In total, there were around 10.31 million arrests in the U.S. in 2018, the lowest number seen over the last 2 decades. In our nation of over 325 million people and according to official FBI statistics, just over 7,000 hate crimes were reported in 2018. There were 24 hate crime murders in 2018 out of more than 16,000 murders. That isn’t to minimize those crimes; it’s to put this in perspective. This represents a slight decrease from the prior year (7,175), which should be good news. Of course, the bias liberal mainstream media only sees fit to push the false “woke” narrative that America is the “land of bigotry.”
The truth is, America today is far from a racist and bigoted nation. America is also a nation with a vibrant political system in which roughly half the population adheres to a relatively conservative perspective on the role of government. Unfortunately, rather than seeking to honestly and impartially recognize this reality, much of America’s liberal-biased fake-news mainstream media, following the lead of liberal/democrats, regularly demonizes conservatives as being motivated by hatred and bigotry. That supposedly serves as the explanation for conservative political perspectives and rejection of socialism. Indeed, if liberals/democrats’ and the Leftmedia’s characterization of conservatives were actually true, then one should expect to see “hate crimes” numbering in the tens if not hundreds of thousands. Just think of how many firearms conservatives own.
liberals/democrats demanding that everyone not only tolerate but embrace lifestyle choices that directly attack the core values of millions of people — and then crying foul and destroying lives when people refuse — is an attitude and expectation that is itself contentious, provocative, and an invitation for conflict. When they verbally attack and label people as “homophobic,” “bigoted,” "racist,” or whatever for refusing to bow to their self-serving, deviant dogma, there will unfortunately be a few who lack the patience and good sense to not criminally hit back.
