> democrat policies nationwide led to increased crime and crime has been dropping across the board for decades. the only blip was a very tiny bump post covid but that doesn't erased 70+ years of decline.  it would be like if one went from 1000 to 100... then up to 102 and everyone freaked out over +2 and ignored the -898. that not even getting into the issues of huge chunk of red states having higher rates of violent crime (per capita) then blue states. the whole crime is out of control was/is an outright lie.
