Takeaways:
+ The rate of murders in the US has gone up at an alarming rate. But, despite a media narrative to the contrary, this is a problem that afflicts Republican-run cities and states as much or more than the Democratic bastions.
+In 2020, per capita murder rates were 40% higher in states won by Donald Trump than those won by Joe Biden.
+ 8 of the 10 states with the highest murder rates in 2020 voted for the Republican presidential nominee in every election this century.
- joemazerino 4y agoI always enjoy a good leftist source posted to discredit experiences felt by my friends in real-life. "Here are some facts from this website Joe so stop complaining." Meanwhile in reality outside of the internet my friends have been mugged, harassed and assaulted for walking SF streets that were once the safest. The problem with these types of sources is they are collected by journalists who do not back check their own work. They are trying to make a political point. Crime statistics are based on reporting which is higher in Red states. Murder areas like Chicago have thousands of incidences of crime that go unreported.
