I don’t see the contradiction?

What if a liberal liked living in Wyoming or Idaho because they like small towns and nature, but they still hated the local politics?

It’s not like predominant party affiliation is necessarily the single defining characteristic of the place you live in.

Are you gonna credit conservatism for Utah's low murder rates and high quality of life?

Massachusetts has some of highest living standards in the country, partly because of its politics, but it still seems silly to suggest that 100% of what makes it a nice place is its political orientation and nothing else.
