Taking a trip to a tourist destination such as Memphis or Nashville would be a good opportunity. Spending a day in the Central Valley or even Gilroy would be a start; interacting with people in real life helps you to understand their point-of-view better.
I vehemently disagree with the suggestion of following accounts outside your bubble on Twitter; most people are snarky and mean. It would most likely alienate you from them and never actually discover their point of view.
Btw, I dig your humility.
- daxfohl 10y agoHaha, I lived in CA and it was too liberal (note my aversion to all-thins-Apple?). I lived in Houston for seven years and, well.... I've also lived in India, Korea, Germany, Scotland, Taiwan, Malaysia FWIW. I think I can deal with twitter. My soul is somewhere between MI and OR.
- linkregister 10y agoI'm guessing you spent no time in the Central Valley or north of Sacramento. It is very conservative in contrast to the Bay Area. Colorado strikes a good balance. Appropriate levels of social spending, focus on fitness, very little finger-wagging by social conservatives, excellent opportunities for recreational shooting.
