Why does Democrat New Mexico and Democrat Colorado which are bluer of Elvis's blue suade shoes overall have such a homicide rate compared to Republican Utah and Republican Nebraska which are Red as a Ruby on their politics.
If these trends continue in Republican Utah and Republican Nebraska they very well might be around the same rate as Canada and Western Europe on their homicide rates.
Interesting, how low the homicide rates are in Republican Nebraska and Republican Utah compared to Democrat Colorado and Democrat New Mexico.
Then again Nebraska and Utah have tremendous economic opportunity, old-fashioned lifestyles and a massive stereotypical middle-class.
Denver and Santa Fe are cities of the ultra-wealthy and those who don't know where their next meal will come from or how they will pay the rent or mortgage.
Colorado and New Mexico are also reliant on drug trafficking and drug selling to hold up their economies. Drug trafficking and usage is glorified in Colorado and New Mexico.
Democrat Colorado has had 140 homicides so far in 2022
Democrat New Mexico has had 109 homicides so far in 2022
Republican Nebraska has had 22 homicides in 2022
Republican Utah has had 28 homicides in 2022
You really can't go by state with entire cities being controlled by one party. It's not like a state is going to send in troopers to deal with a cities crime problem.
Guess those Democrat cities that make the news, year after year, for the worst in the country murder rates are high because they are in Republican states, or 50% of the murders in the country are by young black Republicans

Didn't the OP mention states?
Also, what is with the comment about young black Republicans and rolling eyes? What do you mean by that?
The homicide rates are high in many Southern red states because of the heavily Democratic urban areas with-in those states with astronomical homicide rates.
Republican Arizona for example has a very high homicide rate because Phoenix and Tucson have off-the-charts homicide rates.
Republican towns and cities across Arizona like Gilbert, Scottsdale, Peoria are some of the safest areas with their population's in the country.

Because the majority of homicides in these "red" states are generally taking place in the blue cities within these states. The actual Republican areas of these states are actually generally very safe. This isn't some secret.

Exactly, the only way to break it down is by city. Take MI, for an example. It is a blue state, but if one looks at the political maps, by city, the entire state red, with the exception of the college towns, and large cities. When looking at a map of crime, it overlays over the blue cites. As usual though there are some exceptions. A few of the wealthy cites are blue, and have virtually no crime. I'm sure this isn't the only state like that.
Comparing entire states is being deceitful, and just not truthful.

I've always said that if this country was nothing more than Democrat urban centers, our crime rates would rival Mexico and South Africa. As you mentioned, there are exceptions, but those are generally within wealthier cities as you mentioned. And cities that have lower populations of black Democrats, etc.

I reckon the fact that this whole crime thing aligns more with poverty and wealth than it does with political affiliation is lost on you.
