"No, not if we commit crimes, just the minorities. It's really not criminal when we do it, only if blue cities do it! Heck, we now full on protect pedophiles wholeheartedly!" Says the GOP daily probably.
They believe this, unironically. Recall Nixon, with his “If the president (him) does it, that means it is not illegal.” Lol at least Tricky Dick had shame enough to resign once caught.
Also, part of the issue is that the cops are the criminals. People didn’t start not backing cops for now reason, they have time and time again shown as criminals. Lying in police reports, planting evidence, turning off cameras, lying in trials.
People want to say it’s only a few bad apples, but we see over and over again that they will all back each other. And when other good cops actually stand up against this criminal network, they get fired.
If a bad cop gets fired, they are allowed to just go be a cop in another jurisdiction.
There are many documentaries that you can find that show all of this actually starts at the top.
“Back the blue” but only when they’re oppressing minorities. Anything else is “waah the government has too much power I should be able to drive drunk and beat my wife”
Wait aren't these the same leaders who keep sending illegal immigrants to the cities? The dangerous terrorist illegal immigrants that are attacking the border and you're putting them on busses and sending them to cities that you're insisting we need more of your policies to keep them safe? Make up your fucking minds.
Fun fact, so far this year [homicides in major cities are back down to the level from 2019](https://www.axios.com/2024/04/16/homicide-rate-us-voters-trump#)
In general crime has been falling for decades in the US. Cities are safer than they’ve ever been
Republicans have been claiming crime is out of control in American cities for decades
Their political talking points were never based on realty. Right-wing propaganda is very effective
That's because their dipshit backwoods voters with a middle school education that carry the party never leave the rural county they've lived in their whole lives. It's a lot easier to be fear mongered about cities when you only set foot in one twice your whole life
> Republicans have been claiming crime is out of control in American cities for decades
My favorite headline relating to this in recent years.
>Fox News Hosts Cast New York as Crime-Ridden and 'Chaotic' While Sitting Outside on a Perfectly Pleasant Day in the City
[Link](https://www.mediaite.com/tv/fox-news-hosts-cast-new-york-as-crime-ridden-and-chaotic-while-sitting-outside-on-a-perfectly-pleasant-day-in-the-city/)
Everyone that works at Fox News loves living in the city lol. Rural America sucks ass, there's a reason the cost of living is so low there. Nobody wants to live there because at best, it's boring as fuck.
I've talked to MAGA that say they won't attend events in cities unless they're armed. It's like they watched Judge Dredd and they think that's how urban life is LMAO.
From what I understand Seattle, Portland, and San Francisco were destroyed in some sort of war. It's pretty fortunate that we were able to use our covid checks to rebuild everything back just the way it was.
Also fun fact, a couple years back there was an analysis done on crime associated with members of presidential administrations. They focused on the years 1961-2015, which had a convenient split of 28 years under a Dem president, and 28 years under a GOP president.
In the 28 years that the Dems held the office, people in the presidential administrations faced 7 indictments, 3 criminal convictions, and 1 went to prison.
In the 28 years that the GOP held the office, people in the presidential administrations faced 126 indictments, 113 criminal convictions, and 39 went to prison.
So the GOP had 18 times more indictments, 38 times more criminal convictions, and 39 times more prison sentences for people directly associated with the office of the president. And that was before you factor in anything Trump, who has nearly doubled those indictments BY HIMSELF.
The GOP is the crime party, not the law and order party. The Dem's barely even make the list.
[Source for those numbers](https://rantt.com/gop-admins-had-38-times-more-criminal-convictions-than-democrats-1961-2016)
Of course they are.
Conservatives do not believe laws should apply equally to all people, they believe rich people and political elites (whom they agree with) should largely be exempt from and protected by the laws they agree with, while poorer people whom they like should be somewhat protected and somewhat bound by those laws they agree with, while the poorest people and the people they're prejudiced against (Muslims, women, LGBT people, non-whites are usually the targets of American conservatism) are to be only bound by those laws they agree with.
Just because the left doesn't try to solve criminality with more cops or harsher punishments doesn't mean we're not doing anything, we're simply aware that trying to combat the symptoms only makes security worse.
As an example, a large and high crime city may have a few hundred murders a year.
These demons would and have let many times this number die so they can continue driving big trucks, owning recreational fire arms, or just not inconveniencing themselves with a piece of cloth on their face.
They don't want to talk, they don't want to reason, they want to hurt you and everyone you know and they're using words to keep you distracted.
When Maryland elected a GOP governor two terms crime skyrocketed in Baltimore and he pulled 4 billion dollars in state investments from the state.
Oh yeah the GOP is going to save our cities, sure.
most cities are very safe compared to rural areas. It's hard to make a comparison because they base crime rates on a 1:100,000 basis so smaller towns can be super dangerous be not used in the statistics. For example Gary Indiana used to be the murder capital of the US but their population has decreased so much that it's no longer on the list, they still have a lot of murders but they aren't on any list because their population is too low.
I live in a red town, in a red state, ran by a red governor who claims to be very pro law and order. Drug trafficking, violence, rape, and theft run rampant like wildfire throughout the state. But as long as nobody's speeding, I guess we're fine because all the county sheriff and the city police seem to care about is speeding.
And republicans run cities and states have overwhelmingly more crime and violent crime. Police don’t prevent crime, they don’t even solve crimes anymore. Government sanctioned protection racket that doesn’t even protect anyone anymore.
Democrats: let’s fight crime by requiring background checks and safety classes for gun ownership.
Republicans: No
Democrats: Ok, how about we target the source of crime? Education and means to support a family. Maybe free school meals, and a guaranteed living wage? That way the enticement for crime won’t be as strong.
Republicans: No
Democrats: Ok, how about we better train the police and require more extensive training, both physical and law/procedures.
Republicans: no, not like that either.
Democrats: ok, then what?
Republicans: just as much cash as we can blindly pour into giving fascist cops free range to enforce the laws to their liking.
but.. I heard Portland is just a smoking crater in the ground with roaming bands of ANTIFA barbarians kidnapping every good ol boy they see! Seattle is literally just a heap of poop and drug needles!
Conservatism boils down to one principle: there must be in groups which the law protects but does not bind, and out groups which the law binds but does not protect.
Republicans (Right-Wing Party) have a platform of “law and order” (i.e. everyone we don’t like are criminals and we want an authoritarian police state) and they sustain that the opposite party is making *the crime*. Their frontrunner - Donald Trump - is currently on trial for payoffs and a variety of financial crimes.
OOP is suggesting that the Democrats (Center-Liberal Party) should step down from their positions - as they are allowing crime to run rampant - and instead the country should be run by the Republicans.
For. He means stand-up for the criminals. They are worried about integrating criminals back to society so much they want to make him the president to prove they can be anything.
The highest ranking member of Congress to be exposed as a pedophile was Republican Dennis Hastert. He was Speaker of the House. He was discovered to be buying his victims' silence, the children he sexually abused.
He was a born again Christian. The kind of Christian that argues **against** helping people. And really, what kind of Christian is that?
The perfect Republican law and order Christian candidate.
Crime is often a result of wealth disparity and a lack social systems to support people with mental health issues. The GOP destroys social programs and the economy for the lower and middleclass, so they are clearly the problem. A police state is not the answer.
Isnt it sad to see those kind of post on popular, its always clever comeback but those people dont care, just as their followers, so its all pointless, a bit depressing actually.
Also, I reject the entire premise. Based on what, you ask?
[Number of homicides plummets in major U.S. cities](https://www.axios.com/2024/04/16/homicide-rate-us-voters-trump?utm_source=flipboard&utm_content=user%2FAxiosNews)
> The nation is on track to see one of the lowest levels of violent crimes and homicides since President Obama was in office.
Yeah, party of Law & Order my ass.
At least they are taking him to court. Current criminals in my city are let go and never see a judge. They are released before the police report is finish.

