People of lemmy, would you live in a rural area? Why or why not?

That was my thought too. I'm guessing you're American. Rural Americans are especially bigoted for some reason. I've been to rural areas in other countries and they're not this bad. People openly stare at you in rural America if you're not white.

Not quite, but it's very similar. I have an old friend that lived for a couple decades in a VERY progressive, urban area, recently moved closer to me in a smaller town, so I went to see him and, while we are definitely still friends, there were some very dangerous conversation topics covered (carbon climate, EVs which are easy to get me going on). It's like a conservative brain worm infected him sometime in the past few months, very strange.
