What it’s like working with narrow-minded conservatives

I grew up in a narrow-minded conservative town, and yet I didn’t become one. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not liberal, I’m not even that much of a political person. Conservatives have an interesting view of the world. They see everything as black and white and think only of themselves…