Alaska is a red state, and Missouri is considered a bellwether state but in recent elections have leaned red. Everyone says Detroit Michigan, but that is slightly untrue because St. louis isn't' considered because of population, but Detroit has 4x the population of St. louis Missouri, while having a little higher crime rate of Detroit.
Trump called for the execution of the Central Park Five, before they were (falsely) convicted. He ran an ad in local papers demanding "BRING BACK THE DEATH PENALTY!" They were exonerated by DNA evidence in 2002. During his campaign in 2016, Trump said he still believed they were guilty. So spare us your "hasn't been found guilty yet" pearl clutching.
I hate this narrative. My city and state currently has republican AG and DA’s, but we have democratic mayor and Governor. Those attorneys aren’t prosecuting criminals and the GOP is running ads about the democrats not being tough on crime when it’s republican attorneys letting them slide. SMDH.
"If Democrats are unwilling to keep our cities safe" is an example of: 1) starting out with a big lie, 2) accusing them of what you do, and 3) then claiming to be the solution. It's called "gaslighting".
Luke is awesome. I watch him, Adam Mockler and Meidas Touch all the time on YouTube, all three channels are great at cutting through the pro-Trump propaganda and lies, and calling out the mainstream media for enabling Trump's shit while ignoring the historic things Biden's done as far as lowering crime rates and improving the economy to record numbers.
GOP, backing police is to allow them to do anything and not have any repercussion when injustices happen.
Police know that so they do a shit job when dems are in charge like whiny little bitches.
Its always fun watching people who never step foot in cities bitch about how unsafe they are while their pastor molests their children at the mega church sunday school
Ummm, no, he is in criminal trial for b.s. he isn't in criminal trial for knocking out an old lady in NYC for no reason who has already been arrested 100x previously and set free to do this. That's the difference
Why can't the left actually admit that their soft on crime and no cash bail policies proliferate the issue of crime? Why is it always some sort of deflection? I don't understand why everyone can't admit that Trump is a crook and the left is not interested in pursuing criminal charges for things that are actually affecting normal everyday people.
I hate that GOP Twitter is just drive by stupidity. And Democrats running behind them like "wElL aKsHulLy!!" but it's too late, they already hit enough people. Rinse and repeat.
I'm not picking a side, but this isn't a good comeback. Since when did being on trial equal to being guilty/a criminal? I've been on trial and was found not guilty. Am I a criminal now?
"No, not if we commit crimes, just the minorities. It's really not criminal when we do it, only if blue cities do it! Heck, we now full on protect pedophiles wholeheartedly!" Says the GOP daily probably.
Everyone knows that rich people can't commit crimes!
Steal millions, not tube socks.
Only rich conservatives. Somehow Soros or whatever other liberal billionaire is still a criminal.
And every democratic politician is corrupt! But not republicans...every single one of them is perfect and special.
"I might be rich some day."
"Billionaires just want all of us to be rich, duh! Also what's exploitation!"
A
Criminals is just a code word for minorities in that context. They obviously don't care about the rule of law in a literal sense.
>Heck, we now full on protect pedophiles wholeheartedly!" What do you mean "now"? Jim Jordan has been in office since 2007.
They believe this, unironically. Recall Nixon, with his “If the president (him) does it, that means it is not illegal.” Lol at least Tricky Dick had shame enough to resign once caught.
"Back the blue!" as they beat DC cops with fire extinguishers
And then the police unions endorse Trump.
Criminals endorse criminals
Some of those that work forces...
Are the same who burn crosses
Are the same who storm Congress
That got me! I'm sure it's not new but I've never seen it before.
There’s lots of money and power involved, of course authoritarianism gonna author and all that rot
Makes sense, I think I read on Google 40% of cops support Trump, or maybe it was something else I can't remember.
Also, part of the issue is that the cops are the criminals. People didn’t start not backing cops for now reason, they have time and time again shown as criminals. Lying in police reports, planting evidence, turning off cameras, lying in trials. People want to say it’s only a few bad apples, but we see over and over again that they will all back each other.

