Why are conservatives embracing false narratives of urban decline, and what can be done to encourage embracing social/political reality?

[Dr.Know]

Seattle is just one example of a Blue city so successful that you're astonished by the disparity between its safety/beauty on the one hand, and the bizarre apocalyptic narratives attached to it by conservatives on the other:

This once middle-class town is getting too expensive for the middle class.

But Seattle's not alone in the reality/false narrative gap; both New York City and Los Angeles rank among the 20 greatest cities in the world in a recent Conde Nast survey:

These are officially the best cities in the world for 2023 â and Dubai is up there

In fact, there's only one city that ranks higher

I mention Seattle only because a recent visit there revealed an amazing, safe, thriving city whose biggest problem - as with many US cities - is affordable housing due to the influx of newcomers clamoring for its emerald beauty.

So what gives?

Part of the explanation may be that conservatives are so hungry for a return to power that they seem unable to refrain from saying whatever it takes to sell a less than truthful narrative regarding our greatest cities in particular, and our country in general.

But there may be a deeper cause, as explored in this article:

The science behind why conservatives are so easily triggered

Curiously, it is the same reason why they are best equipped for the meme wars

What is the cost - to both conservatives and those exposed to their false narratives - of insisting on apocalyptic myths of societal decay contrary to the reality of blossoming urban areas?

What can be done to turn away these troubling false narratives and embrace the beautiful truth?

U R DELUSIONAL Seattle is a leftist shithole and so is every other democrat run city.

[EvilCat Breath]

That is from Salon; a known Left-leaning propaganda spreader of disinformation!

Conscious deception and broad-brush falsehoods coming from regressive sociopaths such as yourself.

For instance, Amazon left Seattle a year ago. Microsoft left in 2022.

 

[EvilCat Breath]

This is Seattle.

 

[Blackrook]

The white parts of any American city are safe and prosperous.

It's the blacks and Hispanics who are suffering the new way Democrats are doing things.

 

[Missourian]

I go everywhere.

Cities are shitholes.

They may keep the downtown nice looking...but right behind that facade is a virtual open sewer of dilapidation and crime.

 

[MinTrut]

LMAO that's 100% LIE.

It's a gem.

Why are you so invested in denying reality and embracing bitter falsehoods?

Are you unable to contain yourself?

The only question is, was your lie intentional or are you just stupid?

Your attempting to be clever, but it's just ridiculous projection.

 

[MinTrut]

Both!
He is stupid and also intentionally spreading a regressive, Leftist lie.

You're not responding to the topic.

Are you unable to do so?

 

[BluesLegend]

It's a gem.

Big fat liar alert ^^^
