(89,289 posts)by liberal i mean things like green energy which would make them less likely to connect environment/regulations with job losses.
there should be state/national programs to allow students to travel to other countries . all paid for by the govt. they take classes , experience a different culture .
but in the end you just have to accept many will mostly remain very conservative. this isn't just in the US but rural small town areas without much diversity in other parts of the world also. those who are liberal are more likely to leave also which means the area will lose that liberal voice.
i was just thinking about how almost everyone i know who grew up in these conservative areas and no longer live there are liberal. what if these people had stayed in their home towns ?
what if the Clintons went back to arkansas and hillary decided to run for senate from arkansas ?
