Look. I get it. You are boxed in. You cant explain your theory. That is because its as thin as your head of hair.
Blue States are Safe. Everyone agrees with that. All the data shows that.
Red States are not Safe. Everyone can see that. All the data shows that.
What you cant explain is: why? You want to blame blue cities in red states, but then you cant explain why blue cities in blue states make a state safe.
The reason is that blue states are run by democrats and are safe and red states are run by magas and are not safe.
There is no other explanation as to why blue states are safer than red states.
