Watching morning Joe and Edward Luce is saying crime will be the republicans issue.

The answer to this angle of attack is that republicans are responsible for the rise in crime through their actions. Lawlessness is the new hallmark of Republican policy. It’s not just what republicans say through their links with Qanon, the proud boys, oath keepers and other MAGA(ts).

It’s the dangerous actions, threats and posturing against the fabric of democracy. They will wail about crime, yet think think the riot/insurrection attempt is just fine. The attempted murder of congressional members and Pence seems perfectly reasonable to these law and order republicans. We need to hang around their neck the bell that rings out their hypocrisy.

Across the country the republicans are acting in anti-American anti-democratic, criminally based fashions. From election fraud to physical assaults. From terrorism to demonizing the marginalized. From attacking the education system for being factual to demanding that women return to the status they held in 1840’s society.

Democrats must go on offense against the Republican hate for American ideals.

1. We don't know when the Republicans say crime they are really talking about people of color

They are perfectly fine with rich white people committing crimes, lots of them

[Deminpenn]

3. Exactly this

"Crime" is just a Republican code word for scary non-white people.

Rs have been running on this issue since Nixon developed his "southern stragety" in the 1960s.

6. Spot on. It's a way of life for them.

The increased IRS tax scrutiny freaks them out. Paying for our collective way of life is for little people.

2. Murder rate down in 2022

The huge spike as in 2020, peaked in 2021, starting to moderate in 2022.

And this was after a decade of record low crime rates. We're still seeing less crime than we did in the 80s and 90s. by a lot.
