I do live in a blue county in a red state, but for a blue county, it is still backasswards and overly Bible Belt, preachy, homophobic, etc. Yes, it is very depressing. I'm just glad for the internet. It has helped me meet people who do not think like these assholes where I live. Oddly enough, I have met people who live in my own hometown through the internet. So, there are more of us here who do think differently than the typical busybody right wing jerks around us. Usually, though, in rural towns like mine in red states, it is hard for progressives/liberals to find each other. It takes patience and even after you have found others in your area who are not so right wing, it is still very frustrating to still know you are surrounded by right wing jerks who will never change their mentality.
