While we're at it, would be the Democrat solution to increase the GPD and decrease crime in, say, Louisiana? Or NM?
that's an interesting question. Obviously hard after generations of conservative misrule has ingrained poverty and lack of respect for education.
Probably you could read Hillbilly Elegy to get some ideas on how to help poor people trapped in conservative states. Education, better jobs and getting kids away from being stuck in conservative small towns are at the heart of it. And somehow ending drug abuse would go a long way.
Usually, unfortunately, government work is key to getting undereducated people into decent careers. So one idea is increase taxes, increase the size of local government hiring. It's not the most productive work, but the idea is to get people working and get their confidence up. I'd rather people worked in private sector but private companies generally want educated people without criminal and drug problems.
Unions can be useful to help poor people learn trades. Rs obviously fight unions at every stop since Rs want to help rich people, not poor and middle people.

Do you even understand how backward and dumb your comment is??
The absolute WORST school districts in America are all in Democrat cities that have been Democrat for DECADES.
The worst crime is found in Democrat cities that have been Democrat for DECADES.
Right...why would you spend a whole 90 seconds (that's how long it is) watching a video with statistics and sources, when you already know that it's going to show stuff that you wish weren't true? Instead, you can spend more time than that on denialism.
Got it.
Okay, I think you're not being fair, truthboy. We've already established, on this thread and others, that we're not going to require people to watch videos, even short ones.
So here you go, Joe: GOP states have a 40% higher murder rate than Dem states. GOP states are only 29% of America's economy, Dem states 71%. Nine of the top ten states to get federal welfare benefits from the gummint are GOP. Nine of the top ten states for maternal and infant mortality are GOP. Nine of the top ten states for gun violence and gun death are GOP.
The TikTokker provides his sources for all of those.
DC has a higher murder rate than any state (he should know, he lived there). DC voted about 92.1% Democrat in the past election. Most cities that account for the higher murder rates in those red states are majority Democrat. I wouldn't put too much thought towards the GDP per state, as that is relative to the cost of living / PPP. Democrat meccas like New York and California have some of the highest supplemental poverty rates and homelessness rates in the country. Here are the bottom ten areas when it comes to home ownership:
Washington DC - 44.70%
California - 54.60%
New York - 54.60%
Hawaii - 58.30%
Nevada - 59.70%
Massachusetts - 61.66%
Connecticut - 63.00%
New Jersey - 63.30%
Texas - 63.40%
North Carolina - 64.00%
Here are the top ten areas:
West Virginia - 77.80%
Iowa - 76.80%
South Carolina - 76.60%
Maine - 76.20%
Minnesota - 75.30%
Wyoming - 73.80%
New Hampshire - 73.70%
Vermont - 73.30%
Michigan - 73.30%
Idaho - 73.30%
As far as welfare, the Top 10 are 50/50 when it comes to per capita welfare recipients (nobody is denying that the south is poor, although poor people in those states typically can still afford a house):
Here are the 10 states with the most welfare recipients: New Mexico - 21,300 per 100k Louisiana - 17,320 per 100k West Virginia - 17,081 per 100k Mississippi - 14,872 per 100k Oklahoma - 14,717 per 100k Alabama - 14,376 per 100k Oregon - 13,918 per 100k Illinois - 13,883 per 100k Nevada - 13,701 per 100k Rhode Island - 13,505 per 100k

