The "Great Crime Decline" narrative of the last 20 years was correct but misleading in an important sense: Even at its safest, the U.S. has not been a very safe country. This is true for all demographics, but especially for Black people.🧵 niskanencenter.org/taking-violenc… Now we are two years into a reversal of the good-but-not-"great" crime decline, and huge swaths of both left and right still misunderstand what's at stake -- even in THEIR OWN ideological terms.

Today, many Buttigieg and Klobuchar voters will reluctantly pull the lever for Biden, thinking it's the only reasonable choice for "moderation" and "electability." They will be wrong, on both counts. I should preface what I'm about to say by acknowledging 1) it will prob make only a marginal difference who the Dems actually nominate so long as they coalesce behind that person and 2) American politics is extremely unpredictable!
