My gf does this constantly. She is afraid of every man on the street. If there is a homeless or god forbid mentally ill person on her path she’s basically terrified.
Yes, she does listen to true crime podcasts. Yes, we live in a relatively safe part of a relatively safe country.
It is kinda the campaign’s job to make it easier for people to vote for someone. Harris’s campaign didn’t really make it easier for anyone. On the contrary, it alienated so many people on so many grounds. But keep blaming the voters, it will work in four years for sure.
