I don't need any bias [sic] conservative news source telling me what Biden has/is doing to destroy America. Heck, even CNN, NBC and other left wing sources including dem politicians are beginning to echo the same. They all see the crime waves across America, the drugs, human trafficking, the homeless, the mounting of billions of taxpayer monies being paid out for illegal aliens, cartel gangs setting up their own turfs across America, etc etc etc.
All happening under Biden.Well, let's examine the data.
Annual government surveys from the Bureau of Justice Statistics show no recent increase in the U.S. violent crime rate. In 2021, the most recent year with available data, there were 16.5 violent crimes for every 1,000 Americans ages 12 and older. That was statistically unchanged from the year before, below pre-pandemic levels and far below the rates recorded in the 1990s, according to the National Crime Victimization Survey.So, in Biden's first year in office, violent crime was "statistically unchanged" from Trump's final year in office.
Drug-involved overdose deaths have been rising since 1999. In 2019, there were 70,630 deaths. In 2020, 91,799. That's an increase of 23%. In 2021 there were 106,699 deaths, an increase of 13%. So the rate of increase, which has been rising for decades, declined by 10%.
I had planned to go through your list one by one but since you don't support your claims with data or links, to do so would be the very definition of wasting my time, but I will suggest you need to find different news sources. I am genuinely curious, though, to learn which "left wing sources including dem politicians" are saying that Biden is destroying America.
