Have you ever lived anywhere else besides where you live now?

Have you ever lived anywhere else besides where you live now?
So this morning on NPR there was some talk about how people who never move away from where they grew up tend to be more politically conservative .. even more likely to have supported Trump.  (I personally don't think old school conservatives would want anything to do with him.  Hard to tell what motivates today's republicans though.)

I'm kind of curious if that is true here.  For Khem's sake I should probably make a poll.  He loves those things.  Usually I like to make them public but since some conservatives seem to feel oppressed here, I won't this time.  So if you'd like to let everyone know where you stand, you'll probably have to leave a comment.

The question will be in two parts so there'll be a variety of responses available.  Of course if none of them fit please feel free to describe your own situation in a post.  Also, just one answer choice per customer this time and if you're looking for "fuck all polls" you'll have to write that yourself in a post too.   Tongue

Question:  Have you always or nearly always lived in the same place you grew up and, if so, do you identify as politically conservative?

Off the rack response choices:

1 - Yes but I'm pretty liberal/progressive politically.

2 - Yes but I'm more centrist or unallied politically.

3 - Yes and I do lean toward conservative politically.

4 - No but I do identify as conservative politically.

5 - No but I'm more centrist or unallied politically.

6 - No and I am pretty liberal/progressive politically.

So I chose the last option. I've moved a lot, though I don't know if being a navy brat is typically the kind of moving likely to result in being liberal/progressive. But I am.

The radio program also mentioned that going to college and moving in order to pursue a career would tend to correlate with being liberal/progressive. I did attend college but I didn't actually move anywhere as a result; being an educator is something you can do anywhere.

Also, I live in a liberal/progressive bastion.
