"What crime stats shows otherwise." I look at the stats of crimes for the country. You can even see the number of murders for individual states or cities. Chicago has the most murders and that's why its a favorite example and its controlled by dems. Just to clarify, the biggest pile of murdered bodies.

"I have no clue about San Fran, what about it." The dems control it and it has turned into shit. If you don't know any specifics, that's okay. People that oppose the left tend to be aware of which major cities are falling apart and who is in power.

"The problem is you never actually listed anything.  You stated about bad policy but cannot produce one policy." I did a quick search and found this... https://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2021/03/22/key-facts-about-u-s-immigration-policies-and-bidens-proposed-changes/

"we go into it more indebt." For the record, indebt is not a word. "In debt" is but not relevant. What you mean is, "in depth."

 "If that is too much reading I understand, its way easier to just form an opinion from headlines then really understanding a particular issue." You should educate judges, not me.

"What exactly is the LGBT and BLM have in common." Pinkos.

First of all, when the DHS talks about the biggest threat to this country, they are talking about Domestic Terror threats. You can't really apply this to overall crime trends, because they aren't talking about the same thing. As you stated Pugs, domestic terror make up a fairly small part of the overall crime picture, so it doesn't really make sense to blame any group (eg. Neo Nazis or BLM or Antifa) for the recent increase in crime.

But it is also important to note that the recent increase in crime is just that: Recent. The overall trend of violent crime rates has shown that they have been decreasing since around 1991. If you want to blame all of the country's issues on increased liberalism, it seems kind of arbitrary to say "Okay, so the increase in the last year is because of Democratic policy, but the decline over the past three decades isn't". 

If you go into more depth on this recent increase, it becomes even harder to point to Democratic policies as the impetus. There was roughly a 26% increase in homicides between 2019 and 2020 in Republican cities, and no correlation between the number of BLM protests and the increase in the homicide rate, so your hypothesis doesn't seem to be supported by data.

As for your claims regarding immigration, you can't just point to Biden's platform, you have to explain why it is bad and provide evidence of the issues that you believe the specific policies cause.
