The tone of the video is somewhere between a parody (Twilight Zone) and a fearmongering Republican attack ad. It's like they want to be scary in a tongue in cheek way? Whole thing is like a Brass Eye sketch.
Not sure you can get away with this type of political ad even if they think they are being cute or whatever.
Seems like they're selectively picking their crime stats, starting from the minimal crime that occurred during the lockdowns rather than crime before then.
