People seem to get along despite politics and religion, and I flat out say I'm a radical liberal to get that out of the way right off the bat.
I think maybe one of the worst moments was when Bush was in office and I had a "Frodo Failed...Bush got the Ring" bumper sticker on my car. Somebody placed a bunch of shopping carts behind my car in a pouring rain so I would get soaked moving them. I just laughed.
If that's how cheap politics is for these people -- making someone's life miserable because they don't like your opinion -- well, you have to feel sorry for those types, because they have NO lives, and their parents never taught them how to take criticism or have a respectful debate. Either you agree with them or you suck -- in their teeny tiny little uneducated noggins.
I have gotten some stink eye from some of the meaner and crueler pasty white conservative men, but they are so ignorant and corrupt I smile back, knowing karma is gonna kick their ass one day, so they can look as mean and intimidating as they like. I consider it a compliment that those evil men hate me.
I am also a liberal who owns guns, (had to laugh at a Trump supporter who claimed all liberals hate guns. He should come visit the gungeon sometime, but he insists no liberals have guns. We don't brag in public about it, but we DO have them partly to protect ourselves from conservative wackos like him) and I'm not afraid to shoot them, as do most people here. So I don't worry about being harmed for my beliefs.
Any red state also has lots of liberals, and I know plenty of them, too. They keep me hopeful.
