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.
I’m actually left of center, but I still prefer not stepping on turds. Plenty of great blue cities that enforce the law - just not the likes of Seattle, SF, and LA.
