When you cherry pick dig deep enough you can reach all kinds of conclusions. Antifa is responsible for Jan 6. Biden stole the election. Any attempt to paint Alabama and Texas as infiltrated by Biden supporters with a clandestine plan to spread crime across Republican states is too delusional for my eyes.

Can I post, the word "shit" again or would that be overkill? 
Murder is arguably the most heinous crime one can commit (I believe rape is worse but whatever). Anyway, I have no idea how reputable the site below is, but it showed up quickly on a 5 second search. Do those top 10 states look all blue to you? If you have murdering motherfuckers in those states, I assume a lot of other nefarious shit is happening there as well.
Like I've posted in another thread, if I am willing to commit a crime, what the fuck do I care about who is in office? I'm a criminal. I just wouldn't want to get caught after the fact. And make no mistake about it, I live in Texas, and I've fucked whores. Do you think I was thinking about politics when I stopped by the ATM to get cash before I committed those crimes or I did I miss a change in the law and prostitution is legal here now in Texas? LOL

Why? Well, in Israel and parts of the UK, a much higher % of the elderly and infirm got vaccinated than the young and the healthy. And the old and infirm were orders of magnitude more likely to die from COVID than the young, regardless of vaccination status.
When you segregated the data by age group, say 20 to 30, 31 to 40, 51 to 50, etc., you found that getting the COVID vaccine reduced the probability of death or hospitalization by maybe 80% within the individual age groups
You're making the same mistake here. When you segregate the data down to the county level, you'll find that blue counties suffer much higher rates of violent crime than red counties. I did some research on this some time back. Since the "search" function isn't working on the site, I'm having some problem finding it, but will do so after work today or tomorrow and post it. And, unlike Trump this last week, I shall actually present irrefutable evidence.
You can argue the higher rate of violent crime in blue counties is due to (a) worse policing in blue counties, and/or (b) a greater proclivity of Democrats to commit violent crimes. Either way, I don't know how you blame that on state government, more so than county and local government. Policing is done at the local level. The state highway patrol has little to do with homicide rates. As to "b", perhaps you could argue as McCain does that poverty is related to violent crime, and take that a step further and say blue states do a better job of eliminating poverty. My reply would be that income equality isn't necessarily lower in blue states. In fact New York, the District of Columbia and Connecticut are the three most unequal "states" in the USA.
More later. Please stay tuned for irrefutable proof.
