Waiting for the Snow to fly...
Sorry, but I don't really agree with this. Perhaps changing times have caught up with them more rapidly than they are prepared to accept, but their warped sense of reality is a choice. They choose to follow fringe media sources and to go with their gut feelings over any facts that don't fit their narrative.
That's what I'm saying. They CHOOSE to live in these environments and then believe that the rest of the world is exactly like them. They project these beliefs onto everything. Like how they all "know someone who was robbed in **Big City**", therefore they think all places with a pop over 10K are post-apocalyptic hellscapes. It's Echo-chamber life boiled down to its simplest form.
