Curt,
I suspect the poll actually could very well be right on target “nation wide”. Naturally, in some areas of the country where this nonsense about schools teaching kindergarten kids to hate themselves (CRT) or ‘grooming them” to be gay or trans or whatever, is a very scary hot button issue ‘for them’, and if you live in one of those areas it’s would probably be hard to imagine that there are people who live elsewhere (in Maine nonnative folks are said to be “from away” ) who can see things very differently and can see such nonsense for what it is.
I lived in VA for ten years (the Roanoke area), NC for 17 yeas and in FL, so I am well aware of the culture that influences and fortifies that kind of fear and anger that Hate talks about in so many of the folks who live there.
It was refreshing to move back home to New England where the political climate is very different and it helped to clear the cobwebs out of my head that were beginning to make me forget that folks from “the rest of the country” do necessarily not see things the way they do where I was living.
