Comment on More of a uniform than a costume.
sanpedropeddler@sh.itjust.works 1 year agoI’m starting to think there might be a reason some people assumed I was a racist redneck when I argued why I like small towns more than cities. Is that seriously what its like in some places? Here you will see the occasional truck covered in trump stickers but that’s pretty much it. There’s plenty of different cultures and views here. Not as much as a city of course, but that’s as expected.

Yeah, but then you have small towns like Boulder Colorado which are much more liberal than you would find even in some larger cities.
And I grew up in the country near a couple of small towns, and we used to relentlessly make fun of rednecks and the illiterate farmers who live near the towns. One of the local high schools however had a dragon as a mascot. Apparently back in the 1980s and '90s, that was not okay because we accuse them of being KKK all the time. That high school could never live that one down.

Boulder is not a small town. But even if it were, it’s a college town which, surprise surprise, always changes the small town dynamic.
