  Sure thing bud

  The lies start early and fast.

  @2:35 Claims that ‘blue’ areas have high crime: false www.dw.com/en/…/a-73855054

  The data and long-term research do not support the claim that Democrat-led cities are inherently more dangerous. Crime rates are influenced by a complex mix of socioeconomic, geographic, and cultural factors — not by a mayor’s political affiliation.

  Despite declining crime rates, public perception often suggests the opposite. The Pew Research Center found that many Americans believe crime is rising — even when data show otherwise.

  Between 1993 and 2022, violent crime in the US fell by 49%, including: Robbery: -74%, Aggravated Assault: -39%, and Murder/Non-negligent Manslaughter: -34%

  Some rambling about Caesar. Completely irrelevant, followed by saying that ‘some’ slavery abolishionists were extremists. Great look showing off some white supremacists.

  Then Scott Atlas goes on to claim that the left are the ones pushing violent rhetoric in the media, I could point to any day on Fox news or hundreds of comments by Trump to refute this easily.

  Oh look someone else has done it already: www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/…/680403/

  That’s enough wasting my time, its just two liars setting up questions for a gish gallop that will be lapped up by people incapable of critical thought.

  Oh and for the record, defending slavery is political violence, and should be met with force at every opportunity.
