What are you running from? Nowhere will be safe in the end. There are no true "red" states they all have blue pockets of liberal morans, every small red town has some jerk whose trans, gay, a practicing witch or "earth mother" or a perv that wants to ruin life for everybody else.

Then, even you share values with someone, in the South they don't want you anyway because of regional bigotry. So if it's not race, location, age, or something else, they will find something about you to dislike.

people basically suck everywhere. I give highest scores to Missouri and Kansas, I'd say those are the two friendliest states I've experienced. The quality of life in Kansas in unbelievable. I'll never forget pulling off some exit west of KC and into this food bar type place. 9.99, and there was steak, crabs legs, and lobster tails on the food bar. I'll never forget it, this was somewhere near Manhattan Kansas. Families packed the place and were taking huge platefuls of the crabs legs. Gigantic luxury apartments at 700 a month were next to my Hotel which was one of the typical chains but it was new and built with a style, 100 dollar for the most luxurious enormous loft style room I've ever stayed in, and on and on.
