The BET Awards was in LA tonight. What does have to do with anything? LA is not the hellhole trump et al is making it

[tulipsandroses]

out to be. Yes there are protests, but nothing on a large scale and LA is functioning as normal with an awards show and lots of pre- and post parties.

As per Joy Reid earlier today. She was in town and describing what was happening, saying the protests are nothing like what the media or trump is portraying

By the way, it reminded me that one year ago, Taraji P Henson talked about Project 2025 at the BET Awards and searches sky rocketed. Sigh, they looked, but didn't listen. Here we are.

1. People forget how absolutely massive LA is.

Literally 1/10th of the entire population of the United States lives here. It stretches from Thousand Oaks all the way to Irvine. We have three major airports. Two major universities, several colleges. We have like 15 professional sports teams and a shit ton of stadiums and concert venues.

I'm fucking sick of Fox News shitting on my city and my state because we're interfering in their evil schemes. Fuck them all.

3. People are stupid. The right wing posts about bad things in LA

and California but I always ask these fools if it's so bad how do you explain the economy of the state and city.

And even the homeless perform has a lot to do with people that come from other states.

I always thought it would be a good idea to have a national program where kids from all areas and income levels can visit other places.

The reason housing is so expensive is because people want to be here.

2. LA is huge. It's like during the fires when some people thought

the entire city was burning down.
