I know we're probably just a few years behind, but the other thing is just the in your face politics everywhere.
You cross the border from BC into Idaho, and suddenly there are massive proper billboards and private signs all over the place that are just plain aggressive in letting you know that if you don't agree, you aren't welcome. I found it really uncomfortable.
The same crap is definitely creeping in here, and now political bumper stickers etc. are all over the place, and I wish it would go away. It's ok for neighbours to have different views, we don't have to align on teams and arbitrarily hate each other.
