I will tell you, it is not so easy right now living in liberal Asheville, NC.
The cognitive dissonance is large and in charge. Zombie land is in full swing here.
I walk about and smile and interact. I am usually the only one I can see.
I can go to outlying towns and be just fine, amongst happy people without the narrative of fear all around them. It is refreshing and the reason i live way out in the boonies.
I have wanted to leave this place for many years but keep being brought back - it is God's country and the quartz crystal mountains and my heart just jive real nice together.
Happier days are coming.
