Stunning study from Bandy X Lee at Yale - Democrats life; Republicans death

[NewJeffCT]

She's the forensic psychiatrist that thinks Trump is dangerously unstable, but this study goes back 110 years and shows that under Democratic presidents, violent death rates decline while under Republican presidents the violent death rates goes UP.

Here is her original tweet:

I did a study that showed consistently, over 110 years, Republican presidencies increase violent death rates, while Democratic presidencies decrease them. Same with economic variables. Ordinarily, we would label one disease and the other health.

Here is a thread with more detail

1. But the other side successfully captured the narrative, on this & most other issues, as well.

Whatever you call it, capturing the narrative or framing the debate or marketing, our side is far behind the 8-ball. And I don't see any evidence that this will change. We need a national campaign to challenge the GOPs claim that they are the party of family values, of personal and fiscal responsibility, the party of God and guns, the party that is truly American. Our side has let them get away with these claims for too long.

[NewJeffCT]

2. I think Trump has permanently

denied the GOP any claim to being the party of personal and fiscal responsibility

10. Doesn't matter. Look at raygun and "fiscal responsibility"

The populace will forget in 3-4 years especially with a drumbeat from the messengers (murdochs, etc.).

7. It wont change because of right wing radio.

And, I don't know of anything that can be done about that. Not in a country with first amendment rights.

[CrispyQ]

11. I wish our billionaires would buy some radio stations, hire some top notch writing talent,

and challenge the message of hate that blankets rural America. Even if they have to do it at a loss. It would have been money better spent than running for president.

12. I've been wishing for this for many years.

Hasn't happened yet.

18. Simple

Allocate 500 kHz - 1700 kHz to radiolocation services. We need a backup to satellite based GPS.

You can say whatever your want per the first amendment, but the US government still controls radio frequency allocation

[Midnight Writer]

8. Exactly. Just like the narrative that Republicans are better for the economy. Even Dems believe it.

[Kaiserguy]

13. 100% Right

We need to stop playing nice and tell it like it is every single day.

3. kicking

this is dropping because of the focus on coronavirus, but it is important

[Hearthrob]

4. We have frequently been stupid with choices.

The wrong choice reflects the unhappy choices that we humans can consistantly make.

Like a women is attracted to the shiney object occasionally referred to as a "dandy".

Too late we learn that our best mate shines in entirely different way.

But we learn the lesson well.

5. I guess the 2 big ones I've experienced would be HIV/Aids and Now the CoronaVirus

There's probably more, 9-11 took out a lot of people, all because Bush chose to ignore his daily briefing.

And then Katrina, although that was just a lack of caring caused by a natural disaster.

Sen Grassley IS the Death Panels he so often spoke about during the ACA debates.

[NewJeffCT]

6. AIDS and Katrina

would not be considered "violent" deaths, I don't think - I think she's talking about murder and similar violent deaths. Murder, suicide, mass shootings, etc

[BunnyMcGee]

16. In some jurisdictions

wouldn't this be called depraved indifference? which still supports a murder charge?

[MagickMuffin]

17. I had several friends die of AIDS

And while they weren't extreme violent deaths I'm sure they would think otherwise.

Several Katrina deaths were by violence. A lot of shootings that occurred during that time.

[catrose]

9. And yet they call themselves the party of life.

[BunnyMcGee]

14. Republicans always have to be belligerant

Reagan vs Soviets, vs Middle East, vs South America, vs The poor and helpless worldwide

Bush vs Iraq, vs Middle East, vs Americans opposing him, vs Afghanistan

and so on and so forth, and the beat goes on

[BunnyMcGee]

15. And cheating

don't forget the cheating in their side's favor, which those not in favor get to experience
