I figured out to listen to WHAT he says instead of HOW he says it.

Wise words. There are good and bad people everywhere, regardless of state lines, city or rural. Though I do think that across the country most rural forks have alot more in common with each other than they do with the people in their own cities.
Very true Cleebie! I didn’t realize those things until the Internet came along and I was exposed to different people from different places. We were raised in a very strict Southern Baptist home with traditional Conservative beliefs. The one thing my parents did allow us to do was visit different churches with friends. I went with friends to a local Catholic church and I loved it. The local Holiness church, not so much, especially after they brought out the snakes. LOL There are good and bad people everywhere.
My dad was so strict that he wouldn’t let Mom vote unless she promised to vote Republican. She was a Democrat at the time from up North. She couldn’t drive so if she didn’t promise, she didn’t go. He also followed me on my dates when I was in high school so I didn’t date much. 🙄 If my sister had a date, I had to go with them to chaperone.
Places like this, and others, expose me to different people. I haven’t been out of the state in about 30 years so this is how I “travel”. 😁
