“Much better to simply not be in ‘that area’”
Unfortunately, it is very hard to find areas where you can avoid liberals.
You can find plenty of “safe spaces” where there are no conservatives, just none where liberals are not entitled to control your speech, thoughts, and cake-baking artistry.
“That area” was a reference to where black deviants prowl; when this story first broke, a few FReepers familiar with the area (I know nothing of Chicago) said it was BS immediately. There is something about that area that made it ridiculous that two white men, either wearing MAGA hats or yelling “MAGA”, would be there at that time.
It is hard to avoid liberals in NJ; it isn’t hard to avoid the high-crime areas frequented by certain demographics. The whole state (including its cities) is designed so you don’t have to deal with them unless you want to.
