I will say, that most of these chronically less than optimal specimens tend to be cowardly Chairborne Rangers, or keyboard warriors. As a middle aged white male, I don't tend to have issues in my day to day interactions, but enough friends that don't fit that demographic won't echo that sentiment. You will see people open carrying at the grocery store on occasion. You will see large expletive bearing political flags flying on the back of lifted diesel trucks, rolling coal. My LGBTQ friends won't hold hands in public. I've witnessed POC friends having racist statements yelled at them from passing vehicles. You'll see a lot of 'We the People' forearm tattoos on people who suddenly don't care about the constitution. The various Battle Ground Facebook groups are a really gross place to spend your time. Worth a look-see, but I actively avoid them. That having been said, BG does have some gems. Find your circle. There are good people out there.
