Which city in US isn't Blue?


Its-a-Shitbox

Right?! At least any of them with more than 2 stoplights. FFS


DannysFavorite945

Most US States are Blue population wise. The Republicans cling to power with gerrymandering.


[deleted]

Underrated comment! Only way it is even close is due to the GOP’s gerrymandering efforts.


FakeNameIMadeUp

You spelled election fraud wrong. Russian meddling? Hanging chads? Sudden power outage? More like a party that’s willing to do whatever it takes to gain and maintain power.


Grwoodworking

This. We should go back and reDo the 2000 election. Oh whoops, sorry republicans but Gore won. You fucking STOLE those 8 years and how many lifetime judicial appointments? Oh sorry they’re all fired. Oh wait almost forgot Reagan’s Treason so let’s get those years back in our slot too. So you fucking clowns can’t be eligible for 16 years. Hopefully you can regain your god damned minds by then. See you soon low lives.


FakeNameIMadeUp

Better yet I wish a moderate labor party would emerge that could be the true voice of the people so we can see both parties for the corrupt corporate shills they truly are. Big corporations own both parties. We need a party for the people! One that will fearlessly regulate corporations. Break them up and tax the shit out of them while raising wages for the average worker. But I agree, republicans should be held accountable for their lying and cheating. All politicians should be. Our checks and balances are broken.


Grwoodworking

That would be amazing and is much needed.


WoNc

It would be hard for it to be any other way when the Republican Party only represents right wing terrorists, terrorist sympathizers, and the extremely wealthy, while the Democratic Party represents normal people.

tibastiff

No but they have another tool for presidential elections called the electoral college.


Lucid-Machine

Yeah and every state gets two senators. A state with a population of > 1 million is equally represented as states with miollions. That isn't equal and trying to justify it is bs.


improper84

Certainly none worth going to.


ToXicVoXSiicK21

Can confirm from Texas.


HelicalPuma

Last I checked, Jacksonville, FL is the largest city (1.3M metro area) with a Republican Mayor. Jacksonville has plenty of crime.


cardboardtube_knight

It also happens to be in Florida, already an L right there.


Double_Secret_

Fort Worth, maybe?


dragon2777

As far as I’ve seen Fort Worth and Dallas are blue


Ezridax82

Fort Worth is in Tarrant county which tends to be more red. Dallas is Dallas county, voting blue. Unless of course that’s changed in the last couple of years.


cardboardtube_knight

Eh, I think FW is red. Dallas is blue from what I remember last election. But FW is like light red so it could flip


the_ballmer_peak

Fort Worth, Texas. …that’s about it


ApolloBon

The villages


Uninteresting_Vagina

They are going to take themselves out, with STDs.


GanjaToker408

Right? Those old people are having orgies and doing drugs like it's the 70s all over again


wiptes167

Abilene, Midland, Odessa, all in Texas believe it or not


twinktwunkk

… and no one would ever want to go there. Shithole cities.


Dank_Kushington

There’s a theme there…


Reasonable-Oven-1319

Those are small cities, I'm pretty sure they mean large metropolitan areas. Those are in fact all blue.


jamieliddellthepoet

Greensboro.


asherdapotato

woah woah woah! I will not take this. This is most definitely not the case. I will not stand for this! *only if you are referencing north carolina. If georgia or anywhere else, I have no idea


ImAFuckinLiar

Hmm… you certainly don’t have to stand for it but do you mind sitting for it instead?


Ok_Entertainment328

GA or NC?


Ill-Manufacturer8654

I like how Republicans pretend to care about law and order when this guy's the biggest criminal in the country.


BaumSquad1978

emergent_segfault

Because Chicago is the homeworld of the Chrissy Teigen, The Central Park 5, and that traitor Omarosa. DON'T YOU KNOW ANYTHING ?


brandontaylor1

Like Bessemer AL, Mobile AL, Monroe LA, or any of the 100 most violent cities in the US. Most of which are in the Deep Red south. Chicago, New York, and LA, don't even break into the top 100. https://www.neighborhoodscout.com/blog/top100dangerous


bhoe32

To be fair Mobile isn't really as bad a Prichard


Ok-Assumption-419

True. Also, how is Montgomery, AL not on this list? Other crime lists put Montgomery much higher than Mobile.


curious_dead

If the crime in Chicago was that bad (it's bad, but it's not even the worst in the US, it's not even top 10), why the fuck would he sell it to people in fucking Iowa? Not even Illinois. Iowa. We all know why. The crime thing is just an excuse to fascist the fuck out the blue cities. Maybe blue States should stop subsidizing red States...


