Just like BLM, it's convenient to the authors of the propaganda if you believe the entire city is a Thunderdome style madhouse. In fact, it's convenient for them if you paint entire states or even whole regions with a broad brush, so you can dehumanize millions of your countrymen. Actually, consider any type of unity with your fellow humans to be sketchy, except for going to the same church, buying the same brand, and working for the same company (no unions though!)

I've moved a lot and over the years I've lived in basically every part of the USA excluding New England. It's crazy the provincial opinions people have about the other regions and people, when in many cases you could make it a weekend trip to visit and see that no, you won't die immediately and yes, most people are just living their lives.

Now I'm picturing the Bugs and Daffy "Rabbit season, Duck season," bit but they're trying to convince Elmer the sniper to shoot at either ICE/cops or the protesters.
