That's an uncharitable interpretation of the OP. It's not that people think different, it's that people are actively discriminated in Atlanta (well it's less an Atlanta problem and more a Georgia problem). For context I write this as an African American living in the Bay Area with family that's based in Atlanta. For example as a Black person I know my vote won't count for much in Georgia, and that the state is actively working to disenfranchise it [0]. I also know that I won't have the ability to plan my family [1]. I know I might get weird looks if I'm in a non-heteronormative relationship [2]. So the problem most people have with "red" states isn't that people love God, love cops and love pickup trucks, it's that these areas actively working to restrict our "blue" freedoms. 0: https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2019/aug/14/stacey-abrams-voter-suppression-campaign-states https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2019/aug/14/stacey-abram... 1: https://www.nytimes.com/2019/05/07/us/heartbeat-bill-georgia.html https://www.nytimes.com/2019/05/07/us/heartbeat-bill-georgia... 2: https://www.nytimes.com/2019/07/20/us/tennessee-internet-ministers-gay-marriages.html https://www.nytimes.com/2019/07/20/us/tennessee-internet-min...
