This is deep into the country, the reddest red. The school almost unteaches more than teaches because reality doesn't agree with conservative nonsense.

I wish it was isolated to there but I live deep in the bluest of blue Willamette Valley of Oregon and 1/2 my coworkers are too dumb to use the degrees they earned and just do what their husbands say. Which as a woman pisses me off so bad. I guess I’m really an angry person these days.

There's plenty to be angry about. Gotta say, especially for women.

Yes and I’m sure you can guess where the coworkers are on abortion.

Not all of the willamette valley is blue. In fact 5 miles in any direction from Portland proper is 50/50, and 15 miles from city center is reliably republican.

Suburbia is pretty much 50/50 across the country, give or take 5 percent.

Youre right to be angry, it means you’re informed, and you care. But do give yourself a break, these things are mostly out of your hands and it’s rare that you can change anyone’s mind.

I feel you. I take pride in being an entirely self-made woman. I paid off my house already...handle all my own physical labor on my property if it's in my power to fix something. If I married into that situation I would freaking dissolve.

I find that I hate people more & more. I'm not a covid denier, but I am against blanket mandates. I have lifelong chronic health issues because of a vaccine (anthrax). So, I'm hesitant about new vaccines. I'm waiting because it's what's best for me. But, I'm not going to go out & shame someone for getting the vaccine or for not wearing a mask. Your body, your choice.
