I was curious how common it is to be, say, a leftist in a very conservative area.
My county, family, and school are all very conservative. It makes it a bit intimidating to engage in any political discussion. I also rarely get to hear leftist opinion anywhere in person, which means i need to devote a lot of time to considering and thinking about arguments that are probably already solved.
Are you, or have you been, in a similar situation?
I’m in a very red part of a purple-trending-blue state. The people immediately around me are mostly conservative. I’m much closer to an anarchist in my personal beliefs than anything else.
The people at the church I attend–Unitarian Universalist, because there aren’t any Satanists near me–are mostly old hippies. The people I work directly with are mostly marginalized people. So the people I have the most contact with are definitely on the left side of the political spectrum. OTOH, I’m spoken with someone in another dept. at my work place that’s a genuine Nazi apologist, and claims that they only murdered Jews because the Allies waged war against them.
report the nazi to HR please
