Also, if you have pets that go outside, such as a dog you take for walks, you need to check them even if they are on flea and tick prevention. Ticks are more than glad to hitchhike indoors on pets and then later decide to rehome themselves onto a human.

Incorrect. There are MANY species of tick.

I have anecdotes, but no specific data or insights, I'm only speaking about my experience.

In some respects, politics is a lot like religion. Just like most Christians were raised in Christian families and most Muslims were raised in Muslim families, it seems like most Republicans were raised in conservative families while most Democrats were raised in liberal families. Obviously this isn't a 100% one-to-one correlation, and there's a lot of nuance as well as a plethora of exceptions.

As far as education, I only have my perspective of the school system I went to. Overall, I think that most of the teachers were very respectful and balanced whenever political ideology came up. As a kid I wouldn't have noticed it, but by my teens I was pretty observant. There were definitely several notable exceptions, mostly conservative teachers showing bias and attempting to influence us, unprompted. I think the most "liberal" ideology I was exposed to was the one high school teacher who strongly advocated for LGBT folks, but that was generally in reaction to students' homophobic actions or words. Overall, i would say that the education system pushed religious ideology more than political, but of course, it being the south, conservatism and Christianity are practically one in the same.

I'm a white man in a rural area in the south. Black folks who don't really know me often seem surprised when they hear me say something anti-Trump. And honestly, I understand completely.

Enjoy a burger how you want, or not, I could hardly care any less as long as you're not hurting anybody with your lifestyle choice.

Personally, I just don't like cooked pineapple very much. It's a pale imitation of fresh in both taste and texture. Pure disappointment, and I've got enough disappointment in my life already, don't need anymore on my pizza or burger or tacos or spaghetti or upside down cake or colada.

Thought you were going to say "in the butt", but then you said "In HELL." and I assume you don't refer to the butt as hell. Right?
