If Violent Crime is an Issue in the 2022 Mid Terms (It Is!) Can Dems Survive That?

Rassmussen says Americans think violent crime will be an issue in the 2022 elections, with 61% saying violent crime is worse. What does that mean for the political landscape?

Democrats have long blamed firearms for violent crime. Law-abiding gun owners are compared to criminals to justify their disarmament agenda.

Democrats have been letting criminals out of jail or not confining them.

How exactly does that play alongside opinion polling on violent crime when cast atop the political stage?

It should be curtains for the Democrats, but most media coverage on crime is always shining a light on it from the left. But the facts are not entirely lost.

Illegal border crossings are at record levels. That influx brings human trafficking and drug mules, fueling another Democrat-driven opioid crisis. Drug use, abuse, and overdoses have peaked again, a feature of every Democrat presidency in this century – with Creepy Joe getting a twofer. He was VP the last time border policy increased drug crime, opioid use, and death.

Criminal alien gangs are engaged in drug trafficking, human trafficking, and violent crime.

The infamous Soros DAs and AGs allow criminals to run loose, set them loose, or refuse to arrest or prosecute a growing list of crimes.

These loosened prosecutorial standards have caused skyrocketing property crime in cities that won’t prosecute thefts under 1000.00 dollars. Thefts that fund the gangs resulting in more drug and violent crime.

Memories of the riots of 2020, endorsed by Democrats, still linger in many people’s minds.

Places like San Francisco, Los Angeles, and New York City are becoming unlivable. Once quirky west coast enclaves, Seattle and Portland have been reduced by years of Democrat rule into unstable powder kegs where ordinary people live in fear.

And that result is precisely what the left is after. Either that or the Dems are complete incompetents, so which is it?

But Americans don’t want that, and they are beginning to realize the cause—the Democrat Party.

Will it translate to the ballot box? Can we even use the ballot box to make changes anymore?
