The fact that literally zero outlets ever cover crime decline as a story is a huge reason. (And before you yell at me, we do!)
This @today.yougov.com poll is why I'm going to become the Joker.
The US murder rate in 2024 was likely down nearly 30 percent relative to 2020 and down nearly 50 percent relative to 1990.

I have no idea if this will work, or if Senate Republicans will once again be able to rewrite the rules to save their cult leader, but at the very least it puts Democrats on the right side of this issue and puts more pressure on the pedophile protection racket in the GOP.