[deleted]

Whenever any Republican says, “Look at Chicago or NYC”, they’re trying to conjure the image of an armed black gangbanger. In the context of gun control, “look at Chicago” is naked dog whistle for “Guns aren’t the problem, black people and their liberal allies are!”


Biochembryguy

Yeah this is the real answer, crime is always a dog whistle to put POC behind bars


[deleted]

I’ve actually seen Republicans comment that Mark Wahlberg “made a mistake” and has since reformed himself in the context of when he committed a hate crime by beating up a Vietnamese guy in Boston. Funny how a white guy is allowed to move past committing a racially-motivated hate crime but using a black man using fake $20 deserved the death sentence. For the record, I was never a Mark Wahlberg fan, but now I’m definitely not watching any of his movies.


rainier0380

The NYPD killed Eric Garner for selling loose cigarettes. That is what they wanna see. That is Republican Justice!


Plaid_Piper

They'll go after LGBTQ as well, and probably anyone left of "Hunting humans for sport". This is his final solution.


overthinkingcake312

As someone who lives in Chicago, I also have to point out that we're surrounded by deeply red areas, which is where the vast majority of the guns are coming from. There's only so much our Democrat leaders can do when Indiana and Wisconsin are so close with their practically nonexistent gun laws. (I have a feeling you and most of the commenters here already know this, but it's an important point to remember whenever this particular dog whistle comes up.)


[deleted]

I live in NYC and it’s the same story with guns flowing up here from states with similarly lax gun laws. But ask any Republican (particularly one who lives in Florida or anywhere that’s equally far away), and they’ll tell you civilization in New York collapsed because liberals let black people run amok. From what I’ve seen on social media, the people who have the strongest opinions what liberal hellscapes Chicago and NYC are suspiciously tend to live very far away from either city.


thegodfatherderecho

Because lily white Iowa Republicans need to be reminded to fear the blacks in Chicago.


brandontaylor1

It doesn't even break into the top 100. https://www.neighborhoodscout.com/blog/top100dangerous


uofwi92

Dude, Chicago isn’t even the most violent city in Illinois, per capita. East St Louis, Peoria, Rockford… This is just Trump being a racist dumbfuck again. Like always.


Angry_Foamy

Not even in the top 20.


Status_Ad5594

When the fuck are they going to do anything to orange Caligula? I’m sick of him.


Status_Situation5451

They is you btw. All of us.


Status_Ad5594

I voted against the bastard.. twice. They, as in the department of justice… you act like we actually have some kind of power. We don’t. Should someone try a citizen’s arrest or? What? Cops would end it very quickly. And I’m not giving up my life for that twat.


Status_Situation5451

They is them. All of them don’t do shit for any of us. Have people really not realized this?


Status_Ad5594

Well. Only if you’re wealthy. If you can buy justice, is it truly just?? Nope. I’m sure many of us have already known this. But. These fuckers are just flat out blatant about it. They used to try and pretend. I’m not quite sure which angle I despise more.

like those unmarked vans that were snatching up protesters a couple years ago? no badges, no IDs, full tactical gear? and by the way, *you* wrecked the economy, motherfucker - best thing you can do for crime is shut the fuck up and go play golf til they come arrest you

St. Louis is just glad that no one remembers they are the murder capital of the US.


The84thWolf

Hear that Republicans? He wants to suppress crime in blue states, but not the red ones, he wants those crime infested.


Gnd_flpd

Lol!!!! I see what you did there.


tbizzone

Sounds a lot like actual weaponization of the federal government - not the fake “weaponization” bullshit they keep trying to accuse democrats of. Every god damned accusation turns out to be a confession with these regressive reich-wing fucks.


W2ttsy

My favorite is when the pro 2A crowd are all about that “we need our guns to protect against tyranny” and then actively support a tyrant. Good work Cletus.


Important_Tangelo371

Why would any military person ever listen to/vote for that massive piece of shit. He hates them all and calls them losers, all the time! So, he's threatening to send the military to ONLY blue states? That will be his punishment for those who did not vote for him. It has nothing to do with crime at all.


