social/political vibe in cape question
I’m potentially moving to Cape Girardeau for a job and wanted to get a better feel for the area from people who actually live there.
For context, I’m a liberal person and personal freedoms are important to me, particularly things like abortion rights and marriage equality. I’m coming from the Deep South, so I’m definitely not unfamiliar with living somewhere more conservative, but I’m curious how noticeable the political/religious culture is in everyday life in Cape.
I’m also not religious and don’t love being around heavy christianity, so I’d especially love to hear from people who are liberal/left-leaning, nonreligious, LGBTQ+, or just generally not very involved in that side of things.
I’m not expecting Cape to be a liberal bubble or anything. I’m just trying to figure out whether I’d feel comfortable socially and whether these differences are something you notice in everyday life.
