“That his likely general election opponent and other leaders in the Democratic Party are happy to have social structures collapse into anarchy for some unclear reason.“

Nothing unlear about it. They think it will help them take out Trump, which is all they care about. This article is amazingly dumb, even for a woke Democrat.

Any sane person looking at that chart would LAUGH at how any author could be so stupid to post it, since it makes a total joke of the article’s premise!

American “Independents” remind me somewhat of the “non-aligned” nations that always seemed to vote with the Soviet Union.

Yes, the myth that Tito was "Non-Aligned", he was always a member in good-standing with The Comintern.

There was a deal where an illegal murdered 3 people because NJ wouldn’t hand him over to ICE. Somehow he made it to Springfield.

The per capita numbers show the real situation. No R in sight. One I.

“ Among the 20 cities with the most violent crime per capita, one isn’t a Democrat: the independent mayor of Springfield, Mo.”

So one out of 20 is an independent. Doesn’t that prove Trump is right?

Right one city isn’t Democrat.

These scumbags Twist everything

The rioters are right wingers

Except the rioters are peaceful

Democrat cities are republican

Lincoln harmed the slaves

Work will set you free.

F them

Oh very much so.

You can't see or read the daily news there without a minimum of one or two shootings now. Springfield was pretty tame until the last 3 or 4 years. It's becoming a combat zone now for whatever reason.

Trump’s claim is a perfect example of social media’s definition of “Misinformation” which must be edited out and suppressed at every attempt to post anything that opposes the “new normal”

I just opened up a Springfield news website, and some fool in Springfield got shot and killed by a homeowner when said fool broke into their house last night.

Daily thing now...I'm glad I'm a safe distance from that zoo.

About independent figures in politics. Two words. Bernie Sanders.

This is the dumbest article since forever. Nothing in these graphics ought to reassure the residents of say, Chicago, where 100 people can be shot on a long weekend.

The democrats might respond that the democrat cities are more densely populated, but even on a per capita basis President Trump is proved correct.

Judging from the majority of the comments at the WP, even the majority of its readers are seeing through this.
