Yep. The fascist party propaganda machines (Fox, OAN, NewsMax) have been reporting that Seattle and Portland are literal war zones for years now. I live in Seattle, and when I travel to the South or the Midwest, I always get the “ohh I’m so sorry” concerned comments from people when they learn where I’m from. So many people think that the cities literally burned down entirely.
I see this online about Seattle all the time. (Plus hyperbole about the fent/homeless prob) People will be ranting about how awful Seattle is and how you can’t go anywhere near it and I’m like “Really, I was there last month and had a lovely afternoon”
I visited Columbus, Ohio for a week last month and witnessed more homeless and drug issues than I have in Seattle in the past five years. It’s always projection, isn’t it?
I’d see certain commenters repeating that last sentence as just something that was an assumed truth.
Every single time I saw them doing it, I’d ask the usual suspects to show me exactly which cities “burned to the ground”. These same people would basically scamper off, providing no evidence, only to make the same claims again in a few hours/days.

You should ask “who’s telling you this?” The follow-up is “you should ask yourself ‘why are they lying to me?’”

Ask them why they believe mainstream media. Then watch them get an aneurysm.
