god where do I start lol
for one, it was a FIGHT to be able to allow restaurants to serve alcohol, you still can't buy alcohol in a store, or without a meal here.
the organization I'm with gets a $25,000 grant every year to put on a free 10 week music series and there's literally a group of evangelical christians who try to get it shut down because we're "heathens"
(one time they were like "you dont play OUR music, you dont play gospel!" so our director hired a black soul gospel musician and they were livid bc it was never about gospel it was about them hating anyone who isnt a white fundamentalist christian)
my town was literally FOUNDED on the abolition of slavery but some loud community members are actively trying to make it one of the most openly racist places I've ever lived
one of our progressive city council members was berated and mocked publicly IN THE MEDIA for...*checks notes* wearing leggings?
there have been month long fights about paying a preacher with tax dollars to give prayers before city council
like, my town has been covered multiple times by the Patheos/Friendly Atheist news blog for our absolutely insane christian bullshit in the city government

OH! and the county I'm in elected a representative who hogtied and beat the ever loving shit out of his wife and tried to strangle her with an ethernet cable and then made her go on TV in his defense. 
He was still allowed to run for office
and he was fucking elected

I'm in a zoom conference with the org that funds our music series and it's absolutely insane to see how all these other groups are working under their city, or arts council, or tourism commission, with all this great support - but here we are bringing people and money into our town and they don't even want us here. lol

but I stay because folks who are progressive and motivated are needed in places like this.

Yeah buddy I thought I was a hippie too until living with them, yes.

I spent years with no couch because HIPPIES CANT CRASH ON YOUR COUCH IF YOU DONT HAVE ONE
I also lived without a bathroom door so the hippies would go home

I'm fucking serious 

if I ever did the hippie commune life we'd all have our own FUCKING HOUSES

I know, I mean, I can't do my job without thinking about all this stuff.
I love it here, there's a lot of progressive folks fighting for the greater good - but the evangelical white supremacist supervillans are louder and have more money (and basically own city council)
