I get that. Its just sad that politics ranks high enough in his value set to dictate his life. I feel bad for him. Wish he could unplug from clownworld and just live his life.

It was probably a lot more complicated than just politics on their own tbf. Ppl don’t want to raise families in communities hostile toward them and their beliefs.
For some people, but in this case I can tell you it wasn't.
Quite the opposite of raising a family, he left his family all here to get away. Left his kids, grandkids, siblings, etc.
I'm not sure why you assume we're hostile. Maybe he felt that way, but if so, thats only because we didn't engage with his tirades about different political agendas. Otherwise I feel like we all had a pretty friendly relationship, and his move caught us by surprise.
I hear you though. Maybe he's just using politics as a cover, and there's some deeper dislike of us all (including his family) that drove him to leave... pretty sure its just politics though.
