Wow, a two-fer!
what the fuck are they talking about
Here are the premises that led to this:
- All black people are Democrats.
- All criminals are Democrats.
- All shootings are done by people easily categorized in one of the above groups.
None of this is true, but it’s what led here.
“90% sounds like a big, believable number, right? Let’s go with that!”
That hair is criminal
The meme is talking about “gang violence”, an oft quoted stat. While largely true, it can also be a racist dog whistle.
I commented on it here:
Conservatives love to quote the statistic that many blue counties have a higher total number of gun deaths than red counties. What they hope you don’t notice is that those blue counties are also the most populous. If you normalize the statistics per capita, those blue counties become far and away the safest areas of the country. The deep south has the highest rate of gun violence per capita.
Edit: Capita, not capital (my keyboard keeps changing it)
God, this reminds me of something that just happened last week. I got a letter in the mail from the HR outsourcing company an old job used. They got hacked and my personal info was leaked. I mentioned it to my mom, and she said something like “I can’t wait for democrats to all die so shit that that stops happening.”.
…Fucking what?
I’m about to start, should I save the ammo and let climate change do the trick instead?
Regular though in my head ( dw I’m from a no guns country)

I agree both parties are shit. It is just a matter of picking the less shitty option.
Calling someone an idiot isn’t gonna change anyone’s mind. It will just make them dislike you.
I don’t think subscribing to a party is necessarily a bad move when party primary are usually the deciding factor on who actually eventually gets into office.
With that being said, I do think there is a difference between someone who is a fanatic for a party and always listens and defends the party line, and someone who doesn’t agree with a party on everything but still leans toward a certain party because they are more in line with their views. I would suspect that the more reasonable people fall into the second group while the first group is the more emotional group who always follow the party line because they identify with their party and not their parties views.
