Trump keeps claiming that the most dangerous cities in America are all run by Democrats. They aren’t. [This is true. Of the 20 most violent major cities, only 19 have a Democrat mayor. The other one has an independent mayor.]
Washington Post ^ | June 25, 2020 | Philip Bump

Posted on 10/01/2022 1:45:29 PM PDT by grundle

“You hear about certain places like Chicago and you hear about what’s going on in Detroit and other — other cities, all Democrat run,” he said. “Every one of them is Democrat run. Twenty out of 20. The 20 worst, the 20 most dangerous are Democrat run.”

Among the 20 cities with the most violent crime per capita, one isn’t a Democrat: the independent mayor of Springfield, Mo.

An Independent is the same as a Democrat.

This is a 2 year old article, but it’s a great example of how the WP would categorize the Trump ‘lies’ list that they curated. This would be added to their gazillion lies list, another LIE by Trump! Only 19 of 20, not 20 of 20, Trump never stops lying!

Doesn’t even matter.

What matters is the heritage, the history.

The other invariable truthto these lists is that they’ve BEEN commie Dem for decades. They need to look at mayors and councils, and they’ll find that’s all true.

How did Springfield, Mo get on this list. This is a serious query as cities go to some lengths to cover up the reality of their condition and what fed it, Dayton Ohio and Huntingdon, WV for instance have had all their productive economic based destroyed. That has a big effect on creating a bigger and bigger permanent underclass which is drug addicted and embrace lots of anti social behaviors regardless of race.

Actually not usually true.

Because Republicans are the more “independent” thinkers, more likely to walk away from the party. Dems will stick lock-step to their brethren.

Oh, ideology matters far more than party labels. So I think we agree on that fact anyhow.

“An Independent is the same as a Democrat.”

Currently... But this can be fixed. And I think it is a very viable way to fix all this crap.

It started Conservative, and needs to be taken over and returned to common sense Conservative.

And it could be done in two years before then next Presidential election.

What you’ll see the LEFT/DNCMedia do is trade cities for states.

I keep hearing them say, “Yabut, Red States have the most crime!”

Some of this might be true—when you consider the big cities in those Red States, and how those CITIES are run by democrats!

Examples:

Mississippi: Jackson, Vicksburg, Tupelo

Kentucky: Louisville

South Carolina: Greenville, Columbia, Spartansburg

Tennessee: Memphis, Nashville, Knoxville

Georgia - Atlanta, Macon, Albany, Savannah

Alabama: Birmingham, Montgomery, Mobile

Louisiana: New Orleans, Baton Rouge

Texas: Houston, Dallas, Austin, San Antonio, El Paso

Indiana: Indianapolis, Gary

Missouri: Kansas City, St. Louis, Ferguson

North Carolina: Durham, Raliegh, Charlotte

This is the equivalent of saying: “My sister is not a slut who screwsd everyone on the football team, the place-kicker is gay and said no!”
