It really is that simple.

Another libtard being intentionally stupid.

Obviously I’m saying that letting libs run - really anything - destroys it. Portland was lit on fire by liberals and other liberals cheered it on. Look at any highly liberal city and it is a shithole. Portland, Chicago, San Francisco, Detroit, New York, the list goes on.

Look at liberal vs conservative counties in the United States and you’ll find the liberal counties have much higher crime rates, higher drug use, higher poverty.

Go back to the libtard stream and don’t you ever complain about freedom of speech you f***ing hypocrite. You going to defend Jan 6th protesters? You couldn’t even post such a meme in politicsTOO because it would be censored.

You are dishonest. You are a hypocrite. Go away.

Let's compare a really red state and a really blue state. But like 2 that are really close in population so it's a 1 for 1 comparision. not something lopsided like California vs North Dakota.

How about that?

Tennessee Population: 6.975 million
Massachusetts Population: 6.985 million

That's like 10K people apart? That's really close.

What's the average income?

Tennessee median income: 65416
Massachusetts median income: 95264

Huh. I guess it pays to live in a Blue State. But big deal. So what if everyone is poorer in Tennessee, right?

What's the gun ownership rate?

Tennessee gun ownership: 0.516
Massachusetts gun ownership: 0.147

Well, that's not a surprise though, is it? Red states probably do own a lot more guns than blue states.

What's the violent crime rate though? Surely that must be much higher in the blue states, right? Like, because all the weak liberals who don't own guns, the thugs must be running things, right?
Violent Crime per 100k (2020)

Tennessee violent crime rate: 672.7
Massachusetts violent crime rate: 308.8

More than double the violent crime rate. On states that are only separated by a small population of people. The violent crime rate is more than double in Tennessee than in Massachusetts.

I wonder what the homicide rate is? This has got to be the blue state, i mean, it's got Boston!

Homicide rate per 100k:

Tennessee homicide rate: 11.5
Massachusetts homicide rate: 2.7

Firearm Deaths Per 100,000
Tennessee: 21.3
Massachusetts: 3.7

wow. That's huge. 7 times higher in Tennessee.

What about buglary and Breaking & Entering? Surely that must be higher in the blue state, right? Defunded cops. Fewer guns owned by citizens.

Tennessee: 22517
Massachusetts: 9582

Wow. Not only are you more likely to get shot in Tennessee, you're poorer and someone is more likely to break into your house.

Facts don't care about your feelings.

Red states are poorer and have higher crime rates. But you own more guns, so... you got that going for you.

Typical liberal cherry picking. You read a non-scientific hit piece and regurgitated it. You can not compare states because there are too many variables. The author cherry picked the states to support a pre- determined conclusion. Why not compare Ohio and Illinois. Same size, right next to each other. Of course that would prove your claim to be stupid and wrong.

Ohio and Illinois?

Okay!

I bet you're thinking, "oh, he's screwed now. Chicago is a pit of violence! it's a charnel house!"

This isn't going to turn out like you think it will.

Population:

Illinois:12671469
Ohio:11780017

Median Wage:

Illinois: 76596
Ohio: 63492

Gun Ownership:

Illinois: 0.278
Ohio: 0.4

Violent Crime:

Illinois: 425.9
Ohio: 308.8

Not nearly as big as a difference as you thought it would be, is it? That's a 0.2 difference. You thought this was gonna be a slam dunk, right? You thought Chicago would just explode this number into the out atmosphere while those calm, innocent conservatives in Ohio kept to themselves. Turns out, no. Pretty violent.

I wonder what the homicide rate is gonna look like? Let's find out!

Homicide rate:

Illinois: 11.2
Ohio: 9.1

And this? Far far closer than you thought it was going to be, wasn't it? That's a 0.3 difference. Not the double we saw between Tennessee and Massachusetts. I bet you thought Chicago was just gonna put some big points on the board. Turns out Ohio likes some murder too.

Firearm deaths;

Illinois: 14.1
Ohio: 15.2

Isn't it "good guys with guns stop bad guys with guns?" Shouldn't these numbers be really far apart?

Burglary/Breaking & Entering

Illinois: 11465
Ohio: 27867

Ohio with the big numbers! Look at that. Just over double. That's probably another number you were expecting but towards Illinois, right? Like all the numbers would be this big against Illinois.

Ohio. Twice the amount of guns. Less money. More burglaries. More firearm deaths. And only a little less violent than Illinois.

Wanna do another set? What about Minnesota and South Carolina? Their populations are close.

It’s exactly what I thought because I looked it up. Illinois has a much higher crime rate and is very liberal.

Like I said, comparing state to state doesn’t mean squat to any serious statistician. Too many variables. Chicago has high crime. So does Columbus.

Keep posting because your numbers are useless.

that's because you're detacted from reality. You only want information that confirms what you believe. Feeling right is far far more important to conservatives than actually being right.

Golden rule: if a liberal accuses you of something it is because he/she is doing that thing and redirecting blame.

Hey, look at that. Tennessee reports violent crime by individual not by incident. That would skew the stats. That was difficult to find.

Hey look, Tennessee has a huge drug problem. Also hard to find. I’m sure the huge surge in fentanyl Biden’s Chinese buddies are importing through Mexico will help.

Funny how you say that destroying businesses, assaulting reporters, assaulting police, destroying people’s property are few speech, but you applaud the imprisonment of people who were crossing the street or standing around during Jan 6th.

You also want trump imprisoned for questioning the election but these violent people are to be praised as champions of free speech. Perhaps I should have used the picture of libs burning Portland?

Let's be clear: Trump is free to stand on any/every street corner and question the results of the election for the rest of his life.

I fully support him pursuing every legal means of questioning the results.

Just like Kari Lake. She's not being arrested for claiming the election was stolen from her. Literally, no one cares.

But that's not why he's facing 91 felony charges.

That's because he did a lot of illegal things. Like a lot. His business is being dissolved because of how much easily provable fraud he committed for years and years. Some of the things he involved trying to overthrow the elected government.

And that I don't support.

Bullshit he is being prosecuted for doing exactly that. He’s broken no laws, they know that if he gets re-elected he’s going to put them all out of business. You are so full of crap. No facts no reason, just hate. You hold up people who committed violent acts in protest against an election then support sending him to jail ONLY to rig the election. Again.

Yes... Latitia couldn't get him in a criminal trial... so she's wasting taxpayer money on her vendetta on a civil trial... one in which a corrupt democrat judge uses ridiculous numbers to undervalue Trump's properties so he can issue a summary judgment and skip Trump's legal rights of being heard by a jury... GOT IT... as far as trying to overthrow the elected government... you have no proof of that... LOL

That's what you support... OMG
