Red Country, Blue City is pretty much the case with every state. The most liberal people I’ve ever met were in Asheville, North Carolina, and I’ve never been surrounded by more MAGA-loving chuds than when I spent a summer in Redding, California.
Former Asheville punk, turned loose in the hick side of southwest Nova Scotia. I’ve seen a disturbing amount of MAGA here, enough to rivel my time in North Carolina… But In Canada.
Shit is wild. Everyone here is xenophobic and racist as it gets.
Also former. Did you get gentrified out of the city too? Have you been back since you left? That town is unrecognizable even to how it was just ten years ago.
Isn’t this the story of every rural area in every country? Communities that are out in the middle of nowhere won’t have had much cultural exchange and tend to become insular.
