- varjag 5y agoI'm sure the GP reserves his charming side for the interviews.
- dbattaglia 5y agoI was puzzled by this as well. There was of course instances of this during the George Floyd protests (over a year ago), and a bit right around the election, but that was just companies protecting their property from some of the rowdier protesters.
- forz877 5y agoThat's the narrative a lot of these people living in the flyover states are fed on repeat 24/7. You'd think NYC , SF, LA were third world countries according to them. You can tell right from his comment why he likely doesn't have a job.
- dbattaglia 5y agoMy wife and I have both been hearing this narrative from coworkers outside of where we live (in NYC), asking if we're living in a ghost town or warzone. It feels strange. By the way I think the term "flyover state" is probably a bit offensive to folks that happen to live outside of coastal cities.
- forz877 5y agoIt's bizarre but if you see the content they are watching and are fed it begins to make sense. They're never exposed to these places so they never have an opportunity to think for themselves. Often times when I've gone to more rural/southern areas it's amazing how kind the people are - I think on both sides people just forget that there are just regular folk everywhere. The politics attempts to dehumanize.

- forz877 5y agoThat's already happening anyway.
