▪️This meme uses the canard of “red state cities” and “blue state cities” when that’s largely irrelevant as almost all major cities are run by democrats and thus are “blue,” regardless of the makeup of the broader state.
▪️Looking at the top 20 cities by homicide rate (not “gun homicide rate,” another canard as who cares how people are murdered):
🔹St. Louis
🔹Baltimore
🔹Detroit
🔹New Orleans
🔹Baton Rouge
🔹Kansas City
🔹Cleveland
🔹Memphis
🔹Newark
🔹Cincinnati
🔹Mobile, AL
🔹Philadelphia
🔹Milwaukee
🔹Chicago
🔹Pittsburgh
🔹Indianapolis
🔹Stockton, CA
🔹Tulsa
🔹Washington, D.C.
🔹Atlanta
▪️Would anyone consider St. Louis a “red” area because Missouri is a red state? No. Ditto with Kansas City, which along with St. Louis are basically the only 2 blue areas in Missouri. Same with New Orleans, Cleveland, Cincinnati, Memphis and Atlanta. All islands of blue within red states.
▪️Of the top 20 cities, only Mobile, Tulsa and Indianapolis could be considered remotely red (Indianapolis is mostly controlled by Dems but redder than most big cities).
It’s just so wild to see these movements see saw, it feels like just yesterday that conservatives were boycotting Disney and the left was gloating.
Just incredible. After posting a meme blaming Charlie Kirk for his own murder, they post another a few hours later applauding Democrats for their civility.
Also, if you look at the Occupy Democrats timeline, their posts “denouncing political violence” were variations on “no one should be shot…BUT here’s a quote from Kirk showing he’s a terrible person.” Or sometimes they’d leave the first part out altogether and just attack him. There are no posts denouncing violence without qualifiers trying to gin up their base.
