Within the next 1-2 years, I am planning on moving.
But it seems the types of places I like, cities, are generally run by mentally ill liberals. I'm not opposed to moving to a rural area, I understand I'd probably have to compromise on a mix between city convenience and rural small town. Which I'm okay with.
However the one thing I don't want to compromise on is ideology. I've lived near liberals my entire life pretty much, and it's become insufferable. Having to deal with leftism 10-16 hours a day, everyday, is tiring. I just want a break lol.
So what are the best cities to live in, but heavily conservative? And by heavy, I mean, not 55% voted Trump in 2016, I'm thinking like 70-80%+ voted Trump.
Any help will be greatly appreciated!
Boise, ID is nice. Orem/Provo, UT qualifies. Those are the only two that I know for sure fit your criteria.
Unfortunately Provo no longer fits. It would have been a great spot some years ago. But Mormonism has recently seen a slight shift towards Social Justice, and one reason for that I think has been the church embracing values from Silicon Valley in an attempt to modernize.
It started in Lehi, and has made its way South to Orem and Provo. I used to live in Utah, and Provo has been all too eager to buy into the "startup" life style, which has brought an influx of non Conservatives to the area.
This shift has also attracted many big silicon valley companies to that area of Utah, and their ideology has been slowly, very slowly, been infecting the locals who get work there.
It's hard to explain, but I actually think Mormonism may be susceptible to becoming a liberal religion. Like how the upper echelons of Catholicism is, the only difference is Mormonism is still so centralized and influenced by upper church leadership, it can trickle down to actual members, which doesn't really happen in a grand scale in Catholicism.
Sorry I could talk for ages about Mormons and Utah lol
But I will look into Boise! I do not know anything about it!
A lot of Mormons, as well as the Catholic Church, are big supporters of mass immigration and refuse to think realistically about the largely negative impact it has on the prospects for native born Americans. Immigration is a big part of why some of them are Never Trumpers.
Another good point! It's really a shame, because Mormons are a great people, with good intentions, but they are way to idealistic and naive.
I can't think of any cities that voted like 70-80% Trump but if there were they had to have been overwhelmingly white and probably in the south or midwest. I guess there must be some suburbs that fit the bill. Here you go. None of these cities are all that big though: https://www.cheatsheet.com/culture/cities-live-love-donald-trump.html/
Gatlinburg, TN. Now that is Trump country! And a beautiful part of the country as well.
