(34 posts)We moved here (about 40 min from Springfield) about 15 years ago.
Our neighbors were friendly, and welcoming. The man who owns the farm next door helped us immensely by loaning us tools and equipment that we didnt have at the time. When a bad windstorm came through, and an ice storm before that, we all called and made sure that people were ok, and helped if they needed it. We all watch what is going on, and report any suspicious activity.
Never once has anybody asked about our political views, or tried to convince us to vote or think in a particular way.
We mind our own business, and they mind theirs.
As for the vaccine, I dont know what the neighbors are doing, and they havent asked me what Ive done.
My opinion is that Im not going to ruin my friendships here by engaging in bullshit arguments about politics or anything else. Im sure that they get their fill of all that just from listening to the news.
