I actually chose to live here. It’s in the middle of the woods, and I live just far enough outside of the town part to really have to interact with any of them.
Pretty much everyone that lives here is related to one of two families, and they all know each other at the store, bar or… The other bar. I just try not to engage, because I stick out like a sore thumb. Everyone has been pleasant, but I can read their yard signs and bumper stickers loud and clear.
In the last major election, my wife and I voted for Howie Hawkins. You can check the percentages of how people vote in our township, and out of 300, 8 people voted for him. I have company somewhere
Glad you found somewhere you like. The main reason I want to get away aside from the CHUDs is the fact that I have never really left my hometown and I kind of want to change that.
