“This may be happening in big cities but not where I live. Crime is down and people are very cordial to each other in public”
Same here. I just put a blue LED light on the porch and don’t expect any vandalism arising from it.
“The author is writing about San Francisco, New York and Chicago.”

Yup. To be sure, people in general aren’t as kind as they use to be, but in the cities - especially blue cities - it’s off the hook psycho.
Get out of the cities, even just to many of the burbs, and people aren’t as nuts.
It’s called “divide and conquer” and the world’s ruling elite have used it for thousands of years. Remove these current “unseen” world rulers and it may stop for another 200+ years.
SO TRUE BUMP!
Ditto here in the Idaho Panhandle.
“We’re busy feeding all of those America hating fat a$$ liberal women who want to destroy our country”
Well, as long as civility isn’t breaking down!

I think you need to change your cheese from bull to real. I live in small town USA and the county sheriff’s report as well as the larger town’s police report that go into detail on the internet tells the same story. A dramatic increase in violence, physical altercations and spousal/lover abuse, theft, meth not to mention the speeding tickets which usually accompany no insurance and/or no license. Times have changed in my neck of the woods.
However, when you have business to transact or need help then I find that people are generally friendly. So my encounters with checkers at grocery stores and retail workers are generally good natured.
Traffic is generally lower so the general flow is better, but there are a few bastards that drive recklessly because they can. But as long as you don't try to compete with them or obstruct them on purpose they are soon gone down the road.
The air is worse because of the fires. I hear about more crime, but haven't been affected directly. I have had my share of tsks and grunts by Karens when I'm not wearing my mask outside with no one within ten feet of me.
Also, I fly the LE flag at my house. I’ve got “banned video” & “infowars” bumper stickers on my back trunk. 2 incidents:
1. person behind me in McDonald’s line lightly tapped horn. I’m thinking what does this jerk want I can’t move up any closer. I look out my sideview mirror and he’s giving me the thumb up out his window.
2. was more harrowing. I’ve just stopped at a red light a couple miles north of Detroit. In my periphery on the passenger side I see a guy who had jumped out of his van and was rapidly approached. I look. He’s at my passenger window giving me 2 thumbs up and then he goes back and jumps in his van before the light changed. I thanked him with a thumbs up. That one was last week. The first was 3 weeks ago. I prolly got exact times and days somewhere. I take lots of notes during the course of my retirement days. It works for my unusual brain.
Neighborhood: About 80% like-minded with lots of LE.
America remains civil in places where such behavior still incurs an extreme risk of taking a bullet between the eyes.
PS. . .I forgot to mention the murder in the next town to the east in another county which as it has been reported had three accomplices. Motorcyles, fourwheelers, etc. are zooming at alarming speeds on the highway and in the country and elementary school aged kids are riding all over the place in town in their folks golf carts and side by sides.
But to back up this argument, the article focuses on the horrors of San Francisco, New York City and Chicago and concludes, "that's what America has become." But San Francisco, New York City and Chicago are not America.
One more thing:
I was up near Mackinac Bridge in Indian River visiting my childhood buddy and his wife who I hadn’t seen in years. After dinner & wine the conversation turned to politics and philosophy. WHOA NELLY! It got so heated Debbie said she would off POTUS if she could. I looked her in the eye and said, “would you shoot me?” She stormed off and went to bed. Poor buddy Mike was just sitting there. He has beginning Alzheimers. Sad. Lot of pressure on Deb. I slept with one eye open in the guest bedroom. In the morning she made a great breakfast. We said our bye byes after my compliments on her always good cooking.
There has to be ideological separation.
It is the only path to peace.
Incompatibility + Proximity = Conflict.
Yes. time to recall Heinlein’s dictum: “An armed society is a polite society.”
Democrats are evil.
Nope, us golfers stick together.
Right Donald?
“Think not I’ve come to bring peace....”
