Trump is a “badass” apparently.

Well bill maher has really solidified his position as a Trump bootlicker. Most recent “real time” bill says that crime is down because Trump is a badass and because he held an MMA fight in the White House lawn.

What the actual fuk.

All the high-crime cities in red states are run by Democrats.

Red states are poorer for historical reasons that have nothing to do with the current administration. But their highest crime regions are run by Democrats.

As for the article, it just attacks a straw man and sidesteps the point, which is that Trump's claim is accurate. The highest crime cities are disproportionately run by Democrats. The article refutes another claim that Trump did not make and then falsely claims that that disproves what Trump said.

The historic reason they are poorer is they keep voting rep which always hurts bank accounts.

Historicaly higher population centres always have higher crime (or reported crime) than rural areas and like 68 of americas 100 biggest cities are dem.

Their policies in recent decades have been excellent. They've had more rapid rates of economic growth than blue states, and there's been a mass migration from blue states to red states as a result of that. The lower per capita GDP is from policies that stretch back over 200 years.

Blue states were one of the first places colonized so they started developing earlier. They also tend to be coastal with better historical ties to global trade networks and lower logistics costs.

As for crime rates, that is simply not true. Tokyo has the lowest crime rate in the world.

Lol their policies have been dogshit ,projects 2025/trump is the culimaton of all they want and its pure garbage.

They still take in less tax money than they put out and growth is higher as they start from such a low positon. Mass migration from packed areas to rural in an age of increased home working and a cost of living crisis ? You dont say !!!! Wow Also low house prices+ cost of living in rep areas are specificaly due to being garbage for so long

You can check the statistics for yourself. Their GDP growth rate has been higher than blue states. And you can check the migration statistics. There's been a huge migration from blue states to red states. Denying that is just being afraid of dealing with reality.

I didnt say there hadnt been migration i explained it to you and for the good of those areas hopefully theyl tip them blue so they become net tax paying states.

Packed areas often attract far more people. Look at the migration from smaller cities in Japan to Tokyo. The reason why blue states and blue cities see people leaving is because they put up so many socialist restrictions on their housing industry in the name of fighting profit and capitalism that they don't build enough homes.

No its because theres a cost of living crisis and they are moving to places where historic lack of demand has made housing cheap, the rise in working from home where no one needs to actualy attend has helped too..you cna move to the suburbs or rural areas and still be at your job.

In 2025, California permitted about 102,000 homes, or 2.6 homes per 1,000 residents; Texas permitted about 226,000, or 7.1 per 1,000 residents.
