Conservatives love to quote the statistic that many blue counties have a higher total number of gun deaths than red counties. What they hope you don't notice is that those blue counties are also the most populous. If you normalize the statistics per capita, those blue counties become far and away the safest areas of the country. The deep south has the highest rate of gun violence per capita.
Edit: Capita, not capital (my keyboard keeps changing it)
You mean "per capita" (per head, i.e., per person).
Gun violence "per capital" (gun violence divided by number of capital cities) wouldn't do much except make these six countries look good in comparison since they get to divide by a number larger than one.
I do, it was a swipe typo
One may say... A swypo
I think in this case it turned out to be the dictionary, because when I corrected it it autocorrected back to "capital."
Swipe typos sure can be awful though. I've sent some texts to my wife where the erroneous would was so bad she thought something was wrong with me.
If you think for one instant they're not using "Democrats" as a code word, then you don't understand racists.
what the fuck are they talking about
Here are the premises that led to this:
- All black people are Democrats.
- All criminals are Democrats.
- All shootings are done by people easily categorized in one of the above groups.
None of this is true, but it's what led here.
"90% sounds like a big, believable number, right? Let's go with that!"
That hair is criminal
The meme is talking about "gang violence", an oft quoted stat. While largely true, it can also be a racist dog whistle.
I commented on it here:
God, this reminds me of something that just happened last week. I got a letter in the mail from the HR outsourcing company an old job used. They got hacked and my personal info was leaked. I mentioned it to my mom, and she said something like "I can't wait for democrats to all die so shit that that stops happening.".
...Fucking what?
I'm about to start, should I save the ammo and let climate change do the trick instead?
Regular though in my head ( dw I'm from a no guns country)
