So, do you think this exonerates Republicans? Do you think that it's all Democrat's fault because they're in cities which are mostly Democrat? Republican policies at state level don't have an impact at city level?
What are you trying to do exactly?
Are you suggesting that the blue shitholes that account for the majority of the crime in a state don't statistically or significantly influence the state's crime numbers?
Are you suggesting that a relatively low crime rate in areas that are not blue shitholes is insignificant when compared to the blue shitholes?
Edit:
I am not trying to exonerate anyone.
I am simply stating that I am not surprised blue shitholes have a problem with crime that influences the state's crime statistics.
You are free to make your own assumptions as to why, and that probably goes a lot further towards identifying why blue shitholes remain blue shitholes.
I think you need to look at it from a different perspective.
Your point is that because at a mayoral level they're blue areas and they have a lot of crime, means Democrats somehow encourage crime with their policies.
Problem is they're not just blue areas. If the city is blue and the state is red, then you have competing politics.
Which is stronger, the city or the state?
The state, clearly.
Now, why is it that some of the worst cities are in REPUBLICAN states? Are you saying this has nothing to do with Republicans? That's absured.
You could play the blame game all day, and you'd never really come up with an definitive answer. What policies are causing cities with high crime?
Is it right wing gun policies, is it education policies which don't meet the needs of the people in those cities?
Take Detroit. The reason Detroit has such high crime is because of things like the lack of jobs. Well, that's because the auto-industry in the US is dying. Is that based around city politics? State politics? National politics? Probably the latter.
The problem in the US is a national one. It's about two political parties who control everything and play politics more than they actually run the country.
You can look to other countries and see that crime is higher in bigger cities. London is an example. It's not about left or right there because London has only had a mayor for a short amount of time, and the first was left, the second was right and not much has changed anyway.
The problem is a US problem that people are trying to hide from by saying it's this problem or that problem.
However some states have higher crime than other states. Why? State politics does play a part, and so too does city politics. New York, a liberal city, is a city that cleaned up its crime problem. But not without criticism of human rights abused.
