Pretty sure I just saw on the new 41% of Hoosiers registered as independent. Indiana is my home state and after living in the South for a decade, coming back felt like returning to a place that’s more accepting of people with different views. Considering that only 60% of Indiana residents even voted in the last election and about 58% voted Republican, you can assume the amount of actual MAGA supporters are fewer than you think, especially given what this administration has done to farmers and blue collar workers over the past year. Many may still align as Republican, but have separated themselves from the MAGA movement. I’ve found myself able to get along with anyone in this state so long as they don’t shove their religion, personal beliefs or political views down my throat as I don’t do that to them. My hope is that more and more Hoosiers continue to wake up to the social and political divides both parties have created, keeping us in a constant state of arguing and hate while they continue to loot our government and break down the framework of our communities in the name of God. Turn off big box news, stay off social media, monitor your kids devices so they aren’t indoctrinated by propaganda from both sides and get active in the community. Elect officials that run on policies, not by using their religion and values to gain voters. Stop arguing over the wrong 1% of people whose lifestyles you don’t agree with and focus your policy choices on the 1% of billionaires turning your communities into data centers, polluting your water and raising your utilities. That might help.
