NM is an interesting state, so parts of it especially here in Northern NM has a tribal mentality. Very close knit Catholic families with generations that can go all the back to the Spaniards when they were here. And those people mostly have conservative values with their daily lives. They love hunting, fishing, camping and they do love the 2A. But a lot of them vote blue, which makes no sense to me. Then you have the white liberals, that are just obnoxious and most the native hispanics I know cant stand them.
I am 1/4 hispanic so I tend to be very accepted by the native people here, but my wife being a blonde experiences a lot of racism towards her. So I would have to say, for me the people have been great, and my wife has made some really good friends here.
The further south you go, like Demming, Roswell, Las Cruces, and Ruidoso etc.. There is more of an Anglo influence and seems to be more politically conservative. Crime is really bad in parts of ABQ, but not all of it. I guess its somewhat like any other large metropolitan area right? We moved here from PHX and when we left there, crime was average, but now there seems to be more of an uptick from what we see on the local news when we go back there.
So I hate the politicians here, as I hate most of them everywhere in our country. But it seems like they have been less successful in implementing the marxist agenda like say for instance in California. Not to say it cant happen, but I dont feel the need to relocate at the moment. LOL
