>suburban Democrats who think Kennywood is unsafe regardless of security

Is this a real and substantial demographic? It's honestly the first time it's ever occurred to me to think of that as an identifiable group.

What kind of world do you live in where everyone has to fit neatly into some little box society has made for them? Is it really so hard to believe that suburban people who vote Democrat are worried about the periodic violence at Kennywood?

Not at all; it just hit me weird that he was naming this demographic in the same way a pollster might name "professional women over age 35". I just thought it was an unusual combination of traits to identify a group with. I dunno, looking at it again, maybe it wasn't him, maybe it was me.

Idk but the poll in the article says 52% feel unsafe at Kennywood which is nuts to me. But that's the same demographic reading the trib I guess.

Suburbanites are the only demographic that still like him. In the last election, he got walloped in the city, by an independent to boot
