Stay away

I moved here awhile back for a job and I regret it everyday. Thankfully, I'm moving away soon. This town is so conservative and xenophobic it consistently leaves me amazed. I have lived many places in my life, mostly small-sized cities, and I have never felt more uneasy anywhere. If you are not a Christian, a Republican or someone who thinks McDonalds is the best thing on the planet, then you probably won't fit in here. There has been outright hostility to me voicing some of my rather tame liberal views. I have never been treated like that.
And you would think, given there is a small University here, that there would be at least some sort of attempt to host some events that raise cultural awareness. Nope. Nightlife? Nope, unless you count a couple worthless bars. In fact, the one and only time my wife and I went into one of these places some drunk meathead grabbed her butt within 5 minutes. I am not kidding.
On the other hand, if you are a conservative, and you dislike people who are not White and Christian than this might be a good place for you.
