Same with Seattle and a lot of other “woke” cities. I’ve had random people tell me how [city] is a lawless, burning wasteland because the commie Democrat fascists defunded the police (they actually increased the pig budget) and their relative who lives near [city] fears for their life every day. Then I tell them I’m regularly in the city and walk around alone at night and they just call me a liar, lmao. Their brains are so fucking cooked.
It’s amazing to me how people from small towns are convinced that city life must be absolutely terrible. Having lived in both, I would take the city every time (and these are shitty American cities).

My dad unironically believes this. Thinks the police in our city are defunded and the “commies” in charge won’t let them do their jobs. Yet the police budget is higher than ever and I see cop cars LITERALLY EVERYWHERE.
I visited Minnesota a year ago or so and had multiple residents tell me they still wouldn’t even drive through Minneapolis after 2020, insinuating that the city had been taken over by racialized gangs. Sometimes they seemed to imply that large swaths of the city had burned down, instead of a police station and a handful of Arbys and Wells Fargos.

We need to pull a reverse Mao. Rural people must be brought in to see life in the cities
