I used to think that, but I have experienced a lot of it recently where they're not actually conservative bigots, they're just dumb

To the stupid, politics is scary and overwhelming, because they live in a small world of simple answers to complex problems

Often, this leads to conservative bigotry because social media etc. offers those simple answers

I live somewhere that is small, quiet, simple and beautiful

I have had to reassess my thoughts.

Yes: "I'm not political" does come from those who have privilege, but unlike 'Murica, when they have it explained how they benefit from others suffering, the usual response is (dare I say it...) something of an awakening
