Here you go!
I'd really like to summarize the content of the following threads into a blog post format so it's not all scattered. But here are my post/thread/reply links on topics related to breaking through political and religious mind control to promote critical thinking, and assessing rural politics and stigmas, and building bridges. I've been in rural Idaho almost a year, and before that I was in the slightly-rural red-side of Washington state.
Some of these are replies to other people's threads where you might also find good info.
Shortest summary: Stay curious, ask questions, and focus on core shared values.
