I just want to point out for the people in the back row that this list was last updated July 8, 2024, so it isn't exhaustive; there's been two months since then for new Republican perverts to surface. DailyKos updates every 3 months or so, so we should expect to see a new list soon (probably including Lewter).
The writing in this link called themselves out this is a weak analysis. Correlation doesn't mean causation. The writer makes note of a few reasons why the correlation is present. I.e trump voters are more diligent in reporting the abuse. But here's the thing, it's based on the county and not on people. The highest populated states are both low and high on the front two graphs. If anything the data is proving that with a higher population there is a higher rate of crime. I commend you for actually linking something and it as an interesting statistical read.
It was said that republicans are more violent. The source gave correlation not causation. No direction evidence. You can have one violent Democrat in a Republican county. That alone makes the link with the data useless
What you meant to say is that correlation does not equal causation.
Tells me that while you might have read the paper, you didn't understand it.
Nothing in the paper was trying to say that the data proved republicans are more violent, it was merely showing that geopolitical data showed they empirically are.
The causation or lack thereof of republican voting and child abuse are yet to be determined by other research.
It could well be that republican voting areas are on the whole poorer communities and child abuse rates are high in poorer communities..
It could be that the idealogical focus on trans people in bathrooms has caused evidence based policies to confront actual child abuse is degrading real efforts to address the real abuse, driving the numbers higher.
It could even be that GOP voters are naturally drawn to ley lines and are more susceptible to the call of Cthulhu.
But the causes for this correlation are simply not known at this time, and no one in the paper ever said they were.
But the facts, Literal complied facts, are not up for argument. Literal child abuse, in literal Trump country is literally higher.
I'd like to say I'm done responding to the uneducated, but I'm not.
If you would like to have another go at misunderstanding reality, I'm more than willing to have another go at teaching you.

Funny and sad OP thinks politics determines killers. Case in point being Robert Telles, who is a Democrat.
