   Cripple Greg Abbott and DeSantis the dago want to turn refugees into slaves.   
   The only thing holding them back is how Ted Cruz (Rafael) looks just like 'em   
   and could get treated the same.   
      
      
   I don't blame refugees for not wanting to live in Texas or Florida with all   
   that violent crime and murders.   
      
   What shitholes.   Slums.   
      
   Eight Of The Top Ten Murder States Are 'Red' States.   
      
   “You can’t make this stuff up. Eight of the top ten murder states, in terms   
   of the increase in murder rates, are all red states,” California Gov. Gavin   
   Newsom charged last week. Newsom charged that in general, “red” states that   
   voted for Donald Trump do more poorly than “blue” states that supported   
   President Biden in the 2020 election. He tweeted an excerpt from an interview   
   that has been viewed more than 3 million times — with a line with a little   
   less nuance: “8 of the top 10 murder states are red.” Newsom’s point was that   
   states that supported Biden have a good story to tell and should go on the   
   offense against Republicans who decry rising crime rates, reports the   
   Washington Post Fact Checker. “How are we losing these debates?” he said. “We   
   got to go on the offense.” Newsom spokesman Nathan Click says the data are   
   derived from reports by Third Way, a left-leaning policy group, about the   
   “red state murder problem.” The first report, using crime statistics released   
   by state governments, said eight of the 10 states with the highest murder   
   rates in 2020 voted for Trump. A later report, relying on data from the   
   Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, said “solidly red states have   
   dominated the top 10 murder rate states for the past decade — some for each   
   of the last 21 years.”   
      
   The CDC data shows that in 2019, eight of the top 10 states voted for Trump;   
   in 2020, seven of the top 10 did. The report said the gap in murder rates   
   between red and blue states has widened, from a low of a nine percent gap in   
   2003 and 2004 to a high of 44 percent in 2019. Experts question whether   
   politics, as opposed to social conditions, is a deciding factor in the high   
   homicide rates. Using the 2020 electoral college map as a proxy for blue and   
   red states glosses over whether Democrats or Republicans run individual   
   states. The top 10 states by murder rate in 2020 were Mississippi, Louisiana,   
   Alabama, Missouri, Arkansas, South Carolina, Tennessee, Illinois, Maryland   
   and Georgia. The last three are listed by Third Way as “blue” states, though   
   Georgia only narrowly voted for Biden in 2020.  “If politics plays a role,   
   it’s a minor role,” said Tod Burke, a former police officer and professor   
   emeritus in the Department of Criminal Justice at Radford University. He said   
   the South traditionally has had higher poverty rates, more economic   
   disadvantages and a culture of guns that leads to more violence.
