>We’re aware democrats don’t do much for Asian hate crimes but trumpie republicans would definitely do more harm than good for the Asian communities.

I am a liberal and call me ignorant, but historically speaking, it was Republicans who successfully lowered crime in the city after the surges, even if through questionable means? Or am I missing something?

Crime went down across the country starting in the 90s, so it’s not the case that it was solely due to R policies. Also the lowest crime rates ever in NYC were during DeBlasio. Was it his doing? Probably not (or at least not in large part).
