I moved to a conservative state to escape modern insanity and have made many strong friendships. I’m mid life and never had a better group of friends.

- jml7c5 5y agoDid you move from a city to a smaller town? Or is the population of the place you moved to about the same?
- dkdk8283 5y agoSame population density different social environment. I went from wealthy to all blue collar neighborhood.
- mmckelvy 5y agoWhich state?
- dkdk8283 5y agoDecline to answer. Happy to address general questions, though.
- nate_meurer 5y agoIn general, which state did you move to?
- wittycardio 5y agoUh what does conservative have to do with anything. I live in a large liberal city have a large group of friends
- tmh88j 5y ago>I moved to a conservative state to escape modern insanity and have made many strong friendships. How do any of those 3 things relate to one another? This is such a bizarre non-sequitur that I can only assume you're trolling.
- mkr-hn 5y agoSmall towns can be pretty chill if you're vaccinated and pretend not to see the iron crosses and confederate flags.
- tmh88j 5y agoI don't follow. Are there no small towns in Vermont or California?
- mkr-hn 5y agoI don't know about dkdk8283, but people make assumptions about states and the people in them. I've run into plenty of people online who heard I was from the south and assumed I was some terrible racist. Moving states can align stereotypes with views and save some headaches, if you can afford it.
- the_only_law 5y ago> I've run into plenty of people online who heard I was from the south and assumed I was some terrible racist Heh, I’ve got some interesting comments about this before. I was once told by someone that they were surprised I listened to rap because I’m from the south and this wouldn’t like the race of the artists.
- tomjakubowski 5y agoYou'll see confederate flags in some small, remote towns in California. Bigger ones, too, like Huntington Beach.
- strait 5y agoI was visiting family in a very rural part of Texas recently. No iron crosses or confederate flags, but plenty of Trump/Pence flags and signs still around. It's probably the best place to be unvaccinated actually. People out there are accustomed to keeping a respectful distance, aside from the occasional brief hug or handshake. They will not tolerate crowded conditions as in the city, because they don't have to. Even the Sunday church congregations are sparser than in days past. Consequently, the Covid threat out there has remained quite low.
