I don't want to talk about Aldean's "Small town" lyrics or video.
I do want to point out (again) that the homicide rate in GOP "small town" counties, is higher than that in Dem "big town" counties. 🤡
A white person in a red county has about as much chance of being shot as a Black person in a blue county.🤡
(I don't know how much you know about crime in the USA, but if you have as much risk of being a victim of anything as Black people? That's not good).
The secret to not being shot in the United States is:
* Be white
* Be in a big blue city
I think it's hilarious how white folk from small towns think of New York as a dangerous place.
If you visit NYC from rural America, your chances of being shot just went *down* significantly.
If you look at victim stats, in general you see that:
* Black people shoot Black people.
* White people shoot white people.
* White people in blue counties don't point guns at each other very often.
* White people in red counties point guns at each other way too often.
That vigilante justice in red counties is often expressed by someone pulling a gun on you after a perceived traffic slight.
You can flee SF for TX because seeing homeless people scares you, but you ain't ready to see guns pulled at a fender bender, or because someone merged.🤷🏿♂️
Fox News tells you that blue counties and states are more dangerous. But Fox News isn't real. You know this. Stop pretending that you don't know this.
Ignore the racist framing, and look at who gets shot, where, and why.
@mekkaokereke @drwho Okay, so I just happened to be looking US News Best States Ranking so I looked this up, and... guess what? [edit - apologies, I missed Idaho] Only ONE red state in the top 10 for lowest crime rates.[/edit]
New Hampshire is Purple - probably Maine too, so those 2 are splits. But the rest of those 10 lowest crime states are blue.
