To most people, the Democratic Party's soft-on-crime policies probably make no sense. Why would a party that claims to champion the working class, women, and minorities not do something to stop crime that disproportionately harms the working class, women, and minorities?
We saw Democrats' rabid opposition to President Trump's DC crime crackdown, calling it 'fascism" and authoritarian. They conveniently ignored the fact that for almost two weeks, DC didn't see a single homicide, and ignored the fact that zero homicides meant many young, Black men were given a second chance at life. Because in the nation's capital, 89% of violent crime victims are male, and 94% of those are Black. Over 60% of homicide victims are between 18 and 34 years old.
In Chicago, Mayor Brandon Johnson called jailing people "unholy" and law enforcement a "sickness," claiming neither does anything to reduce crime.
After the horrific stabbing of Iryna Zarutska in Charlotte, Democrats blamed Republicans for defunding the police, and the mayor of Charlotte, Vi Lyles, echoed Brandon Johnson is saying throwing criminals behind bars doesn't stop crime. She also tried to suppress video of the stabbing, thanking "media partners" who didn't share what her failed leadership led to.
But the question is why? Why do Democrats care more about criminals than the lives of women like Iryna or the countless young, Black men in DC, or Chicago man Mark Arceta?

It's because violence is the tool they use for their ultimate goal: the downfall of the United States.
Horrifying, listen to three professors from Virginia public universities discuss taking down the United States through violence.

In this video, various academics call for violence, and they are University of Virginia's Tiffany King, Virginia Tech's Bikrum Gill, and William & Mary's Stephen Sheehi.
Last week @GlennYoungkin did a media circuit declaring that "DEI is done at the University of Virginia." If that were the case, there wouldn't be a private workshop and seminar on "Decolonizing Your Syllabus" and "Seeing the Unseen: Identifying and Unlearning Colonial Paradigms… pic.twitter.com/9OBWgtlcBL

And here's some more of what they had to say about violence and destroying America:
"We actually need to crash the US settler state"
"We must stand with the armed resistance and work right now to end this impunity by disrupting the flow of weapons to Zionist cause. The armed resistance will defeat Zionism if it was open battlefield."
I can't tell you how many times I have heard it, "Decolonialization is not a metaphor."
But given everything Democrats have said and done in relation to crime is not merely being "soft-on-crime." It's an intentional plan to use violence for political power.
It’s not “Soft-on-Crime”.

Can we please update our language and realize that language matters a lot.
Communists don’t set murderers free because they’re naive and “soft on crime”
They do it because they want them to murder more people and destabilize society.
It’s intentional https://t.co/kcaVDH2AvX
And that's why not one single Democrat has condemned this rhetoric, of course. And they never will.
