How did you feel being in a place full of your opposing party?

[Anonymous]

So I moved to a very conservative area because my older brother lives there. I’ve been going to school, and sometimes I feel awkward and would face harassment if I said I leaned more towards the left. I don’t believe Joe Biden is a good president, and god no, I think Trump is worse. Anyways, I already got accused for voting for Joe Biden, and they were aggressive. Like angrily shouting. I just told them I didn’t vote at all because they’re not good people. They bully each other from anything from your clothes to what you drive. But since, living there, they have changed my prospective on why people vote Republican. Like I know this guy who said he used to be a democrat, but since he moved to this area, he’s very republican. And by the sound of his views, I say he was always a Republican, but he just didn’t know it at the time. First of all, he’s Mexican American, just like me, but he calls himself “American.” And doesn’t know Spanish. On the other hand, I’m fluent, and consider myself Mexican American because that’s what it says on the census and every other form to identify you race/ethnicity. I feel like he’s ashamed of having Mexican roots, honestly. I just think it’s sad, but you do you. And I’ve been hearing false accusations. They say democratic areas are full of people who care about themselves, and full of crime. And I’m that area, there’s nice people. Yet in that area, less people live there, and my friend who’s a cop says he has to pull a gun out every single day on the job. And crime is just as bad. I feel like these people have never lived in a democratic majority place long enough to see that there’s crime literally everywhere in the United States.

Anyways, I have met nice republicans, and I consider some of them my friends. And I have considered dating conservative girls. I believe it shouldn’t matter what someone believes in as long as they’re good people, I’ll be their friends. Kind of how gay people should be treated without discrimination, or harassment. I don’t like that people block each other just because they have a political party preference.

The Hispanic and Asians, no matter what the Left think, are primarily Consetvative. Now the c
bstch that Biden has let in are likely not and will vote for Government candidates. The Mexicans from Reagan, Clinton Bushes even Obama are Family and Better Life People. They started pulling weeds and know their kids are the electricians, plumbers, painters, and heating/air vendors‼️

I’m a first responder, my family means the world to me. I ditched people because of family. You can be anything from either party. What are you trying to say?

[Guy13]

What I am actually saying is”folks from Camobodia can’t speak English 10 years later buying a house. Hispanics that came over in 1980 forward for better life, and the Like are mostly Conservative. Democrats do not like to believe this.
—I’ve lived it in one of my businesses. It’s great to watch people, generationally, live the American Dream‼️ Let me put it to you this way.
—Couple of them confided to me that my parents were positive Source. NOW, their kids who went from “lawn/farm” helper to Business owner doing plumbing at 150.00 hourly…THEY give me Hope even with Biden who hates this country…
—They LOVE this country and Capitalism coming from Chavez and Honduras. They give me hope BECAUSE all that of them that I know are Conservative.
—And the damn Leftist have no clue why…except for the batch Biden has been flying in. This is NOT my opinion.. this is the opinion of ALL the Hispanics that I know…. They are Value Voters and NUMBER 1 is pro-family and ANTI-ABORTION.
—My relationships with SE Asians and South Americans bless me as they are mostly Conservative voter.

At this point, anyone that still supports the democrat party are very immoral, hypocritical, and downright evil.

I live in California and conservatives have to be careful with revealing their opinions or they get sabotaged at work. Democrat run cities are the worst for crime by far statistically most of the time.
Your friend saying he is American and not Mexican American is actually accurate if he was born in the USA. Mexican is a nationality, it is NOT a race. Most people that claim they are Mexican are actually Spanish and one of the Native American tribes mixed. If they were born in the USA they are not Mexican American. The census is incorrect, just like it is incorrect to classify Whites as Caucasians when most Whites in the USA are actually from Anglo decent.

I work in higher ed and I am a Trump supporter. Most of the time I feel like I have a target on my back.

UK here. I would love to live with the rich folks, not least because there a big spaces between the properties.

[MountAverage]

I would never live in a predominantly conservative/reactionary area.

[Anonymous]

I wouldn't want to. be around Republicans, conservatives. They're too judgmental and won't accept different opinions.

[Agagagagaga]

Just because they don’t agree with your opinion doesn’t mean they don’t accept it. They will at least hear you out.

Leftists won’t even do that. They just want you to repeat back to you whatever they just said. Or chanted. Or screamed. Or graffitied.

And if you don’t?

You get wild accusations of racism/sexism/homophobia/transphobia/fascism/nationalism/Islamophobia/white supremacy/fat phobia/ableism. Take your goddamn pick. Sometimes I think you all just throw a dart at a board.
