I live in a large city in the deep south. While I might consider moving to another state that was more liberal than mine, (like California). I would NEVER move to a rural area. I have biracial children and would fear their safety. I'm not sure if I would even visit an area too far off of the highway. This is Trump's country right now and for the foreseeable future.
