I do this. I call this urban camouflage. Find a band or sports team to "get excited about" (sport a jersey or some retro T shirts). Then find a hobby that you enjoy. Doesn't matter the subject it could be craft beer, camping, fishing, (try to avoid guns or hunting openly), shooting pool, going to the beach...whatever. Being a "foodie" is a good one gets you in contact with lots of small business owners and most of them are MAGA these days.

Then you focus in on those two subjects with all normies and leftists. If you use social fill your feed with them. (Favorite team Favorite hobby) When confronted play dumb say you don't follow the news then circle back to either the team or the hobby. It works like a charm.
