What fearmongering do you find laughably wrong? What do you witness everyday that makes others clutch their pearls while watching the news?

That Portland is a filthy, crime ridden hell-hole. I used to live in Cincinnati, Portland is almost paradise. But it's "blue", so must be lots of crime...

Remember when the entire west coast was burned to the ground during the George Floyd protests. Whole thing, every city, gone.

I mean I lived in the Bay Area and San Francisco seemed completely unaffected. But the news told me daily about how every city had been turned into a mad max style thunder dome where the only medical care that remained was gender affirming transition surgeries.

It’s fun being governed now by the candidates that appealed to the voters who saw that and went, “yep, that’s gotta be true”

Cincinnati is blue too, and Cincinnati is a filthy crime ridden hell hole. Ok I hear it's improving. The PNW has its issues for sure, and the homelessness issue is real (sure would be nice if red America bought their homeless shelters and apartments instead of just greyhound tickets west), but nah I don't want to go back to the rust belt.
