    Is what those Republicans would like you to think

    The reality:
    New data shows violent crime dropping sharply in major U.S. cities

    What's even more ridiculous about Trump's lies and fear mongering is the fact that homicides increased by 30% from 2019 to 2020, the largest single-year increase since 1960.

    Yeah, that was when Trump was in charge.

    Atlanta mayor calls Trump out after his recent rally in Atlanta where he did the usual fear mongering that Atlanta is a “killing field”

    There is something extremely dangerous about a psycho like Trump running for President. His hate fueled lies are destructive. The lies he will go to for his own personal advantage are disturbing. This is a man who will deceive Americans and call all other news fake news. It's sickening that he has so many people feeding into his greedy evil hands, soaking up all this misinformation like sponges. You see some of those types on this forum. They won't even accept the truth about Trump when you tell them he's lying.

    So he's only off by like 100% and in the wrong direction. That's not too bad, by Trump's standards! (And in his business-world bankruptcy-prone work as well.)

    @tinman enjoys posting anecdotal evidence of crime, what do you think of this.

    One aspect of "law and order" style fascist propaganda is that you can in perpetuity spam your news publication, social media feed etc with individual violent crime incidents like this forever regardless of whether it's a systemic problem or not to put fear in people.

    No matter how secure the border is one, could spam these type of anecdotes because 300+ million humans exist in this country.

    Thankfully you see right through my fascist propaganda. :rolleyes: No offense taken.

    How many low bonds/pr bonds for violent crimes are required to become non-anecdotal?

    Enough to show statistical evidence that there is a rise in violent crime due to said policies.


    This BBS isn't a police blotter for fascists.

    Again, answer this question given the population of 300+ million humans in the USA.... Will there ever be a period of time no matter how well society is run that a fascist can't spam anecdotes of violent crime to spread a narrative regardless of how safe the country is overall?

    It's very simple. If one can spam anecdotes of violent crime regardless of how safe the country is, then it should be considered an irrelevant way to express conditions in a country.

    Also I want to add when anecdotes are useful.


    If there is statistical evidence of a trend, an anecdote of that trend can be used to express an emotional plea to solve ending said trend.

    That is when anecdotes are useful... A tool to provide emotional weight to a statisical trend you feel is bad and needs to be reversed.
