Without me saying anything. And I keep my mouth shut unless they confront me.

I don't know, would you denigrate your god to someone who's an outsider? I've lived her for 25 years but I'm still considered an outsider because of my accent and I don't go to their churches.

Why would they want to fit in with me?

Don't get me wrong, I have had some out and out arguments with these folks. They assume I'm their political persuasion until I set them straight. But even rural populations are large enough to get lost among total strangers now and then.

I don't know but seems to me there is a lot of false posturing going on. Even the crazy with all the trump trash on his house has taken it all down.
