Unless you are some odd political bent that is truly rare, I wouldn't worry about it; and after all, there are plenty of nice people in those states that you don't have to talk politics with, at all.
- superuser2 10y agoPolitics don't exist to be a conversation topic. Local policy has real and massive impact on real people's lives. You can tune out ambient conservatism up until the moment you fall on the wrong side of a majority opinion that has the force of law, and then you can't. The sufficiently privileged (pretty much by definition) don't have to worry about this much, but say the bubble pops. Are you sure your savings account will last long enough for it to re-inflate? Because if it doesn't, it suddenly matters a great deal where the people who wrote your state laws stand on the question of personal responsibility.
- patrickg_zill 10y agoI think you need to be blunter with what you are trying to say. Are you talking about the differences between recourse and non-recourse mortgages and the state law concerning them?

- jay-anderson 10y agoAgreed. Politics-wise Arizona is roughly in thirds between Republicans, Independents, and Democrats - http://www.azsos.gov/elections/voter-registration-historical-election-data http://www.azsos.gov/elections/voter-registration-historical... (though I think the general trend away from the major parties is occurring across the US). Arizona isn't homogeneous either: Flagstaff and Tucson tend to be more liberal than the Phoenix area. Judging any state by the politics of a slim voting majority I don't think paints the whole picture.