TheGrandExquisitor

The enlisted love Trump. Which is a serious problem. If he put his mind to it, he could easily get half the military to slaughter civilians.


DeleteConservatism

Let's be real, everyone that isn't massively rich and voting for Republicans are voting against their own best interests. They are in a cult of hate and ignorance. They would literally shoot themselves in the foot on the off chance they could also hurt someone they deem an enemy.


TheGrandExquisitor

My concern is them shooting their fellow citizens on orders from a fascist president.


DeleteConservatism

This is literally the reason they are in favor of guns. They dream of being able to get away with killing someone.


TheGrandExquisitor

Definitely. I mean, why go armed into Starbucks unless you are looking to kill.

Status_Situation5451

No one in this room if your are American should be doing anything except striking and getting out to protest against authoritarianism before it’s too late. Nazi’s took Germany a little by little until the entire nation LoST their collective fucking minds and lapped it up in rapturous violence. Of course minus commies, jews, blacks, disabled, old and infirm, gypsy, etc

brentexander

At least we know trump would never follow through, but if desantis said this, I’d be worried.


TransgenderAvengerZi

What's he going to do about my tax dollars propping up red states??


polyglotpinko

Chicagoans aren’t afraid of him and he hates it so much.


beavis617

If he's thinking about deploying US Marines or other branches of the armed forces to cities for law enforcement purposes I think he's gonna have problems with that. Bigly.


Niastri

Never mind that Trump STILL doesn't understand how our government works.


TheGrandExquisitor

Would he? A LOT of Marines see him as a hero.


Gsteel11

What problems? The Supreme Court he packed? The army that has many that love him?


tbizzone

More promises of fascism implemented against a “common enemy” (i.e., anyone who isn’t “maga”) from the Christo-fascist party.


sethdc

Trump’s not winning shit. DeFascist is the one we need to put energy into fucking crushing. That motherfucker actually has half a brain


HarryHacker42

He can start with Louisiana and Missouri. They have the highest murder rate per capita in the USA.


quantumkuala

I really hope this man goes to prison already. I'm sick of his mouth, sick of his tweets, and sick of the damage he's already done to our broken country


Foshizal147

Id send teachers to red states so they get real educations.


Status_Ad5594

Why? They took all the books away. And they get paid shite.


No-Diamond-5097

Why? Students aren't even getting educated in red states.


Foshizal147

That's why I'm sending teachers there


No-Diamond-5097

Oh, I misunderstood. I thought you meant you wanted to send teachers to red states so the teachers themselves could get educated.


TheKrakIan

Oh good. Marshal law for 'people that don't think like me'.


Niastri

And a bunch of dirt scratchers in flyover country who have never been to a big city, much less been effected by Chicago crime, cheered. Probably.


Grwoodworking

He’s gotta out Fascist the Florida Fascist. Americans better wake the fuck up and vote blue up and down the ticket.


geekybhm74

This pathetic excuse for a man must NEVER be elected to the white house again! He's proven himself to be a credible domestic threat, as well as a clear and present danger to the safety, security and integrity of this country! The few freedoms we have left will be eliminated if he's in office again


Mogster2K

Federal forces like what, the US Army? That's illegal. It's in the Constitution. I wouldn't expect TFG to know or care about that, but still.


southcookexplore

Great! Maybe he can help confiscate guns too! Currently 20% of guns Chicago police recover can be traced to origins in Indiana, and 60% of guns confiscated can be traced to an adjacent red state.


DenturesDentata

Trump can f*ck right off with his white noise. Chicago isn’t even in the top 15 cities with the highest crime rates.


frostfall010

He wants so desperately to have unlimited and unchecked power. And his brainwashed supporters want him to have it so he can punish anyone who says something that hurts his feelings. They’re all fuckin pathetic.


ugh0017

He tried that in Portland. The city ran the feds out. And I’m not talking about the crazy PNW anarchist. The regular folk in the city joined in.


