Yeah. Living in a rural area wouldn't be so bad if it didn't involve living around people like my mom's redneck siblings.
I lived in a town in northern Arizona for a while and it was the worst. Everyone you met there said they moved there because they didn't like people... oh so I guess they didn't want to be friends ๐ฌ. Someone called the cops because my dirt patch lawn wasn't neat enough. There was a concert in the main square in town of Scream-o music praising Jesus. The highschool students had a milquetoast BLM solidarity march around the courtyard in a place that bills itself as "America's Hometown" and they were met by armed militias pointing loaded weapons at them.
I moved.
Those are some brave students, considering they should know what their hometown is like.