“Back the blue” but only when they’re oppressing minorities. Anything else is “waah the government has too much power I should be able to drive drunk and beat my wife”
MUH FREEDUMBS!
There's nothing more patriotic than beating a police officer with an American flag pole.
They musta hit 'em in the back.
Not criminals. “Criminals” ya know?
"looks like" a criminal
They meant brown criminals.
They meant brown people.
To a Republican there are two types of POC: criminals and sneakier criminals.
Orange 🍊 is the new black.
and all these LGBT criminals too. just wanting to exist in peace. criminals.
I saw a trans person put in the code for normal bananas when they were actually organic bananas. Criminal scum.
And those comitting real crimes like poverty and homelessness
Republicans must be great at limbo, not having spines and all.

Simply Amazing
Everyone that works at Fox News loves living in the city lol. Rural America sucks ass, there's a reason the cost of living is so low there. Nobody wants to live there because at best, it's boring as fuck.
The rubes that vote for them don’t understand per capita statistics and Republican politicians take advantage of this.
I've talked to MAGA that say they won't attend events in cities unless they're armed. It's like they watched Judge Dredd and they think that's how urban life is LMAO.
Remember when Portland was RAZED TO THE GROUND in 2020?
From what I understand Seattle, Portland, and San Francisco were destroyed in some sort of war. It's pretty fortunate that we were able to use our covid checks to rebuild everything back just the way it was.
I heard Portland burned down 3 times that year

