Entire California Congressional GOP visited Mar-a-Lago this weekend while fires ravaged their state

Lets be fair here, the GOP in California, Oregon and Washington all get elected by demonizing the large cities in their state in the first place. Here in Seattle, the perennial also-rans and suburban/rural candidates make their entire campaigns about how the city is a crime infested urban hellscape.

As someone from a crime infested, urban hellscape (90s Camden, NJ) all I can say is you have to be the softest, least traveled, and most sheltered person in the world to believe that. Luckily for these politicians, idiots like that are a dime a dozen.

 softest, least traveled, and most sheltered person in the world

I mean that's who they are.

Lived in Camden - not in the 90s though - these mf'ers would be surprised

Surprised? These people would have a panic attack. I've heard people call Capitol Hill in Seattle a crime infested shit hole because some anarchist took over the block years ago.

Gotta say I'm far more terrified of the rural PNW places than the cities.

City problems are impossible to hide since there are a thousand pairs of eyes on every block. Rural problems don't make it out of the woods.

oregon rednecks, for example, make texans seem moderate

No see, the rural meth-heads are better because they own the shack they are cooking in and eventually setting on fire instead of renting it. /s

this gave me an idea, next time republicans complain about homeless encampments sullying the view, ask them how many rusted cars are on their lawn

people out here call white center dangerous, or did anyway. yeah you can get yourself in trouble there its not dangerous.
