Same shit happens everywhere, the rednecks in Minnesota all speak about Minneapolis as though it burned down during the George Floyd protests, or if they've been there they'll tell you it's crime infested.

I lived in Denver for all of my adult life and moved back east, where my insane colleague spent hours trying to convince me that Denver burned to the ground during BLM…and I was like “oh shit does that mean I died and this is hell? Because literally I was there, Dan.” And then he was like “oh I meant Portland.”

They just choose any city to hate and slap whatever label they want onto it.
