Consequences such as Democrats ruling over the most violent and highest murder rate areas (both per capita) of the nation for decades? Along with Democrats controlling the areas of the nation with by far the highest infant mortality rates. There's no question it's a direct consequence of their governance.

That's not what the parent comment is doing, unfortunately. It's sad that yet another HN discussion is derailed.
