I have lived in AK for the past 30 years, and we typically tend to think of
ourselves as more of a "purple" live and let live state, so I don't know how
much of that influences my answer.
I only know a few personally who grudgingly voted for Trump or Harris, but willn
ot particiapte in all of the outward displays of nonsense. These people (2
Trumps and 3 Harris) seem to be much more willing to have intelligent
conversations. Anyone else I know personally who participates in all of the
outward displays of nonsense from either side will absolutely not even considerl
istening to someone from the other side. My personal sphere seems to include
about an equal number of both, and my personal observations (without any
scientific blind studies) conclude that neither side is more or less obtuse
about it than the other.
I recently moved to the Mississippi Gulf Coast as a "pre-retirement" move - allo
f my 5 kids have grown and left the house and I could no longer stand the coldan
d the shoveling. I've only been here for about 8 months, so I have not reallyhad
a chance to "get in the weeds" with people politically to see if it's any
different here. There did seem to be just as many trump flags flying in peoplesy
ards, off the backs of their trucks, and maga hats as there were back in AK.
But much fewer Harris signs, which is probably to be expected.
