As someone in Seattle during CHOP/CHAZ, if it's anything like that, you and everyone saying 'raised to the ground' is full of shit.
Sorry, I thought my intense sarcasm was clear, it's absolutely a bullshit story.
Unfortunately, in my experience, people say it with a straight face! My family from the South was in a tizzy and I was like "its only a block and the people who started it got chased out by small gangs and groups who saw an opportunity and used violence. No one is being held hostage!"
Ironically, they would have opposed any financial relief for the area, too. -_-
Did they at least believe you when you told them everything was fine, or are they too far gone?
Eh I was dealing with an elderly family member who was weirdly panicked, but not enough to actually care or listen? They're old and I have let it go, but as I tried to explain she just wandered off to another topic.
It's one reason I don't tend to debate anymore, just make sure to say my opinion so lurkers don't think loud people are all that exists.
The absolute number of people who have already decided and them asking questions is just the lead into them going into an unhinged rant about the deep state is too damn high...
Anyway thanks for clarifying, I should remember I am on beehaw and not the REST of the internet right now. 😂
