They just move to rural or suburban areas and start pushing the same policies that made the cities unlivable in the first place. The cycle continues.
And for people who love getting on their high horses about "respecting others' culture," they don't even make any effort to learn the culture of their new neighbors after they move. They just deem anything they don't like "problematic" and try to squash it. I'm not going to defend statues of Jefferson Davis, but it bothers me they'd try to vote confederate flags out of cemeteries. They're not celebrating slavery - the rich plantation owners weren't the ones fighting on the front lines. They're honoring the poor men who actually fought the war, and in many cases those men were fighting friends and family on the other side because of a war they didn't gain anything from. I've seen cemeteries in border states (MD, VA, WV) with both union and confederate flags on plots, and that to me illustrates the moral of the story of the war - war is cruel and pits people against one another who have no reason to hate one another. But of course progressives don't take two seconds to learn this, and simply vote against it because they were told it's problematic.
I guess the same is happening with outdooring in general. Progressives get more and more into outdooring for one reason or another, but they see tons of white people involved and they've been programmed to think this is a problem. And of course, it's not that blacks may just not be into the outdoors. Instead, something MUST be wrong with hiking/camping/etc. and outdooring as a whole has to change to accommodate people who just aren't into it in the first place.
