I sadly find that too many friendships here are much more colored by political affiliation than where I have lived before.


I think that older people become much more certain of all of their views and stands and values and are not as open to other peoples ideas as younger people. So I think as a community we are a little more intolerant of others political views and sometimes a LOT more intolerant. It doesn't make for comfortable living sometimes and I find it a downside of living here.


I sometimes read and feel the bitterness in peoples views here and it saddens me.
