Our enemies create an array of social weapons and unleashed them in our society.

By normalized, you mean Hamas terrorist sympathizers taking over college campuses? Or do you mean that men can get pregnant and breastfeed their children?

No I'm talking about reality, and the differences in the Covid era (which was not normal) and today (which is much more normal).

Here are our 3 largest cities (I think Chicago is still above Houston)



See? Society is normalizing from the craziness of the Covid period.

We were hell on wheels. Economy boomed, the Soviet Union collapsed, it was morning in America.

I could see where that would seem like hell to you.

Reagan took the economic disaster that the Carter Admin. had and turned our economy around. It is one of the biggest turns for the better in our history. That is why he won reelection by the largest amount ever. You are retarded.

Under Reagan


Because he trusted the Dems and got fricked.

Nobody is perfect but the idea is to learn from the past mistakes to prevent them in the future.


Reagan agreed to an amnesty because the Dems agreed to fix immigration, which they immediately went back on because there is no mechanism to hold Congress to promises, especially by prior Congresses to be upheld by future ones.

so yeah, like I said, some overlap with the mid-late 70s, but general trends of spikes mid-80s to mid-90s.

So everything I just posted isn't reality?

You do understand that these statistics are drastically underreported, right?

People aren't reporting crimes and the cities aren't reporting the crime data to federal agencies. I don't expect you to acknowledge that reality either.

Yea, sure it probably sucked in New York City and Chicago. But for small and medium size towns and suburbs, the 80s were fantastic.

What I posted isn't based on the FBI's data. You're responding with irrelevant "alternative media" comments that aren't even applicable.

You do know cities can report on the number of murders directly, right? There are stories on here weekly about Chicago murders. Where were you in those thread to tell them that data was inaccurate?

I mean this is still true and most cities are much better, additionally. Some areas are worse, sure, but most are much better.

You just didn't have instant news and social media to make it seem to pervasive.
