The Left shredded the bonds that tie a nation together.
There are two ways society can reduce crime and violence.
1. Maintain a strong sense of moral values and mutual trust. Create and socially enforce codes of conduct. Quickly suppress any groups that dissent from maintaining these standards. Give people the confidence to believe that they will be treated decently and fairly. And that there will be consequences for those who don’t.
2. Lots of police and prisons
If you don’t have the former, you’ll have to settle for the latter. That’s what we see in crime statistics in rural vs urban areas.
