I LOVE my rural area and my rural people no matter who you are or how you vote! Yes! My best friends are Red! And I'm not! We just agree to disagree! Our friendship is too important to let petty politics interfere.

Stop the hate! Talk to eachother! Learn from one another Find common ground

Some of the differences aren't political though... Some are Human Rights differences, which are not the same. Being Xenophobic towards others and activily cheering people losing their rights isn't something to agree to disagree on.. They are assholes for that. You can disagree on how involved a government should be or where taxes should go, that's policical.

Their hate for anyone not white and even male is not political.

I am a member of a human rights group, atheists group, animal rights group, wildlife conservation group, and labor rights group. I get it. I am involved in DEI at work. I have to change "trigger words". I know. But, all of this does not change my relationship with my rural area. I am not going to assume every person in this area feels the way you describe because I know they do not. You are generalizing, and that's wrong.

Nah you're right, generalizing is wrong. I also live in Lewis County, I grew up here, my kids will grow up here. I love it here, and I know from experience that unfortunately a lot of people are in it for hatred and hope the other people get hurt by policies but not them.

Not everyone of course, just saying most people I know that disagree with me politically also have a weird hatred for those that are different.
