Politico gerrymanders crime stats to create falsehoods

A wise man once said that "There are lies, dam lies, and then there is statistics." but this is just absurd. They draw ridiculous lines on a map to gaslight you into believing lies

Even by their numbers, the heavily niggered deep sputh is by far the deadliest part of the country while much whiter New Netherland is the least deadly. I bet if you compared the racial demographics of each region it'd align pretty closely with the difference in violence

This entire criminal Lie is based on the made up stat of 'deaths per 100K' (lie) to Cover up Chicago+gun control=762 murders every year. NO Where in the US. comes close.

yeah, I could not even make it through it, but as far as I could tell they never even made the assertion that their made up gerrymandered regions correlated to 'red states'. They just state that in the title and then spend a bunch of time talking about imaginary made up regions. 'New France' WTF? 'Greater Appalachia' which somehow includes parts of Texas? LOLZ. Even If you could get past all of that BS, the title talks about 'Gun Violence' and then they spend a third of the article talking about suicides. Total BS at every level.
