Living in a red area of a blue state is fucking bizarre because legally there's all kinds of anti-discrimination policies and you can listen to locally-run radio stations from just a few towns away about queer pride and social issues and everyone puts on this nice veneer about being progressive but every local newspaper constantly leads with headlines about how immigrants invented crime and the LGBTQ's are ruining American society, every third house across my town is advocating for politicians that think I should be dead and I've seen about five different people wearing iron crosses in the past couple of weeks

#I know there's no such thing as homogeneity especially when it comes to politics #it's just incredibly jarring to be reminded 'hey! half your neighbors ideologically hate the existence of you and the people you care about #some jackwagons have started putting up signs advocating against an equality bill that's coming in this election cycle #framing it as 'parent's rights being taken away'#and I have to drive past about five of them on my daily commute #I know I can't act like those politics go away after election season or anything #but it's tiring to be constantly fucking reminded of it #op back on her bullshit
