Nobody cares about places where the only crime is a speeder who didn't see the 5 MPH drop in speed limit sign hidden behind a tree and got pulled over by a "cop" who was sitting in a place where his tires have worn grooves in the dirt.

No but let's say you're the most powerful governor in the country.

You empower those outskirts, surround the (blue)cities with law and order, then starve them of funding through as many other means as you can.

If they don't play ball, you just take the game elsewhere.

Maybe literally. Corps wanna play in Louisiana?
Saints want a new stadium?

Cool. It's gonna be outside the city, and sentencing for property violations and violent crime is going through the roof, and those SD's are gonna be empowered to enforce it.

The "right" needs to take the initiative and use power when they have it.
