Short Take Politics

LA is not burning

The false narrative is that Los Angeles is burning. Just a few years ago, we heard the same thing about Portland and Minneapolis. That is not reality. Here is a map of LA. The red circle is where the protests are. Think of images of 4-feet of snow in Orchard Park and the Buffalo's boundaries stretching all the way past Rochester. The world thinks Buffalo is under a massive blizzard but in Irondequoit, Pittsford and Gates, the sun is shining. Immigrants aren't criminals. Trump and his supporters are lying to create a crisis that doesn't exist because it is an easy path to creating mass hysteria by oppressing a scapegoated population and consolidating power in an undemocratic way. See it for what it is. https://statuskuo.substack.com/p/countering-their-lies?utm_source=share&utm_medium=android&r=38w4v&triedRedirect=true
