Here in Alaska there's a divide but it's unlike other states. There's a huge divide between the native and non-native populations. Not something that other states have to deal with.

As far as politics, Alaskans tend to be very independent. Constitutional carry and legal weed.

I tried to explain to the Libtard Millenial in my crashpad (who is 29 and "knows" EVERYTHING) that people like him that don't live in border states will NEVER understand the chasm arising with Texans and illegal immigration. His state doesn't have to deal with the MILLIONS AND MILLIONS of WASTED dollars to support the anchor baby/mamas and the THOUSANDS that suck our financial resources on welfare and entitlements. I've never literally wanted to punch someone in the throat in all my life.

Damn right there's a divide in this country...

I live and work in the San Francisco Bay Area...

I have lost a few sales over the years because I told people I supported President Trump

Sometimes I just can't help myself

In Kentucky, a really Republican county. Rural King is in a neighboring County, still fairly Republican.

Sounds like a place I'd like to live. Out here in NorCal, you can't open carry, people lose their shit over maga hats, my daughter can't wear anything with firearms on it to high school and people get triggered over the smallest perceived slight.

People open carrying is fairly common. Gun related shirts and hats are very common, school kids wear camo, NRA, firearm manufacturer branded clothing to school and no one blinks an eye.

I think everyone around here has a gun. I stopped after someone struck a deer and drove off, the deer was very much alive but had both rear legs broken.

I got out of my car to put it down and a neighbor girl pulls up and asked me if I needed a gun. I told her no and she drove off, I pull out my SIG P 220 and was about to aim it when another car pulls up, it another fairly young neighbor girl and asked the same question. I said no and put the poor deer out of it's misery.

I guess around here the liberals keep quiet because they are far out numbered, and the few I know are more your classical liberal, not the foaming at the mouth leftist, communist nut cases that now run the Democrat Party.

I read the original post, but not a lot of the replies. In my opinion (based in large part to where I live perhaps (northeast FL)), the country IS as divided as the media lets on; however, the huge majority of people just want to live their lives and not get into confrontations with each other.

I'm a white guy... when I pass strangers (be them white, black, or any other race, color, etc.) I'll make eye contact and the odds are, either they or I will give a quick nod or greeting. When I lived in NJ I would almost never do that (although I was younger then).

So the point I'm trying to make is that I'm sure if you talked to strangers about social issues the conversations would get heated really quickly if you were talking to someone who believes the opposite of what you believe, but without starting that conversation, most people just want to get through their day as peacefully as possible.
