It’s become somewhat of a meme now when there is a story on crime, or other bad things happening in a city, people pipe up and say “That’s how it is in blue cities!” “This could only happen in a Democrat city!” However, I noticed they never say “… and that’s why only want to live in X” or “… that would never happen in Y”.

If living in “blue cities” are such a nightmare, where are all these Utopian “red cities” that people are apparently in favor of?

    You know what there is also more of in cities than the country? Bagel shops, total cans of green beans, utility poles, swimming pools, litter boxes, wooden spoons, belt buckles, ratchets, football fields, sandwich bags, buses, shoe boxes, cranes, sponges, proctologists, laundry hampers, scuba tanks, veterans, record players, hispanics, tire shops, baseballs, asians, restaurants, ceiling fans, and yes…people.

    People live in cities and this alt reich talking point is a disingenuous talking point. When looking at crime PER CAPITA red states, CITIES AND RURAL areas have the highest crime rates. This is what they are trying to cover up. Red states do worse on almost every metric. Red states are shitholes. Full stop.
