Reply to comment by WickhamAkimbo in NYC murders, shootings and subway crime dropped in February, continuing the downward trend: NYPD by Darrkman
It's exactly because I'm looking through a non-political lens that I can say that. Crime in the entire country provably jumped a huge amount during the pandemic and has yet to recover to pre-pandemic levels. But the same bullshit arguments used against progressives to blame them for crime in NYC are not used or even brought up against Republicans in far redder states where crime remains higher than in NY or in their cities.
So please, go on and tell me how political I'm being when this shit only ever matters to your ilk when you can point a finger at someone that leans to the left.

Regarding the red-vs.-blue divide, I think it's always relevant to note the cities in red and even very red states are often blue; for instance, while Georgia, Louisiana, Kentucky, and Tennessee all voted by a large margin for Trump in 2016, Atlanta, New Orleans, Louisville, Memphis, and Nashville each voted overwhelmingly for Hillary. That's why trying to split the country in some way is an impossibility, as there'd be dozens of blue islands surrounded by hundreds of square miles of red territory, and that certainly goes for New York State.
