Progressive Judges Lead to Out-of-Control Crime

   Not that you don't realize this, but: lighter sentences, lower bail, lower conviction rates, reclassifying offenses as lesser ones, lying about crime stats...not to mention "depolicing" and "decarceration"...all lead to more crime. There is no doubt about this. It's common sense--and well-established by reputable studies. Not that it needs to be. And, of course, not that all studies are reputable. Many aren't. Producing bogus studies in support of its idiotic policies is one the left's favorite weapons.

   The whole progressive package of ideas leads to more crime--including more serious crime. Including more violent crime.

   Their laughable responses are all just things they want to do anyway: midnight basketball, free needles, head start...and just generally more money showered on the leftist NGO-industrial complex.

   Yeah, none of those things work.

   Progressive alternate between denying the plain facts and tacitly admitting that they don't think increased crime rates are a big deal.

   Neither of these things is true.

   It's downright astonishing how many insane ideas the left has adopted over the past decade.

   Though I must admit, this is one of those issues such that the seeds of the madness were already present on the blue team back when it used to be liberal. It's just much, much worse now. I can't believe I put up with this kind of patent reality-denial when I voted blue... In my defense, this was something I was always skeptical of...but I fell for the propaganda just enough to prevent me from really objecting to the policies.
