The Partisan Divide on Issues

Illegal gun purchase, illegal gun possession and illegal gun traffic are already viewed as against the law and the law/government already has to the right/power to take action and do something about them anytime it wants to these days. Why do you guys continue to overlook this? Is it your relationship with poor minorities and poor whites who are barely educated  and primarily minority related communities that have a bad relationship with police and global crime organizations providing the bulk of the economics related to certain areas that's holding big city liberals back from doing their jobs and  enforcing laws that are already on the books or what? Here's what I think, I don't think your liberal governments have the money or the facilities or the assets that it needs to protect itself and  society from all the criminals that it has these days. Keep in mind, we don't live in Minneapolis or New York City or Chicago or Washington, DC or Baltimore or San Francisco or any other blue city that has all kinds of major problems. I'm not interested in having a liberal police chief or a liberal school administrator associated with a liberal movement who are afraid to address crime related issues or school related issues directly associated with groups of people who are affiliated with them. Like I said, I graduated from high school before the liberal double standards came into play.

First of all, I live in an exurban environment, not a city. Second, the overwhelming percentage of the populace is blue collar and hyper-Republican. So on the surface, your idea of what constitutes a problem doesn't apply here, yet the cops will freely admit that they are overly wary of every traffic stop or interaction with people who have been drinking. And this state is so gun-friendly that virtually no gun is illegal here. That actually make matters much worse. And just for informational purposes: NYC is now the safest city in the US, and one of the safest in the world, so city size and liberal association don't apply either. What NYC has is a solid handle on guns. That took a long time to achieve, but getting guns off the streets has made a huge difference.

A Mexican American Gen Xr my age of either sex is more likely to agree with my views and my views of them as equals than the views of a pampered liberal who was occupies an office for show or a liberal who obviously view of them as being inferior, incapable of learning and unworthy of having them doing the speaking for them and defending them these days. Funny, I hear a lot about racism and see a lot of finger pointing by those who don't seem able to understand what's driving their media or understands its obvious ties racist views that are still held by many liberals these days. Hint...Your racist speaker and her wealthy liberal contributor don't want them living any where near them. You can say what you want, but that's not going to change what we see or change what we are smart enough to pick up on or unfortunate enough to experience or learn first hand these day.

That's about as weird a comment as I've seen from you. If your pro-Trump, then the few Latinx people are likely to trust you as far as they can throw you. We have a very active Latinx community here, and I know a few of them quite well. They're wary -- and most are legal residents. They tend to work hard and appreciate the opportunities they have.
