It extends well beyond the US. If you look at the comments on anything Olivia Chow (leftist mayor of Toronto) posts, you'd think that a stroll to the supermarket is comparable to a few laps of Death Race. Sprinkled with thinly veiled racism of course.
The only time I feel unsafe anywhere in Los Angeles is when a cop comes nearby, I try to ride a bike outside of a park, the cloud of tear gas the cops shot starts blowing towards me, when I am too close to orange county, when when I see someone who looks like they're from orange county, when I pass a Tesla, when its 3 am and the taco trucks are all closed and I'm hungry and a little drunk and there's just nothing to be done.
Or when the feds jump out and try to disappear somebody. That's pretty jarring.
The part that's actually turning our cities into a warzone.
