I live alone, and after so many failures in the relationship sector, I found it less traumatic to just entertain in a company of one. Well, I have always had several pets.
But I do understand your situation. I live in deep red country, but it's somewhat ok because of the colleges and universities and limited diversity within 5 miles of me.

I have given up over the years of placing voting signs in my yard because the deep red people are downright mean and I am in a fairly rural section of the surrounding neighborhood. My road leads to a boat dock, so all the fishermen, boaters, and many magats on their joyrides drag their huge boats and jeeps and powerful trucks up and down at breakneck speed all the time, and especially on holidays or beautiful days that encourage outside activity. Anyway, I do not like to engage or call attention to my homestead.

WE are almost at the final stretch of this nightmare, although it now has picked up speed and intensity. Hang in there, blue.
Take care of yourself!
