It's hilarious how afraid conservatives tend to be of cities (hexbear.net)

I've lived in a big city for years now. Never seen anybody get mugged, or shot, or carjacked, despite doing activist work that often has me visiting poor minority neighborhoods.

The only time I ever really felt uneasy was when I had to walk alone at night through a neighborhood where all the businesses had bars on the windows. Worst thing that happened was a couple of people asking me for money, and they didn't give me any shit when I said I didn't carry cash.

But any time I visit the small town where I grew up there's always someone or another acting like I came back from a fucking warzone lmao

I do feel much more comfortable driving in my town of <500 people. Although our traintrack crossings don't have arms, and I feel like I'm constantly swerving deer. I guess I also share the road with a lot of side by sides, 4 wheelers. It probably is more dangerous, but there isn't a stop light for miles.
