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.

@mekkaokereke There's the same inversion of Republican talk in crime stats about immigration. The violent crime rate in the U.S. is _higher_:

- among documented immigrants than undocumented
- among citizens than non-citizens
- among people born in the U.S. than people not.
