i can only speak for massachusetts, but growing up in the pioneer valley and worcester county, it's really jarring the vast disparity of belief and wealth. the further west you go, the redder it gets, to the extent that in my area the trump signs outnumbered the kamala signs like 5-1. i drove to the wrentham outlets to see a friend and the harris signs only started increasing the closer i got to boston, which is massachusetts to a t. in and around boston and the cape, hard blue, leave that sphere and you'll drive through one nice town and the immediate town over will be some post-industrial nightmare filled with addiction and poverty, i.e dudley and webster. it's really fucked up, this place sucks, and i want out.
