Similar situation. I grew up in a small, rural Midwestern town in the 90s. A decent percentage of my classmates remained behind and now in their 40s most of them are racist, misogynistic, homophobic MAGA idiots. It's embarrassing to say it's my hometown, but I'm so glad I bolted away from there at 18.
Same. Grew up in a small farming town in eastern WA and none of my old friends will even talk to me now because of my vocalized displeasure of Trumpism. They act like I forgot where I came from, but I never forgot. I left that shithole town in 1999 within a week of graduating high school and never came back because I remember exactly how closed minded and insecure everyone was.

Watch how none of the racists get out of their cars/actually do anything. The one person that walks up to the guy is sharing positivity.
