That’s because conservative voters are stupid.
“Stupid,” nah. Bigoted, yeah. Conservatives never feel safe when their homogeneous neighborhoods are invader by others.
Yeah. I sent that while half awake. Bigoted is 100 % the better term. I sadly know too many of them.
Food bank usage skyrocketing and more people living in rest stops probably does lead to crime.
On account of accepting 1.5 million people a year into an existing housing shortage.
Not the immigrants fault, we did it to prop up asset values. Along with buying 50% of all mortgage bonds federally, extending amortizations, and ignoring developer fees and sprawled zoning.
“Housing shortage?” You mean “real estate boom,” surely. /s
This is a meaningless statement that is asserted not for the information it conveys but for how it makes you feel. It doesn’t give you insight into the problem or reveal solutions to it, it just manages your emotions. In fact, this hypothesis takes you and everyone present further from meaningful human connections.
Yeah, pretty much. Although I did reply to a comment on correcting the “stupid” portion to bigoted (I agreed with it). But yes, this is just my opinion, I wanted to say how I felt.
I bet that the same fucking propaganda playbook that’s used by the right in the US with Fox and Co is what’s behind this.
If my memory does not fail me, there was research associating some kinds of threat and anxiety with conservative voters.
The politicians’ playbook seems to cater to that kind of voter.
The conservative candidate that knocked on my door started saying how dangerous is a street nearby I walk daily. Most of his arguments were based on fear, and the culprit is always “the liberals”. So that is definitely in their playbook.
Sadly for him, most of that information is easily accessible, like a map of crimes in the city, and his arguments fell short.
Hence the reason why only Conservatives rely on fearmongering.
Conservatives need to go outside more often.
So, you’re telling me that a population of people who spend a lot more time listening to messages that their country is broken, that streets are rampant with crime, and that mass murderers are getting out of jail early is a population of people who feel less safe?
Huh, wouldn’t have expected that.
Ironically, one of the the biggest real dangers to Canada is conservatives.
Wasn’t there some scientific study that showed that Conservative brains have a much higher than normal fear response?
Basically Cons are just afraid of everything. Lil scared babies.
Why ask this question to anyone younger than 30? Of course an 18yo will feel less safe now than 10 years ago…when they were fucking EIGHT and playing Nintendo 3DS in their parents basement.
I feel like the age ranges need to be different for this question, and to do otherwise is almost trying to further the narrative of conservative youth.
The mainstream media never reports on the nightmare scenarios imagined by fearful minds when plastic straws get banned.
