Here is an idea.
Push really hard that these crime sessions cause prices to increase. Blame some of the inflation on the shoplifting smash and grab sessions. Publicize it. Even if used in ads and called racist by critics.
Remember, straining and trying hard the GOP under GW Bush, Romney and Trump only went from 2% and 5-6% black voter support to 7% in places. NOT enough to continually sell their souls for, kissing up and pandering. So tell the truth: these organized laughing mobs steal and cause prices to go up to everyone else. And stores to close and people working in them to lose jobs.
As usual, I’m angry.
