Trump went down to a border town in Texas and tried to tell the people there how dangerous their town was… even though the those people knew differently. El Paso, by the way, is one of the safest cities in the country.
The more Republican a State is, the higher the rate of domestic violence, the higher the poverty rate, the lower the average income and the lower the average level of education.
Like so many other things the repugs do, the fear mongering about how terrible the conditions along the border are a smokescreen for the REAL message. The facts are obscured or taken out of context to mask the dog whistle that “They’re coming for YOU! For your jobs, your kids, your women!” The facts about crime or how many immigrants are “pouring” across the border are simply irrelevant to the attempt to instill fear and anger(the two biggest tools in the republican toolkit) in their base and hopefully independents. They are trying to convince them that a few thousand desperate people looking for something better are a threat to the American Way of Life as they see it.
The reason the City’s crime rate is sky is because most cities have Democrats running them and everywhere Democrats are in charge the cities are in trouble with high crime rates, impoverished, corrupt politicians running them tents on the sidewalks, the police are disrespected and paid poorly, most cities are either bankrupt or getting close and the reason for that is Democrats don’t know how to run things, they lack common sense just look at the doofus in the White House Biden. Democrats couldn’t even run a kiddie sidewalk lemonade stand much less a city, state or country and it shows just look at cities like Chicago, New York City, Sacramento, Los Angeles, Detroit etc they are all run by Democrats. You don’t see this in Republican cities because Republicans know how to Govern and the sad thing is people that live in these cities who suffer from these high crime rates still vote for Democrats. That’s got to be the mystery of the century.
Somehow magically the fear of crime goes up (despite the actual amount of crime going down) the closer it gets to a mid-term election when a Democrat is president. Weird, that…
If you live in a Democratic run City which Is where all the high crime is, Get out of there and go live in a Republican run city where they don’t have high crime rates because Republicans know how to run things, Democrats couldn’t run a kiddie lemonade stand.
No what you should do is stop electing Democrats to run your cities, states and towns and you’ll see your crime rates drop like a rock. Democrats couldn’t run a kiddie sidewalk lemonade stand although Biden would love to sniff the little girls hair being the pervert he is. You ought to read Ashley’s Diary, Ashley, Joe Biden’s daughter talks about when she was a little girl how her Daddy Joe would force her to take showers and sleep with him. I still can’t believe you Democrats voted for this pervert. I guess the Democrats are also perverts.
Maybe you should get a Republican Mayor. Democrats are worthless at governing or stopping crime which is why in Democratic run cities the crime and murder rates or so high but in Republican run cities there are low crime and murder rates.

A border sounds great! Donnie says he can build it for a measly $10 trillion. Says he’ll make Mexico (i.e. U.S. Taxpayers) pay for it.

It’s funny ‘cause it’s true. Actually, it’s not funny. Goper hypocrisy and lies are just sad and pathetic.
