Jon Stewart Debunks GOP’s City Crime Narrative | The Daily Show

Trump called the RNC host city of Milwaukee a horrible place and is now trying to pass the insult off as a concern about crime. Jon Stewart digs into the Right's fearmongering obsession: crime in big cities. Republicans want you to believe that "lawless" Democrats are to blame, but when it comes to Democrat-run city crime, it turns out the guns are coming from red states. #DailyShow #Crime #FoxNews #NYC

When people who could afford homes and cars without going into massive debt. The tax rate on the rich was above 70%. Generational wealth was taxed.

That said, they tend to say that crime is dropping in their own neighborhoods.

AND they're active, they organize and they study and prepare to take action. (i've recently read a few short interviews w/ the graduates from Sandy Hook. they are 'coming for the guns', it's a lost cause for the NRA and the gun lobby and the politicians and the gun enthusiasts and everything that right now seems impossible to overcome. what we're seeing now is the last stage of 2A, things will change drastically for the next generation)

Yep. My 72yr mother is politically moderate, leaning left. She's lives in a city of over 1 million. She's never owned a gun. Never a victim of a crime that would warrant needing a gun. My father is a staunch Republican who feeds on a steady diet of Fox News daily. He lives in a small, low-crime community, but of course, he feels unsafe and owns a gun because of Fox News fear-mongering.

One other point about this issue. When crime surged in cities in 2020-2022, it also surged in rural areas. It was a nationwide surge. No one has all of the answers, but it appears the disruption brought on by covid impacted the rates.

[@Ruth-tu9mu]

I live in a Democrat-run city in a Republican-run state that recently super relaxed its gun laws. Both parties fielded mayor candidates last year on platforms supporting gun control and promising to work with the state to let us have gun free zones in populated areas downtown (meaning our police are empowered to arrest folks for carrying guns in those areas) and require background checks for gun purchases in the city. The GOP controlled state legislature won’t let us work on reducing gun violence in our city, and then they complain about the gun violence in our city. It’s just insane pandering to rural and suburban voters - saying “don’t vote for democrats, look what they’re doing to the city” when it’s really the GOP state government doing it.

[@Humphking]

Sounds like Georgia lol

[@SirPhilMcCrackinVonBeggington]

"Gun free zones" are a fallacy that don't actually reduce gun crime. Are you really this naive? California is one huge gun free zone with highly restrictive gun laws, and tons of gun crime. Stop blaming politicians, and stop actually holding the black guys accountable who are comitting all the gun violence. Typical female, completely allergic to taking personal responsibility.

Fact: Crime is down year-over-year. Also Fact: Crime last year was at an all-time high so it's only down relative to the worst crime in modern history. It's still way up when compared to 2019 (aka pre-BLM riots of 2020.) The reason it still doesn't "feel" safe is because it still isn't safe.
