Right.

In the four links I provided, nobody claims that only Republicans do it. Democrats do it as well, the lined artiles say that, too. But nation-wide, predominatly Republicans do it currently, they claim.


I red a long analysis of this problem some months ago, I think I linked that one as well, because it was so in-depth. There they also counted it for currently mostly done by Republicans.

Could of course be that only Manhatten and Brooklyn exist anymore and the rest of America meanwhile has sunk in the ocean. Our newpapers sometimes are a bit slow.
