All you have provided is a list of addresses, no more. That doesn't show what you think it shows. And posting a link to a database that only contains the last 180 days of events doesn't back up your assertions. You'll have to do better for the reader.
It shows exactly what I said it does. You can verify the last 6 months of activity (which would demonstrate my credibility to any reasonable reader), and you easily could have last year's as well if you had any doubt about it then. If you didn't, that's not my problem. I already provided more details than your Providence PD link does. What is my data lacking that theirs isn't, when it comes to "showing the work"? And if you feel something is inaccurate, please do elaborate. Welcome to the adult table. Simply saying, "I don't believe you because I don't like you" just doesn't cut it here.
I don't think you've put your finger on the problem accurately. It seems it wasn't that long ago when there was room for ideological diversity in the big two parties. For instance, Republicans had pro-choice members and Democrats had pro-life members. And it is abortion that really is the lightning rod for the two parties. It's not race, though the Democrats would have minority populations believe that.
Perhaps not. Political Science may not be my strongest point.
A NYT analyst did a dive from multiple sources on the current political division a few weeks back. The most striking voting factor wasn't necessarily race or income or even geography. It was, of all things, whether or not a person had attained a bachelor's degree. I can probably try to copy/paste it here, but I'm sure it will have a paywall.
"According to police, shots were fired into a house on Leah Street in Providence. Police said 10 bullet casings were located outside and five rounds struck the house, which is located at the intersection of Leah Street and Yale Avenue."

This again? Blue smart, Red stupid? I've got the finest Boston education that money can buy. I'm a triple niner, remember? Our motto is sorry, there's always Mensa. I'm smart enough to know that I'm stupid. So now, let's talk about the Blue geniuses. This country wasn't founded by geniuses, wasn't built and brought to greatness by geniuses and isn't held together today by geniuses. It's not farmed and fed by geniuses and it's not kept safe and secure by geniuses. It wasn't geniuses on the beaches of Normandy. Or on Iwo Jima. Or in Viet Nam. Let's look closer to home for you. Seriously, do they come any smarter than Jorge Elorza or Gina Raimondo? Honestly? Both certified Ivy League Blue geniuses. The former, currently failed and befuddled Mayor of Providence, was last seen beating his lips for "reparations" in Providence. Of course how to actually pay for it from bankrupt coffers was "a discussion for another time". Well of course it was, isn't it always? The latter, failed banker and ex Rhode Island bigwig, in all her years of higher learning never became acquainted with the miraculous wonder of low cost index funds. Instead peddling high fee, low return (or worse) hedge funds to head scratching Rhode Islanders wondering just how these expensive dogs equated to "snow tires"? Or what did she say the fees we were paying again? Or how did empty desks count as jobs at Wexford? Or exactly why again, was it that the UHIP disaster wasn't her fault? Cooler AND warmer? Yeah, don't ask. 911 "scoops"? Definitely don't ask. If these two fine egghead exemplars don't all but sew up your case for you, well I'll be a public college graduate. And me? I must not be as smart as I think I am. I've spent the last 40 years in grateful and humble service to the public. Out in my community every day. First in emergency vehicles and now in a school bus. Not one day haven't I made someone's life better or easier. Funny thing? 40 years beside countless dedicated and caring coworkers and I haven't met a genius among 'em yet. Other than myself of course. Do us all a favor? With your "educated"? Keep 'em.

If it makes you feel any better, I had my time of arrogance, of intellectual superiority. I learned humility in the only way that it ever sticks. The hard way.

I wish I could say that your Blue brothers and sisters in this very forum help to make your case. Yeah, sure do wish.

I'm pretty much done boring through this block of granite with the reader. The bit's a bit dull at this point. But this is just too hilarious to ignore. The first post in this thread was July 3, 2022. The poster didn't figure out he needed to cherry pick the data categories until three weeks later on July 24, 2022. This poster now claims, "you easily could have (verified) last year's as well if you had any doubt about it then". Just how precisely were you to have done that? The Providence Police database goes back six months. You, dear reader, should have been clairvoyant in 2021? You, dear reader, should have used your time machine? You, dear reader, should just trust that this gaffe-prone poster "oops, just a copy & paste error" didn't make a boo-boo in his "data-crunching"? Leave alone, dear reader, his long-standing credibility deficit ,you're to cheer him on? "What is my data lacking"? You, dear reader, should verify the unverifiable. You, dear reader, should just shut up and trust him.
"What is my data lacking that (the Providence Police Department's data) isn't"? Does he now imagine himself as a good as, if not better than, the folks wearing the uniform? He's wearing a uniform all right, but his involves colorful hair, a big rubber nose, big shoes, and white face paint. It's up to you, dear reader, if you want to stick your nose in and smell the bloom of his "research". But I think you'll get a squirt of water in the face.

Which may account for that internal question you seem to have: "Why am I still a democrat?"
