But the rural parts are also extremely unwelcoming. I have a remote job and those places are typically beautiful and cheap. But it's Trump country where everyone hates people of color, lgbtq, people of no religion, and anyone different. New money could be injected there plenty by the openness of digital work, but who wants to go be surrounded by hate and Trump supporters?

Sorry, not generalizing about you specifically, but the areas for sure.

This is why I want to move out to the country to not have to interact with anyone. Acres of land and not another soul in sight is the way.
