My fibromyalgia is much better in the warmer climate...and that is why I left the Cleveland area to come to FL. I am hoping that someplace closer to a larger city---maybe Sarasota---I will find more diversity...more culture...more "enlightenment"???

Glad you're fibromyalgia feels better in the warm climate, but sorry you're encountering so many with, well, almost closed minds. There are clubs with different attitudes about politics....open forums where discussion takes place without hatred or malice. Politics is a taboo subject for me, I'm not that well versed in it and I'd only be feeding a troll....
.....let them feed somewhere else..lol.
People move here with the feelings and attitudes from whence they came many times. Their way is the only way, their belief is the correct one....nothing will change their minds. For them, from me it's a smile and little interaction....heck, I'm probably not the type of person they want to hang around with, anyway.
Again, I'm sorry you're experiencing a less than homey feeling here. Sarasota is nice, my son and his family lived there for years....they loved it. If you do move, I hope you find just what your heart needs and desires.
