I was reading an article that Salena Zito wrote<\/a> on the out-of-control crime in Philadelphia.\u00a0 And I came across this information,<\/p>\n

\u201cA new Morning Consult-Politico poll released late last week shows over three-quarters of voters said violent crime is a major problem in the United States, with only 17% of respondents calling crime a minor problem and only 2% saying it was not a problem at all.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Well, who\u2019da thunk it?\u00a0 I can remember just a few weeks ago the polls showed that crime was a much lower priority than inflation but magically now it\u2019s grown.\u00a0 And yet the people living in the cities where crime has become a daily ordeal will still vote overwhelmingly for Democrats and especially progressives who release criminals almost as soon as they\u2019re caught.\u00a0 In fact Philadelphia recently re-elected the Soros-backed district attorney that has turned their criminal justice system into a revolving door.<\/p>\n

Maybe the pollsters are starting to let the cat out of the bag.\u00a0 Or maybe things just keep getting worse and even the progressives living in these cities are starting to panic.\u00a0 Well, I\u2019m beyond caring whether the urban dwellers will come to their senses.\u00a0 But I am interested to see if reality will have any effect on the Mid-Terms.\u00a0 Nevada, Georgia, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania all have tight senate and state house races.\u00a0 They also have big cities that are filled with rampant crime.\u00a0 It stands to reason that if these races go to Democrats, even in conditions like we have today then there is no point at which the Republicans will be able to win them back.<\/p>\n

And that\u2019s an important thing to know.\u00a0 Cause and effect are the names we give to what we use to analyze the world around us.\u00a0 When someone pulls the trigger on a gun and someone falls bleeding to the ground with a hole in his chest, we see a cause-and-effect relationship.<\/p>\n

If we see the country falling apart, we expect to see Americans vote against the people responsible for this failure.\u00a0 If we don\u2019t see that response then we have to assume that either the people like what\u2019s happening or voting is, for whatever reason, no longer a measure of the people\u2019s will.<\/p>\n

And whereas there is a difference between these two distinct reasons, the result is still the same.\u00a0 And it is that result that interests me.\u00a0 As I\u2019ve stated incessantly, I\u2019m looking for clarity.\u00a0 I\u2019m looking for the answer to the question, \u201cCan we vote our way out of this?\u201d<\/p>\n

And everything I see about this election seems to confirm that this is the perfect test case.\u00a0 There are just so many things going wrong at once that there\u2019s no conceivable way to paint this situation as a coin toss.\u00a0 There can\u2019t be a starker contrast between what the two sides stand for and what results each side produce.<\/p>\n

From the same article I read,<\/p>\n

\u201cAs one mother in Center City pointed out, President Joe Biden was in Philadelphia one month ago and never once mentioned the violence ripping her city apart. \u201cWhich is funny,” she said, “because he said he was giving a speech on the battle for the soul of the nation. Has he looked around at the soul of this city?\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Not once in Biden\u2019s 3,000-word speech did he say the word “crime” or “homicide” or “gangs.” He did, however, identify what he said \u201cwas happening in our country today that is not normal\u201d \u2014 MAGA Republicans, who he said \u201crepresent an extremism that threatens the very foundations of our republic\u201d and are \u201ca threat to this country.\u201d\u00a0 Biden added that Republicans “do not believe in the rule of law.\u201d\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Joe Biden accusing Republicans of disbelief in the rule of law is so Orwellian that it almost makes me laugh.\u00a0 That is until I remember that even if Joe Biden didn\u2019t legitimately win the 2020 election, he still must have gotten close to 50% of the electorate voting for him anyway.\u00a0 That means that almost half of Americans are either too stupid or too corrupt to reject a malevolent, cretinous liar like Joe Biden.\u00a0 That is no laughing matter.<\/p>\n

So, another data point.\u00a0 Americans know that crime is out of control. \u00a0Will this influence the elections?\u00a0 Stay tuned in less than four weeks for the answer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
