Good for the police here.
Because the larger cities in America have more liberal populations and much larger populations and more minorities. The George Floyd murder was like a lightning bolt hitting a tree in a California forest that set off wildfires. The systematic racism in this country is the real, root cause for the protests. Combine that with Trump's obvious racism is what sparked the discord this summer.If you want to break this down between conservative and liberal, then riddle me this.
Why are all these riots in liberal cities, and not conservative ones?
I disagree. Most big city police forces tend to be far more conservative than the populations they serve. The head of the police union in NYC is a big Trump supporter. The root cause is systematic racism and unconscious bias.Keep in mind, the cities who have the authoritarian police of recklessly kill blacks, are all ones with a history of democrat mayors. The City Flyod was killed in was democrat since 1978.
They mayors of a city influence how the city police respond.
Says who? Your post is the opposite of the truth. Why do you think there are virtually no Blacks in the GOP and even less elected Republican black officials? In the House there will be zero Black representatives next year and in the Senate there's one. What you wrote is racist because it implies that Black people are too stupid to vote for what's best for them, which you suggest is to vote Republican.If Black Lives Matter to you, you might want to start voting republican. Republicans tend to treat everyone with equality, instead of pretending to love people by race.
People believe the constant lies that the right is racist. The left has done far more to impede the blacks from prospering then the right ever has these last 50 years.Says who? Your post is the opposite of the truth.
Because most blacks support the left. It's that simple.Why do you think there are virtually no Blacks in the GOP and even less elected Republican black officials?
Facts are now racist too?In the House there will be zero Black representatives next year and in the Senate there's one. What you wrote is racist because it implies that Black people are too stupid to vote for what's best for them, which you suggest is to vote Republican.
It has been well established that only Democrats are into "identity politics." Incapable of judging people's character, Democrats only see skin color. The reason the blacks vote primarily Democrat is because Democrats pander to blacks specifically. Republicans do not pander to anyone. Republicans offer equality, nothing more, nothing less. While Democrats promise blacks a free lunch, providing they are willing to become slaves to the Democrat ideology where they will always be treated as second-class citizens, if they are lucky.Says who?

I like your signature quotation.
Have you looked around WVA, TN, KY, GA...? Single wides, sitting on overgrown land, no electricity, no plumbing, camper trailers, most without utilities, along hwys, tent community in Atlanta, somewhere along an overpass.why does the 5th largest economy in the world have tent cities? What exactly does your ideology promote? Stunning how freedoms are so easy for you to discount and massive nanny state performance is ignored. What a waste of time you are, I voted for Trump on Tuesday

Wrong! Hawaii has the highest cost of living followed by DC.How is it the fifth largest economy IN THE WORLD is having this problem leading the nation in homeless, poverty, illegals, cost of living.
Hawaii doesn't have the FIFTH Largest economy in the world. Reading comprehension seems to be another problem for you as is civics, history, and even current affairsWrong! Hawaii has the highest cost of living followed by DC.
You wrote that California had the highest cost of living in the US. Wrong. Please continue to insult me it means I'm rubbing you the wrong way. Remind us? You're leaving DP a week from today when Biden wins, right?Hawaii doesn't have the FIFTH Largest economy in the world.

You're right. NY is a sucky place to live. I wouldn't be surprised if by the end of next year that we all move to Texas and we'll elect only Dems. I wonder what a Brooklyn, TX accent will sound like?I also wrote that the 5th largest economy in the world should never have the social and fiscal results in California!! I also stated that people are fleeing California and your state obviously not generating enough revenue from inheritance to stay and pay those high taxes to pay for illegals, homeless, and those in poverty.

What you always fail to understand is that unlike you the vast majority of Americans don't judge their lives purely by economics. Quality of life is not just about money. Your posts always have a lot of HATE in them which I guess is why you love, adore, worship Trump because he's even a bigger hater than you profess to be in your posts.
BTW - you didn't confirm that a week from today you will be forever gone from DP when Biden wins?
The poor in conservative states are so poor, they can't leave. Don't kid yourself, poverty doesn't know color, ethnicity or political lean.Yes I have and the answer to that is what more gov't control and spending? How is it the fifth largest economy IN THE WORLD is having this problem leading the nation in homeless, poverty, illegals, cost of living. W/here are those tax dollars going?? Why is there such a gap in wages in California and people fleeing the state? California is exactly the model for liberalism beautiful state on the outside, a social and fiscal disaster on the inside where the masses are dependent and the leadership rich
The poor by whose standards, yours? The cost of living impacts how people live, I don't see rioting in conservative cities or areas of this country. I have no idea what world you live in but have no interest in being there with you. Partisan liberal bullshit about spending in the name of compassion when all that compassionate spending does is create dependence and rich liberal career politicians. Keep buying the rhetoric and keep ignoring resultsThe poor in conservative states are so poor, they can't leave. Don't kid yourself, poverty doesn't know color, ethnicity or political lean.
The way I see it is this. The poor often vote against their own interests, vote party line. Note, I don't name a party.The poor by whose standards, yours?

You couldn't pay me to live in shithole red states like Mississippi, Alabama, Louisiana, etc.The poor by whose standards, yours?

I'd consider modern cities in some of the backward states: Savannah, Atlanta, Nashville, Houston, San Antonio, Austin, maybe Huntsville. But, for the most part, red states are problematic: poorly educated, poor, sky daddy obsessed, sick, and filled with those dying early. Oh, and the services typically suck.
Or you could live in the beautiful state of California
