It’s because Fox news viewers live in a media bubble so full of dogwhistles that none of these things actually mean the things they mean:
“Affordable Housing” is code for “ will ruin the neighbourhood.”
“City owned grocery stores and fare free buses” I’m not 100% sure on their fearmongering, but I think it might be “big gubmint is coming to take your 4x4 Childslaughtermobile away and force you to eat your veggies.”
3.“LGBTQA+ Protections” This is a pretty obvious one, but it’s the standard “They’ll make it illegal to be straight!”
4.“Raising minimum wage” is fearmongered by the right as “destroying the economy” because the best way to build a house is to never worry about the foundation and just make sure the roof is as big and heavy as possible. Their primary viewership is small business tyrants and wannabe small business tyrants, so the idea of actually paying their employees is seen as an abomination.
5.“Trump-proofing NYC” is pretty self-explanatory. They’re just claiming that opposing ICE is opposing Our Glorious Lord Trump.
