The COVID plagued worsened crime across the nation and flyover country is no exception.
Whilst nation news pinned the problem on "blue state big cities" it'll be harder to assign blame for this state that is PROFOUNDLY RED and hasn't elected a DEMOCRATIC PARTY senator since the 30s.
Partisan hacks might say it's the Democratic Party Governor's fault but it'll be hard to convince reasonable people that some moderate old lady sparked a killing spree given that the Sunflower State is mostly dominated by Republicans at the state house level.
Translation . . . Rising violence is easily politicized given that NEITHER party has enacted a workable solution for more murder across the nation.
