Trump Is Leaning in on Crime. Democrats Need a Better Response — and Fast

 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.”

  1. 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!"

    1. Republicans say all they don't like such as immigrants, blacks and Democrats are inherently criminal and mentally ill or low IQ and favor crime and hate police.

    2. But they don't deny crime exists.

    3. Mamdani wants to defund the police.
      He's a democrat and backed by meschumer meshugar

    4. Mamdani got married recently at an exclusive, uber-rich compound in Kenya surrounding by a large security force.
      So security for him but not the citizens of New York. A classic communist.

    5. In these cases, you won't be able to squeeze DT into condemning Mamdani, .buy he also won't openly support him.
      Will just say something like "nope"

    6. Well now you've done it. I'm betting that right now he's scouring the web for the usual "Mamdani isn't an anti-Semite just because he's calling for the destruction of Israel" and "Mamdani couldn't be a Jew hater because so many Jews support him!" links.

    7. Wow you both are foaming and fantasizing a lot, Reality is not that important for you. Maybe you should do like Trump and get yourself drawn on trading cards with and without super powers

    8. I say Adar shlishi because a bit of humour is good every now and then.
      But did you ever condemn him rather than do an anti trump post?

      Delete
    9. We're the ones foaming? Hah! You're just mad because you couldn't find any of the links I'd predict you'd be searching for and now you're stuck because "Nope!" just won't do it this time.

    10. Schumer, pelosi etc didn't attend the netanyahu speech. But Mamdani wants him arrested. Just look at the difference. Would Dems want to arrest the Iranian president?
