Politics and religion
Don’t think you can forever hide your own political or religious beliefs and live peacefully as a blue minority in a red state/county/town. Or vice versa.
It would be beautiful to think so, but after keeping quiet during a few years’ worth of social occasions, you will inevitably explode and throw a glass of something in someone’s face and then face months of awkward meetings in the produce section of the grocery store. Take this advice to heart. Please.
Finally, all of the above is simply another way of saying “Know thyself.” Or don’t lie to thyself.
In my little town, so unlike so much of my life experience, I’ve become much more practiced at self-appraisal—and compromise. I’ve figured out how to avoid certain civic groups without incident. I’ve learned why I don’t want to join the country club but am pleased as punch to be in the church choir. I’ve learned when to express a political preference—and when not to.
I even took advantage of all the free time available in a small town to publish a book about my oddball retirement. And the neighbors are still speaking to me. There is, after all, still something to be said for Southern hospitality.
D. B. Tipmore is the author of “My Little Town: A pilgrim’s portrait of a uniquely southern place” and has recently retired in southern Alabama. So far, his degree of assimilation includes owning a bush hog and making a mean spaghetti casserole.
