Greensboro and Guilford County are also starting an indoor mask mandate this week.

I guess you can be trans and still be conservative about some things. Have you looked into California?

Snowflakes feel everyone is special in their own way, and a professionally competitive drag queen should make the same salary as a heart surgeon because nobody's role is more or less important, and if that doesn't happen it's an example of bullying.
Odd take from a self-proclaimed liberal.

Snowflake was started as a derogatory term from the far-right towards liberals who they took as whiny and wanting everything handed to them.

Yet if there's anything the last couple years have taught us, it's the far right that actually fit that description. The term hasn't been "hijacked". It's been reframed for accuracy.

Frankly, the snowflakes are on the far end of both sides of the political spectrum.

I would consider Charlotte or Atlanta, but apparently the OP has an aversion to the larger cities.

I just think some things are overkill and the far left needs to also quit their crap. Everyone should be moderate. And whats sad is, I feel like the only one who is.



I once lived in FL, believe me I would go back in an instant, its just going to be harder this time because its a longer drive and all my stuff is going to be out in the open in the back of my truck. But ya no question I'd love that. And no not every business will force people to wear masks. They will not. I don't care if its Raleigh, Durham or wherever.



I hate when people make it like its the norm or should be the norm that BLM signs and face coverings are the way. Its like they're trying to sell something. These people aren't true progressives either. I am much more true progressive than ANY of them.

Charlotte then. Thats now starting to be looked at. I started posting Ads for Charlotte a few hours ago.


I just don't want where I go next to be another Portland, and I will be fine. That is my biggest phobia. Once a place becomes Portland, its all over. I thought Durham was doing that but didn't think Raleigh would. A huge small town that thinks far left I don't want. If Raleigh is in fact on pace to mirror Portland within 3 years then yea, I won't want to go to be honest. Plus I had a friend around there, I am now not talking to her so ya it might just naturally be crossing itself off the list.


And also, I have zero desire to shop at places like Trader Joes or Earth Fare. It just doesn't have the same draw with me that it used to when I was younger. so if I outgrew all that then yea, maybe its not a good fit in the Triangle area.


I haven't seen a lot of recommendations for Greensboro and the listings are lower so I will definitely skip on that place now. Charlotte it is or Florida 2nd or if I get lucky, Stay in Columbia.

Exactly. Snowflakes are on both sides. Those who complain and don't want LGBT+ people in their backyard/neighborhood are simply, Snowflakes. They can whine and moan and scream and shout all they want.

If you are offended by someone simply living next to you or someone who isn't like you enters you community, you are a snowflake.
