Liberal places (NYC, Boston, possible Ariana Grande concert), but conservatives living in Trumpland are the ones always scared of them and pretend to care about the victims (who they constantly hate on)

Cons have been conditioned to be scared. They don't realize the cognitive dissonance of who the actual victims are (like Muslim terrorists attack fellow Muslims a lot more than they do Westerners).

It wasn't some fluke that OBL targeted the World Trade Center and the Pentagon - one was was the a very visible symbol of American financial might and the other the beating heart of the most powerful military in the world. He knew that destroying them would send an unforgettable message.
Terrorists seem to target locations that will give them the greatest media coverage or inflict the biggest bruise - blowing up a Jason Aldean concert at Memorial Hall in Joplin, Missouri wouldn't have quite the media oomph that attacking a Bon Jovi concert at The Garden would.
