There is a difference between anecdotes and data-- but be accurate, people!
This graphic is generally true, but there is one glaring error (at least): Detroit is listed as Republican town, but it has a Democratic Mayor and Michigan's Governor is still Democrat Gretchen Whitmer.
It's probably not fair to list cities in states with Republican governors but Democratic mayors (and city councils) as "Republican"-- at the very least, they are mixed re responsibility for high crime. The state listings are more fair that way-- and telling.
