    It is absolutely true. I grew up in a large urban city but now I live and work in rural, very conservative area. People who have never been within 20 miles of an urban area think it is a garentee that if you step on a train or bus, there will be someone running end to end giving everyone the “London Special” 🔪. Some people seemed genuinely surprised to hear that I’ve never been robbed or had my car stolen. It is fucking wild what happens when someone watches nothing but Fox News all day

      i’v been mulling over the idea of just how you even begin to deprogram half a country off of such engrained propaganda.

      it’s not even just fox news either, murdoch owns WSJ and like half the “independent” radios across the country
