Still, I seem just as hateful as ever to the right - such as from being environmentalist and favoring LGBT rights.
On the "hateful" thing. Well, not focusing on you here, but there IS a lot of hate coming from the left. I was a bit shocked by it after coming to the US. Many people come here with the assumption that Hollywood's portrayal of the "hateful right-wing racists" is correct, but those are hard to find in real life. Notice made-up stories about racism for instance, and people asserting that those things happen "all the time". They don't. People seem to live in Hollywoodland.
Meanwhile, I would be very cautious to walk around with a MAGA hat. It's as if overreacting is what they do to everything on the left these days (and yes more on the left than on the right, although tensions are running high all around). The Covington kids is a good example (nothing actually happened, it shouldn't have made the news) but seriously most of 2020 felt like the left terrorizing the rest of the population.
Greetings!
I agree Trond. Very true.
It's too bad you don't live in my town. Lots of people openly wear MAGA hats. People everywhere in my neighborhood have pro-Trump banners and flags everywhere. Trump flags, the American flag, military flags. This street, that street, anywhere and everywhere.
Everywhere I go, people tell me when they see I'm a Marine Veteran, "Thank you for your service, Sir!" Businesses also customarily provide discounts for military veterans. People here are very patriotic, pro-America, Conservative, and Christian.
You would be entirely safe here, Trond. Understandably, people here take a dim view of Liberals, BLM and ANTIFA, and Marxists. People here--men and women alike--also firmly believe in GUNS and gun ownership. At the local gun shop, an employee there--he is also an active-duty police officer--encourage people to be armed, be trained, and to be equipped. Proudly so, almost like it is a duty that everyone has.
It is a very refreshing change of environment from California. Like I tell some of my friends that are still trapped in California, moving here, in so many ways, you start to see clearly how everyone in California is enslaved and oppressed. In so many different areas of life, attitude, behavior, and law, you experience *Freedom* here, instead of Liberal Marxist tyranny.
Semper Fidelis,