I think we can agree that in America in 2022 there are two high crime rate areas:
Urban African American communities
Rural White communities
Don't have to think much past that, probably.
African Americans are probably the bigger outlier, skewing everything.
I know more about the gas and oil industry than you do!!!
I never said anything about environmental impact, only that the Supreme Court under Donald J. Trump axed the XL extension!!! That is a strawman argument!!! Doesn't work with me!!!
That pipeline, which wouldn't have been completed by now if it had been allowed to continued, and which again was shut down during Donald J. Trump's administration, has zero to do with the cost of oil or gas!!!
Typical Dummy Trumplican thinking that a very small thing that happens to pass through the United States can affect global oil prices!!!
Joe Biden is not Donald J. Trump!!! That's all the defense that is needed!!!
The inflation we see is due to coming out of the global pandemic!!!
Your Dear Leader, Donald J. Trump, is going to go to prison!!!
The pandemic hit full force the Trump administration. Trump stared it down, scoffed and handed off to the newly elected Biden an inflation of 1.7%. Biden took that inflation, doubled down with idiotic spending programs and sent that inflation from a world-leading inflation of 1.7% to a world-worse inflation of 9.1%. Biden sh&t the pooch as a coworker of mine used to say.
Hey Dummy Trumplican!!!
You have no idea about how anything works!!!
Inflation was about where it had been for years when Trump left office!!!
The problem began when the pandemic ended!!!
People had shots in arms!!!
A lot of you Dummy Trumplicans died because you didn't want to get the vaccine!!!
The US opened back up for business, and in 2021, that created a swell of purchasing!!!
This made 2021 one of the best US GDP years ever!!!
Sounds good, but the problem is that because everyone wanted to buy, prices stayed high and went higher!!!
There was too much demand!!!
The pandemic hurt the supply chain and the worker pool!!!
The effect of all of this was not realized until Biden took office!!!
The same thing would have happened had Donald J. Trump been successful in illegally keeping power!!!
You are a Dummy!!!
Your Dear Leader, Donald J. Trump, is going to go to prison!!!
Tell me again how the Jan. 6 hearings are over!!! In about an hour, you can tune in and let me know what you see!!!
the 538 generic ballot shows continuing strength for the Ds....up to 45.7% for the Ds. That is the highest number yet and part of a steady rise in preference for Ds in congress.
the gap is 1.0% for the Ds. Which is down from a few weeks ago. So a mixed picture.
This isn't a political issue....it's just facts. Virtually the entire world is pushing hard to get away from burning stuff for energy, and for good reason as renewables become cheaper and cheaper.
The push for renewable is entirely political because the global warming hysteria is entirely political...
The dirty secret is that in order for "cheap" renewables to provide a reliable energy source, they need to be combined with a natural gas turbine plant (unless you only plan on using energy when the sun is shining or the wind is blowing). Since they have already started pushing natural gas prices higher via executive orders, with the alternative to gas turbines (battery storage) orders of magnitude more expensive, all you get from Biden's policies is unnecessary inflation and suffering.

The Dems are toast in the midterms. It's best for you to come to terms with that now.
It’s even worse than Trump’s call to Ukraine that got him impeached in the house. Basically he is threatening a long time ally because they wouldn’t do him a political favor.
What sort of president goes around threatening allies? He threatened to end a German pipeline and now he is threatening Saudi Arabia.
That wasn't very nice, Obvo. Obvo-skunk. Resorting to name-calling. You act like some kind of fishfaced twit. I'm going to take the high road here and not descend to your gutter level. You keep wallowing in swill and mush, and I'll remain in rarified air where quality people breathe and look down upon people like you festering in your tepid squalor.
Sorry, ER, anyone who quotes the wisdom of Donald Trump is REALLY inviting the moran label. And while I don't recall the context, what would appear to be one of his more distasteful quotes (I know, there's LOTS of competition to even get to the 50th percentile of his bile).

this is from 2018 but there is always a year or two lag in crime data. I doubt things are any different.

The violent-crime rate in rural areas rose above the national average for the first time in a decade, the Wall Street Journal reports. Though cities on average have a higher violent crime rate than rural areas, large metropolitan areas are safer than they have been in decades, while some small communities are getting more dangerous. In at least 10 states, most in the Midwest and Northeast, the rate of violence in rural counties has increased over two decades, even as it has fallen or stayed the same in those states’ metropolitan areas. In these less-populated areas, increased drug use and associated crimes, like drug trafficking, prostitution and theft, as well as domestic violence, are fueling the rise.

As the violent-crime rate in rural areas has risen higher than the national average, small communities in some states hit hard by drugs and declining economies are getting more dangerous, straining law enforcement.

You proudly vote for the party that calls anyone who shares your "conservative" values a racist or a nazi and you think other people are morons? LOL!

JFC
Saudi is only an 'ally' in the most general terms. it's only to have an ally in OPEC. If Saudi isn't going to help us in OPEC then it is not an ally in any sense. Expect them not to get much good military hardware until they shape up.
And if you don't want a president threatening allies, then cross out all the m'aga candidates. Trump spent four years threatening our best and closest allies. What exactly do you think 'America First' means in a foreign policy sense?
What evidence do you have that rural communities are high crime areas?