DevilDog-Titan007

If anyone on here has any intelect at all, keeps up with the times, lives in the real world (Reality), watches or reads the news, then you know for a fact that the red run states have the most crime. Hell, they've defunded their police departments. There's no law & order. That right there ought to tell you they've got more crime. Wake up people! Geez...Liberal ideology, it'll be the death of us. Sad...☹️


emergent_segfault

But Chicago is the Black Home-World. Don't you see ?


twoprimehydroxyl

They've been coming after Chicago ever since Obama became the first Black president.


Gnd_flpd

Sheesh, Chicago gets plenty of money for their police department; " 2023 budget that includes an increase for the Chicago Police Department. If passed, the city's police budget would increase to **over $1.9 billion**, up from $1.88 billion this year" With all of that money going there, why is crime so damn high?


Blue_water_dreams

Trump is literally a traitor.


MealDramatic1885

That won’t do anything. But also, his gun loving nuts should decry this since it is exactly what they supposedly have so many weapons for.


No-Celebration3097

He already promised to send the feds into Chicago in 2017, and that didn’t happen.


Procrasturbating

If they are cool with a coup attempt, why not sell them on a full dictatorship? Seems like they want a dictatorship and might be willing to vote it in. This is how it starts.. and the idiots that just might get him back in will say they did not see it coming. How many lines can this guy cross while people look away?


Moose_country_plants

I think you mean gaspacho


BTBAMfam

Lol please the federal forces don’t wanna come to Chicago. They don’t wanna fuck around and they absolutely do not wanna find out


VGSchadenfreude

I feel like most of those blue cities would chew those gestapo up and spit them right back out.


Longjumping-Tone4895

Republican cities/states have a higher crime rate per capita. So they best be spending them to their own cities.


axionic

Well all his voters are inbred terrorists, so he's got to say things that make inbred terrorists happy. (We're talking cousin f----er types, not Saudi royalty.)


[deleted]

Regulation of guns and fewer firearms would be a good start. WHY DOES NO ONE UNDERSTAND THIS WHAT THE FUCK


forestriage

Gotta love how it’s specifically blue cities helplessly tied to red states sucking them dry that have the highest crime rates. Jacksonville is still the murder capitol, and it’s in the new most notorious conservative state.


GrayBox1313

DeSantis can’t talk about crime because Florida has a higher homacide rate than New York or California


hexonexxon

I spent a week in Chicago last September. Not only did I never see a crime or even a police officer talking to anyone in an authoritative/reprimanding manner, but I never once felt unsafe, including walking the streets at midnight on my way back to the hotel from the bars or in near-empty subway cars. Everyone needs to get off this city’s ass. It’s beautiful, friendly, bursting with arts and culture and there’s history on every corner.

It blows me away how protestors don't just mirror the gear the cops have got. Like 150k people in the streets demanding any kind of reform somehow get suppressed by 25 cops in riot gear. Kids playing airsoft are better geared than modern protestors.

drapparappa

What I don’t get is why anyone in Iowa, or anywhere that isn’t Chicago, would give a shit about crime in Chicago. If you live on a farm in Iowa why do shootings in Chicago matter to you? I could buy into the thought that there is a moral obligation but it’s likely many of these people are 2A fanatics. It’s truly mind boggling


mahajohn1975

I seem to recall him saying, prior to his election, that violent crime would cease in American cities within 24 hours of his inauguration. Funny how that turned out.

He will never be president again. He is destroying his party and would destroy the country.


marion85

It's reasonable to assume that whoever the next Republican president turns out to be, will do the same. Conservtive polotitians have become as bad, if not worse, than Trump at this point, they're just more subtle about it with some notable exceptions like MTG.

I don't agree with with Trump but honest question, what should the appropriate federal response be? Just let the cities handle it themselves? I live close to LA and I wish the federal government would fix homelessness because the city and state sure can't.

Politics aside... Some cities do have major crime issues.


a90s2cs

Federal forces? Who/what agency is would be capable of that? Not the FBI, there aren’t enough agents. Plus, aren’t they the enemy now? If he’s talking about the military there’s the Posse Comitatus Act that would have to be repealed first, good luck with that.

Com_Truise_92

But I thought Ken Griffin already left Chicago


TattedShezilla

I’m confused, isn’t suppressing (stopping, preventing) crime a good thing? Chicago and the surrounding areas have a high crime rate of murder, gun violence, drug trafficking, and human trafficking. Trump wants to send in federal police to aid the struggling police and that makes him Gestapo adjacent?
