My conservative mother-in-law was concerned about homeless migrants stealing things from their home. They live in a gated community with 24-hour security at the gate. I mean come on. It’s not an exaggeration to say that they fear everything. It’s absurd.

I have some conservative in-laws that live in Northern Minnesota. When we drove up to visit, they were like "You stopped in MINNEAPOLIS on your way up here?!? How did you survive all the crime??"

Like seriously, Fox News has convinced these people that the world outside their immediate bubbles is an absolute hellhole overrun with immigrants, homeless people, and gang members.
