    “tough on crime” is such a nonsense, afactual, high truthiness position. Anyone who unironically talks about being tough on crime should be barred from involvement in politics. It’s a strong indicator they’re going to ignore facts and data and just do what “feels” good to them.

      For reals. Why would anybody just waltz in and choose to let extra murderers and rapists go when they could instead take them off the streets? It’s just a proclamation for candidates and their drones who have no new ideas or strong positions geared at advancing society.
