I knew a very conservative young woman who thought a particular Walmart was "sketchy." That Walmart was suburban and really nice. It's bigoted thinking that makes perception of crime and danger worse than actual crime or danger. Right wingers are very prone to it.

"Alpha male"

I live in Baltimore and I think about this every time some blowhard talks about how they don’t come in the city any more because they don’t feel safe in the neighborhood where I take walks alone every night and my kids ride their bikes.

I’d have to find the studies, but conservatives have a more reactive fear center in the brain, but liberals have a more reactive empathy area

The subways are HELL!!! So many not blonde aryans.

Obligatory

Does he pay rent for that space he's living in? Or is he a squatter, like the homeless in DC?

A group of people so cowardly that they are terrified to go anywhere without their gun

And only strict daddy DEAR LEADER can save you as their normalizing cognitive authoritarianism requires. bsky.app/profile/maxb...

And that you can be relied upon to spout meaningless gibberish. (Been wanting to use the word gibberish this morning for some reason. Hhhhm.)

It's well established that violent crime is at an all time low across this country. How fucking scared by your fantasy echo chamber do you have to be to still be this fucking terrified. It isn't logical or based on reality. Implying, unsurprisingly, that Republicanism is a mental health issue.

I don’t default to this often, but…what a co*ksucker

All these alpha males are such fucking pussies.

The current, average #GOP and #maga person

Whiny little bootlicker. We need video of him out at restaurants—you know he’s lying. DC peeps, get some proof!

Who does he think he’s fooling? We all know that’s bs. This has always been a problem for Congress. He sleeps in his office because he’s too greedy/cheap to pay for an apartment in DC even tho his salary is $175K/year and receives a yearly stipend of at least $2-6M for meals staff travel rent etc.

This is pathetic and I hope his constituents learn that he's just a big pussy. Have been in DC last few weekends and zero issues.

GOP congressional members SHOULD be scared. They’re traitors to our democratic republic.

The cost of outcalls alone must be staggering!

I have lots of friends that live and work in DC and they walk around and live their lives normally.

“In 1999, Burchett received national media attention for sponsoring a bill to legalize the eating of roadkill, wild animals killed by vehicles… He defended the proposal as a "common-sense thing" intended to prevent edible meat from being wasted.” (Wikipedia) “Cat: The Other White Meat”

This is a wide scale practice in Minnesota when you hit a deer with your car and it's fresh. you can buy a tag off of a State trooper

Seems a guy who’d eat roadkill wouldn’t be such a wuss on the mean streets of Washington

And they call liberals “snowflakes”!

A heavily armed giant baby.

Isn't the conservative justification of widespread gun ownership that it is supposed to make you feel safer? Why does that just fly out the window for them here?

They are all so scared. But not of the crime rate in DC. They are very scared of Trump.

Afraid the bully will say something mean about them!

magapanicker?

How would he compare it to barricading doors on Jan 6th. Or does he think his Republican lapel pin would save him.

Our new national anthem: youtu.be/4_yskRDrmqI

The people who actually wish him harm are not the demographic he's thinking

My 24-year-old niece who lives and works in DC says she'd be happy to walk him home.

If you can’t take the heat, get out of Congress. Try being a civilian in Gaza.

more confounding: IT WORKS

MAGAts love this sh*t. It confirms their racism and everything going on outside their houses and pick ups.

Epstein files, Epstein files, Epstein files. Ask him about the Epstein files.

What is it about Republicans that they're always scared of everything (except cisgender white male "Christians"— even Nazis) and want us to be scared, too?

I may not know everything. What I do know is that most of the crimes being committed are the crimes coming from the WH!!

Wuss

He’s been afraid of everything since his horse kicked him. You can’t even trust your animals.

I remain astonished at how GOP supporters can even leave their houses, given how dangerous the outside world must be to them.

He represents Knoxville which has a higher crime rate than DC.

Why is this entire administration filled with weak, fear filled, men.

I think it is likely that they are scared of their home towns too but big cities force them to get out of their personal metal box/child squisher and use their legs or get on a bus

GOP - the party of "GAH! PEOPLE!"
