If you read what she wrote, it sounds like a euphemism from a gay gigalo.
Too reductive, oversimplified, and easy. That's like claiming the Roman Empire wasn't tough on Visigoths. Jacksonville, FL is a Republican stronghold, but it too is a crime hellhole. I expect better reasoning from you.
Just look at living density alone. West Virginia is a rural, GOP state, but it's riddled with crime. It just isn't concentrated in the usual urban areas because it doesn't have big cities. You take rural poverty or urban poverty, you're gonna get crime. And news media is concentrated in urban areas but has been completely decimated in the rural areas of the US, so crime in the countryside is left to rumors and chat groups rather than public awareness.
Surely Democrats can be questioned about what they do about it. People stealing from drug stores 7x a day is surely more enabling than helping. But then that's not a political decision but a business one for how those drug stores decide to police themselves. I can't blame Gavin Newsome because Walgreen's decides to let people walk out without paying all the time, then they close their stores and complain about crime enforcement.