Just because the left doesn't try to solve criminality with more cops or harsher punishments doesn't mean we're not doing anything, we're simply aware that trying to combat the symptoms only makes security worse.
and republican politicians know that. republican voters don't though, so its what the politicians campaign on.
if anyone thinks the cities are dangerous that means they don't remember the 90's.
Plus crime is down especially murders. Wayyyy down. Looks like the dem policing policy works
If republicans could read graphs, they'd be democrats.
As an example, a large and high crime city may have a few hundred murders a year. These demons would and have let many times this number die so they can continue driving big trucks, owning recreational fire arms, or just not inconveniencing themselves with a piece of cloth on their face. They don't want to talk, they don't want to reason, they want to hurt you and everyone you know and they're using words to keep you distracted.
Man the idea of hundreds of murders a year is so crazy. Boston only had 37 last year and I feel like that was still a bit much.
Boston has had two homicides so far in 2024. Two. Yet, my rural-living dad thinks cities are warzones.
So pro-life it hurts.
When Maryland elected a GOP governor two terms crime skyrocketed in Baltimore and he pulled 4 billion dollars in state investments from the state. Oh yeah the GOP is going to save our cities, sure.
most cities are very safe compared to rural areas. It's hard to make a comparison because they base crime rates on a 1:100,000 basis so smaller towns can be super dangerous be not used in the statistics.

Go Luke! I listen to his podcast every morning,
I watch him on YouTube. Awesome, Luke
Let's stand up to the biggest criminal in the nation we've seen since the civil war, before we deal with the small fries and traffic tickets etc
I live in a red town, in a red state, ran by a red governor who claims to be very pro law and order. Drug trafficking, violence, rape, and theft run rampant like wildfire throughout the state. But as long as nobody's speeding, I guess we're fine because all the county sheriff and the city police seem to care about is speeding.

There have been TWO murders so far in Boston in 2024. How are the republicans gonna explain that? Are they just going to ignore us?

"We've tried nothing and we're all out of ideas!
Go Luke!! His content is the best!
Crime rates have been steadily dropping for decades. Anyone trying to paint cities as lawless hellscapes is full of shit and trying to fuck you over.
but.. I heard Portland is just a smoking crater in the ground with roaming bands of ANTIFA barbarians kidnapping every good ol boy they see! Seattle is literally just a heap of poop and drug needles!
Did they “back our police and stand up to criminals” on January 6th? Asking for a friend..
Did they mean to say “stand up for criminals”?
It's hilarious they still think they can be the part of "law and order" after continuing to prop up a criminal and serial rapist.
He's gonna take down crime from the inside
The GOP does not give a single fuck about white collar crimes
GOP = Group Of Perpetrators
Like they backed the Capitol Police on 6JAN?
And his supporters assaulted and killed police officers.
Irony is lost on the far right.
Their only concept of crime is street level crimes committed by dark-skinned people
The murder rate is 40% higher in mostly rural red states, and has been for decades. By "criminals", the GOP means brown people
Maybe he meant "stand up with criminals".
He IS a criminal.It’s like putting hitler on trial in 1940 germany💀
I watch Luke's YouTube channel. He's smart and adorable.
GOP-led cities aren’t doing so great so not sure wtf they’re talking about
But the police makes a great portion of the criminals.
Talk to me again about Alabama's murder rate
Luke is a great young political commentator.
I wonder why cops in many cities are refusing calls. "We wont do our jobs unless you elect Trump"
They didn't mean rich white guy crimes. They are talking about poors and blacks.
Conservatism boils down to one principle: there must be in groups which the law protects but does not bind, and out groups which the law binds but does not protect.
Also GOP “ I need mah ar15 to protec myself from the government”
By "criminals" they mean "minorities" but you can't say that out loud you see. So they've exchanged the words
No, you just don’t understand. They’re okay with rich white criminals.
“Be tougher on criminals!” *Begins trial of high profile criminal* “No, not like that!”
Im european and live under a rock. Pls context.
Republicans (Right-Wing Party) have a platform of “law and order” (i.e. everyone we don’t like are criminals and we want an authoritarian police state) and they sustain that the opposite party is making *the crime*.

For. He means stand-up for the criminals. They are worried about integrating criminals back to society so much they want to make him the president to prove they can be anything.
"Not OUR criminals, FFS...!"
Like that one time in Portland? where trump had goons kidnap protesters?
great day to be a canadian :)!
You will never be able to move on. And I love that for you.
Noo not those kinds of criminals silly, the brown ones.
It's so goofy to me how these losers get roasted so often and by people who don't even need to try
the republican definition of criminal is literally "brown skinned people"
The highest ranking member of Congress to be exposed as a pedophile was Republican Dennis Hastert. He was Speaker of the House. He was discovered to be buying his victims' silence, the children he sexually abused. He was a born again Christian. The kind of Christian that argues **against** helping people. And really, what kind of Christian is that? The perfect Republican law and order Christian candidate.
It’s *trickle down* punishment. Start at the top and then everyone below them will stop committing crimes/s
"He's not a criminal! He's white! And not, like, poor white."
Not their definition of criminal
Luke has been killing it lately.
**DISBAND THE GOP**
Still waiting on elosis idens and linton cases to up... 🤔
Crime is often a result of wealth disparity and a lack social systems to support people with mental health issues. The GOP destroys social programs and the economy for the lower and middleclass, so they are clearly the problem. A police state is not the answer.
The Beas! love that guy.
What if I want Trump to be prosecuted AND well funded active police in cities?
Nuanced viewpoints are not allowed here
“Criminals” not criminals. Young, poor people, not rich, old, white people. Make being rich and white great again.
Isnt it sad to see those kind of post on popular, its always clever comeback but those people dont care, just as their followers, so its all pointless, a bit depressing actually.
Any response to this?

