@bradstevens absolutely. And there’s phony ass progressives who are opportunistic but there are also sincere well-meaning progressives who are genuinely all heart that get this wrong and it transcends crime to economics and so many other things
All heart is a really generous characterization. They have no heart for the victims. Oh they’ll say it’s a tragedy but at the end of the day their actions (voting) directly support & enable these things happening. Look up stats on what would happen to crime rates if repeat offenders were taken off of the street. It’s ridiculous. It’s the same thing with immigration, the “bleeding hearts” are seen as these kind, caring individuals but in reality they’re fine with seeing their fellow citizens shit on in favor of foreigners with no right to be here.
