Trump Is Leaning in on Crime. Democrats Need a Better Response — and Fast
The problem is that while some voters might not like overtly political power grabs, history shows they dislike feeling unsafe even more. Expanding homeless encampments and drug overdoses in plain view have left many of them fearful.
Polling suggests he’s on to something. A recent survey by the left-leaning group Data for Progress found that majorities of voters agreed that Trump’s power play was “authoritarian” and an attempt to distract from bad headlines. But the same group found that more than half of those polled agreed with this statement: “Trump is doing what’s necessary to crack down on crime.”
The Democrat approach to crime reducation was to stop charging criminals and letting them go even when police made the mistake of catching them. Then they shouted "See! The crime rate is down!"
