it's also steeped in coded racist language a lot of (white) people take for granted and use uncritically.
Dems also need to stop using GOP framing & right wing talking points. The entire framing of "DC or NYC or X city is dangerous" is complete fucking bullshit. All of these places are way the fuck safer than red states. Instead of accepting the GOP's reasoning, it should be "Cities are SAFE, actually!"
