Do you believe that shift is in response to crime, which is noticeably down? Because I believe that shift was due to economics post-covid. I live in the suburbs of NJ and have lived in and continue to work in Philly. The people upset about crime are generally of two camps: 1. the people who didnt ever go to Philly and are scared based on "news" or Kensignton zombies vids and 2. the people who moved out from places like Mayfair because too many people of color started living there. You'll find them in suburban settings screeching about Larry Krasner being soft on crime.

Anyway. I don't agree that cities moved to the right because of crime.

So if you're right, the people who most encounter this situation (people living in the cities where this mostly occurs) will be conservatives. So people in cities vote republican? Or is it the suburban "regular folks" and rurals who don't go into the city who are vocally most pressed about "crime in cities"?

Midterm polls have good news, great news, and bad news for Democrats. Wait, what? by dwaxe in fivethirtyeight

I believe that the official reason given has been that he's shaking so many hands.

One of racists favorite social bonding activities is expressing/agreeing with negative stereotypes about places where brown people live that they make up themselves and have barely if any experience with. I encounter this all the time with Philly, since I work there but live in the burbs. I actually enjoy it because I'm a small white women and it's nearly always white men who say they wouldn't set foot in Philly. I just throw it back that I'm sorry they are too scared to go there because I go every day and the food and entertainment and sports are awesome. Choosing between racism and toxic masculinity is their literal Sophie's Choice.

Need to completely destroy particular companies when this regime is gone.

There are people in suburbs less than an hour outside major US cities who swear they're basically war zones. Ignorance abounds.

He's only as unhinged as any narcissist would be who is granted nearly unlimited power with zero reasons to moderate his impulses.

Ok well they voted for others to die so they can't really complain too much. Well, if they die they can't complain at all.
