Extended family member posts about this a lot ‘oh the crime in LA!!’ Or SF, NYC etc.
Meanwhile the crime rate in some of these cities is the lowest in years. Is it just that they’re watching news max or Fox all day long? |
| They are just jealous that they are too poor or afraid to live there. |
| Because they have low IQ. |
| Because they don’t travel and they believe what they hear on Fox. |
| Cuz it's tiresome to see shampoo and candy and bars of soap locked behind plastic cages at CVS, or to see drug needles on the ground, or have fear of walking in the city at night. |
Brainwashed by false news sources like Fox, Newsmax etc. |

No, we assume nothing.
Our “lived experiences” have informed our decision to live and travel elsewhere. You do you boo. I choose to live far away from density, subsidized housing, weed odors from neighbors, and mentally unstable hobos outside of my door. To each their own. |
| They believe it because Trump and co are liars and cult members believe what the cult leader says. There is no more to this story. |
This is my relative |
Unfortunately this applies to many small rural towns. |
Wow that’s quite an inaccurate picture. You do know that drug use and OD rates are higher in rural populations, right? |
| Not a Maga, but lowest rate in years just means that it isn't as high as it was. For example, using imaginary numbers, DC had 117 murders 2 years ago. Last year, the number of murders is 115. This year, it is 114. Lowest in years!!! |
Rural areas are much safer. Most American cities have large neighborhoods that are "sundown towns" where no one is willing to step into after dark, no matter how liberal and anti-Maga they are on the internet. |
Hahahaha. I've lived in both, and I don't think you know what a "sundown town" is. Almost every small town in the rural mountains parts of the South is a "sundown town" where black people are supposed to be out of town by sundown or face the consequences. You must be from another country or don't know any US history because your school didn't teach it. Anyhow, I've lived in some rural southern towns (that's weren't sundown towns in the mountains) and you really don't want to go the local Wal Mart after 10pm, as I found out the hard way. Rural doesn't always mean safe, particularly if you are a woman. The local drug stores have everything locked up in rural areas too. And usually there are a whole bunch of meth heads. Which is why Fox News viewers think urban areas much be ten times worse. |
Yes, I'm intentionally using and inverting the term "sundown town" to parody you. I've lived in the rural south too. Rural sundown towns don't exist anymore, a black woman has a very low chance of robbed at gunpoint or raped in a southern hick town. But a woman has a significant chance to run into mischief in East St. Louis or West Baltimore or parts of Chicago. So which is the *real* sundown town? Use your critical thinking skills to answer my question-- don't just regurgitate your school propaganda! |
