You forgetâŚI spent 30 years in state government. Public safety is a core responsibility of state and local government. Most crime - whether violent or property - is not the responsibility of the federal government. So how do we blame Joe Biden, or his administration, for the crime rate (whether lower than last year or 2021, or slightly higher than 2019.. or shall we compare to 2010, or 2000, or 1990?)?
Let me guess⌠Itâs the brown people flooding across the border, right?
When I say Americans are ignorant⌠itâs because they blame the President for Aunt Tilly getting mugged. When I say theyâre misled, itâs because media focus on crime, regardless of whether rates are going up or down, because blood and gore drives eyes on the news. When I say the misleading is deliberate, itâs because media outlets like Fox News deliberately try to blame the federal administration for these things.
My eyes are quite open, thank you. And when I look at your posts, I see an American who has openly stated that heâs indifferent whether Biden or Trump wins the 2024 election. Yeah, I know youâd like to see different candidates; but that appears to be a pipe dream. Youâve stated that you wonât vote for either of the two likely candidates, and that you see the two of them as equivalently authoritarian.
Do you really think that sending a division of the US Army into American cities, to âfight crime,â is a good idea?
