Crime Is Nonpartisan
In The5thHorseman's continuing series " Field Dressing Shibboleths", we have covered such diverse topics as fiscal policy, the Crisis on the Border, inflation, and various fashypathologies. We will now examine another seminal, and equally risible, Article of Reactionary Faith - specifically Party control & Crime.
“Republican-run cities are doing very nicely because they arrest people when you have crimes,” Donald Trump told Tucker Carlson last week.
“The cities and these left-wing states allowing criminals to run wild on our streets, that doesn’t work,” Ron DeSantis, Florida’s governor, said in March, citing New York in particular.
But party rule does not drive crime. Consider DeSantis’s state, Florida. Its homicide rate was roughly 50 percent higher than New York’s in 2021. Florida’s two most populous cities, Jacksonville and Miami, each had a homicide rate more than double New York City’s last year, even though both had Republican mayors
please note, this ISN'T about Crime, or cities, or gardening...it is about the corrosive effects of Big Lies.

Cities and states run by Republicans do not actually have less crime.
