I hate my country, but I love my city. It's an issue of the federal government not aligning with the local one, and moving will only separate me from an environment I enjoy. The local government provides protections from the federal on the issues I disagree with, and ultimately I am not very affected by what the federal government does - I simply disagree with it because I think it is dehumanizing and stripping away the rights of others.
