They could have proven the same thing by biking through Chicago or Detroit or Baltimore or quite a few other places right here.

“Liberals believe that people are basically good.”
“Wrong”
They think people are good but society makes them do bad things. That’s why they have to control society. For example, lack of gun control causes people to kill each other.
