Homicides went up in 2020 and 2021 and are now rapidly coming back down. Violent crime nationwide hasn’t increased. But the perception of a crime wave still colors U.S. politics.

What’s crazy is that its both sides of the isle doing this. The far right does it to stoke fear and over-promote guns as the only means of protection, and the far left does it to villainize guns as the root of all violence. It’s exhausting.
Which current politicians are “far left”? But more importantly, what Democrat politicians are fear mongering about rampant crime?
I don’t follow any right-wing media, but yeah, on the left…
“There’s a mass shooting every day!!!”

LOL, and you might notice the numbers from Mother Jones. Those right-wing fascists! 😆
Being a lefty shooter, I got opinions, and I see a lot from both sides. Vehicular and gun deaths are on par, year after year. And I can avoid suicide (43% I think?) and I can stay away from bad people and places. I don’t have those options on the road.
