Reply #9: Too bad [View All]

I moved to the midwest from Florida because I didn't like what happened to my native state after disney moved in.

The Midwest I know is pretty rural, and sure, there are some conservatives to put up with, but by and large Wisconsin is a pretty liberal/progressive state. ...home of fightin' Bob LaFollette etc.

It sounds like you live in a suburban setting which tends to be pretty conservative. But just a hint: outside of suburbia, in the more rural areas, you will find people with hearts of gold and a strong progressive attitude. You can't pick your relatives, of course, but you can pick the friends and people you hang with.

Make a decision to find the type of people you feel most comfortable with...there are a lot of them in the midwest.
