[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We moved back to a small town.  No one really talks about politics.  Most people vote.  But politics isn’t the center of our world like it was in DC.  I rarely hear anyone mention it.  I have no idea how most people voted.  We have an LGTBQ family member.  Openly gay.  No one cares.  Our schools are open.  No threats to close.  Masks are not required anywhere, although many people choose to wear them.  Most people are vaccinated.  But, there is a lot of skepticism on the effectiveness.

We talk about family, travel, sports, weather, …….  Politics just doesn’t come up.  I’m a very liberal dem living in what is a fairly conservative area.  I’ve never felt uncomfortable.

The only real downside is lack of diversity.  This is the whitest place I’ve ever lived.  I don’t think I would have wanted to raise my kids here simply because of that. [/quote]

It’s so funny how often very liberal whites find themselves living happily in very white areas, yet lament the homogeneity.[/quote]

It’s a preference. I’m a liberal white person, but with POC children. Without my kids I would prefer a diverse area, but would still live in a mostly white area if everything else is good. It wouldn’t really affect my life. With POC children I will not move to an all
white area no matter how great it is otherwise because it would immensely affect their quality of life. [/quote]
