    I’m from Chicago and my conservative, suburban family members all think and speak like this. Making comments about avoiding anything “south of” means you’re racist. Always. I live on the southside. Throw in some disparaging remarks about the pride parade and you’ve got yourself an exact replica.

    I fucking hate them.

      I think it would currently fit Seattle best. So many Fox News watchers were convinced that we descended into utter anarchy in 2020 and obviously it must still be dangerous.

      Philly too. The way some people talk about it you’d think it was a bombed out wasteland with nothing living left here except 2 cheesesteak shops across the corner from each other and a blood thirsty gritty stalking the shadows

    I’ve heard similar from relatives about California.

    Admittedly, we Chicagoans don’t always go out of our way to correct misconceptions. Chicago has plenty of people. We often don’t feel any need to encourage more visitors.

        If you all would stop peeling the skin off your citizens to feed it to the three headed Cerberus that guards Union Station maybe your population would remain stable. smh
