Watching local news or imbibing right wing media would have you believing we live in the middle of a Mad Max movie right now. It's not surprising.

Nothing riles up the people towards more authoritarian measures like believing crime is on the rise

Violent crime peaked in the late 80's/early 90's and has steadily declined since.

But that doesn't get the rubes to open their checkbooks

I'm lazy. I know crime isn't really worse, but can you provide a source? I'd like to read and file it away.

I dunno, I still think it's worse today than it is back then. Lot more guns and mental illness out there today.

What you think is irrelevant to the actual crime statistics

There isn't. But there were far fewer ways to report all the crime back then. The crime was worse, you just heard about it less.

It was incredible how many conservatives were trying to tell me NYC was being burned down by rioters despite me living here and telling them it wasn't

Oh man yeah. I work in rural Missouri but kive in Saint Louis. My coworkers were convinced all of Saint Louis was in flames during the Michael Brown protests. Like no guys, Ferguson isn't all that large and the protests were only taking place in a small part of it.

For a nation that prides itself on "freedom", we sure do have a large number of people willing to backslide into authoritarianism.

This.

30 years ago, if a guy gets killed in Alabama, its not news in New York.

Today, you know about it worldwide before the body gets to the morgue.

People are more than willing to trade their own freedoms if it also hurts people they hate.
