16. I used to live in red areas for my work

and now I'm in a purple valley near a blue town. MY GOODNESS WHAT A DIFFERENCE!!!!!! I cannot begin to tell you how it felt to remove myself from being hated by strangers. People who have not experienced this have no idea how prison-like it is. How it becomes a sort of living PTSD experience.

I know selling a house is not so easy. But I highly recommend that you find a blue town or city and move to it ASAP.

I really mean this. It took me many years to recover from the roughly 20 years I lived in red zones. I am not even sure that I have recovered. But the anger and rudeness of the wrong wingers really is dangerous and it seems as though you know this. Please act on it.

Please try to get out of there. There are lots of really nice blue towns. I can name a few- what is important to you? Lakes, mountains, flat fertile ground? I am happy to help you look.
