"SNIP.....
New York Times: In the final phase of the midterm campaign, Republicans are intensifying their focus on crime and public safety, hoping to shift the debate onto political terrain that many of the partys strategists and candidates view as favorable. The strategy seeks to capitalize on some voters fears about safety after a pandemic-fueled crime surge that in some cities has yet to fully recede.
But it has swiftly drawn criticism as a return to sometimes deceptive or racially divisive messaging.

What about the crime wave that saw unions destroyed and millions of Americans poorer by the GOP since Reagan? They call it a transfer of wealth and for the base voters "Freedom".

What else? And where else outside of inner cities where crime doesn't affect the MAGA out in the boonies?
Drugs? Ok, pick up the money men who are in charge of the street sellers and begin to lock up the suburban folks sitting at home waiting for their next delivery. It's pretty clear that inner city so-called gangs do not have the money to pay out to the drug cartels. Who is paying? Maybe some corporate 3-piece suiters with connections to the politicians at state and local and national levels. I am sure they are fairly easy to find IF law enforcement just started looking at them instead of the blacks driving with a tail light out.

Dems really need to frame it that way. tRump's the biggest criminal this country has had the past 6 years, and more guilty of treason than Benedict Arnold. His whole administration was a criminal enterprise for the whole 4 years the GQP US Taliban "Let's force little girls to have their father's baby if he impregnates her during an incest" Party and putin helped him steal the 2016 presidency from Hillary Clinton.
SO thrilled to hear Jamie Raskin (Love him so much) Liz Cheney saying that there will be more hearings ...