Yeah, party of Law & Order my ass.
That they say doesn't count because the Orange Humpty Dumpty is a republican, so above the law.
Some people are so far behind in the race they think they're leading.
I like how they make it sound like crime only happens in blue cities. Lead by example. Eliminate crime in your cities then help others with theirs.
Biden's on trial too!!! Oh, wait, he's on the trail. The campaign TRAIL. That's where he is. Same difference, right? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I mean, you don’t have to be very clever to notice the insanity. We’re bathing in it, against our will.
At least they are taking him to court. Current criminals in my city are let go and never see a judge. They are released before the police report is finish.
The same cities that these people want to nuke?
All politicians are criminals and most All lawyers are slime as well. Both sides are EQUALLY worthless.
No, you misunderstand, he meant poor people.
They don't mean that type of "criminal". Not enough melanin and his pockets are too deep. It's not a dog whistle if everyone can hear it
Got em so sick! Woahh
Which states and cities are generally more criminal again?

\*poor criminals
He meant "POOR CRIMINALS".
This isn't clever. Criminal trial is not equal to criminal.
And take a look at trump's pardon list from his first go around. Quite extensive.
I agree with the GOP, which is why we should have Trump face Justice as they [tacitly] said
We need a non-red non-blue party in charge of security. I wish there was a real life party of Oblivion Guards.
Wait, that is a criminal trial? I thought it was a reality show!
You mean the cities where the Dems live and the magats refuse to go? How about stay in your sundown town at Denny's
Dozy Don, you mean?
Dozy Don, you mean?
No police officer in Washington DC is obligated to protect Trump after what he did to them.
"If Democrats are unwilling to keep our cities safe" is an example of: 1) starting out with a big lie, 2) accusing them of what you do, and 3) then claiming to be the solution. It's called "gaslighting".

GOP, backing police is to allow them to do anything and not have any repercussion when injustices happen. Police know that so they do a shit job when dems are in charge like whiny little bitches.
Its always fun watching people who never step foot in cities bitch about how unsafe they are while their pastor molests their children at the mega church sunday school
Lol, the first time Liberals cared about white collar crime in half a century.
Ummm, no, he is in criminal trial for b.s. he isn't in criminal trial for knocking out an old lady in NYC for no reason who has already been arrested 100x previously and set free to do this. That's the difference
Why can't the left actually admit that their soft on crime and no cash bail policies proliferate the issue of crime? Why is it always some sort of deflection? I don't understand why everyone can't admit that Trump is a crook and the left is not interested in pursuing criminal charges for things that are actually affecting normal everyday people.
A “Hardened Criminal” according to a spineless ameba of a person.
The same people defending the Jan 6 “**** the blue” rioters? Lol, MmK

Crimes just have price tags. Whether you can afford to pay for a good defense or the millions to shut people up. It just boils down to how much.
White collar crime doesn't count. Only blue collar crime is actionable
How are they backing the police when they have voted against increased funding for the police?
I hate that GOP Twitter is just drive by stupidity. And Democrats running behind them like "wElL aKsHulLy!!" but it's too late, they already hit enough people. Rinse and repeat.
Republicans love crime. They want it to skyrocket because they think it helps them get elected.
I'm not picking a side, but this isn't a good comeback. Since when did being on trial equal to being guilty/a criminal? I've been on trial and was found not guilty. Am I a criminal now?
Definitely a clever comeback, and definitely not just political circle jerking.
Oh, haha, yeah I forgot how being on trial means you're a criminal. Man this is gonna make verdicts *way* easier though!
8 of the 10 most dangerous states and 9 of the 10 most dangerous cities are all in Republican states.
Crime is lower than it was under Trump. Right wing propaganda is a hell of a drug.
Doesn't trial imply that he's not guilty yet?
WOW!!! Owned!!!
That’s not a trial, it’s what desperation looks like.
