If only more people were able to value the less metropolitan parts of the country like you do.

I worry that when people flee to places like CA and NY in pursuit of like minded people and some contrived notion of status, they leave a gap that sways the political balance further right in the communities they abandon.

I guess, if you have the cash, it's easier to leave than it is to stay and try to make things better, or at the very least dilute the concentration of militant extremists.
