They’re not afraid they’re manufacturing consent by manufacturing a crisis
Every place they’re going into is relatively safe. Even DC is generally fine. I’ve lived in nyc for 7 years I’ve lived in DC for 1 year and I have friends who live in and near LA. I go into NYC often (although Times Square is a shit hole just because it’s mostly tourists), These places are large, dense areas that also have a large variance of wealth among their inhabitants. There will always be crime in cities because of density and wealth disparity; that is a given. What’s incredible is that the much, much, much less dense areas that are generally hyper-conservative have more crime per capita, yet we see no attempts to remedy those situations. Every single thing would favor them to be safer places, but we continuously ignore the ideology present there that actively threatens the existence of our race, and will continue to do so until we cease to exist
This sickening, astroturfed fraudulent ideology must be put down if we are to survive, and that rhetoric needs to be normalized
One day they’ll train the bipartisan legislation to stand up and physically defend democracy. Kind of like how they think the constitution and laws on paper will actually get up and stand in front of criminals, physically barring them from criminaling
