If you’re within probably 1.5 hours of the Minneapolis/st. Paul you’re probably among sane folk, maybe within 30 of Duluth as well, but if you’re out in the boonies and such you might be finding people who, while polite, might be flying a trump flag and think “city/colored folk” are the problem.

This might sound bad but I wish I had a similar level of resolve. I tolerate far too much insanity from people in my family.
