Cadet Bone Spurs Is Not Cleaning Up the Red State Hellholes

As Donald Trump threatens to deploy national guard units to Chicago and Baltimore, ostensibly to quell violence, a pattern has emerged as he describes which cities he talks about.

Chicago, Philadelphia, Washington DC and Baltimore.

But not Jackson, Birmingham, St Louis or Memphis.

An analysis of crime trends over the last four years shows two things. First, violent crime rates in America’s big cities have been falling over the last two years, and at an even greater rate over the last six months. The decrease in violence in America is unprecedented.

Second, crime in large cities in the aggregate is lower in states with Democratic leadership. But the president focuses his ire almost exclusively on large blue cities in blue states, sidestepping political conflict with red Republican governors.

Those red state governors could use their own national guard to clean up their own shitholes.

But they won't.

That should suggest something to you, such as none of this is about crimefighting, It's about a small-dicked demented autocrat attempting to be dominant. A man who, when it was his turn to serve, ran away and hid behind his father's money and influence. But now, safely ensconced in the White House, he's ordering violence on his fellow citizens.

And if you support that, with all due love and respect, go fuck yourself.
