alleged because the Center For Disease Control got a lot wrong on Covid. In fact, gun sales in cities that defunded their police departments increased in 2020 because of the riots and gun sales across the country increased after the riots ended because Biden "won" the 2020 Election and the Democrats have made it abundantly clear in every election that they are gonna push through as many gun control bills as they can. Stop with the Leftist bullshit.

Draw your own conclusion

Democrats care more about criminals than they do about law abidin' citizens.
