I live in NY. I legit only know 2 conservatives who are my 2 out of 4 best friends. That's all. My other friends are lefties, my customers are, and so my coworkers and boss. These ppl mock conservatives and their views, most without knowing i am one.. I noticed they have no goddamn idea what I believe in. They don't actually know what I stand for, save for what the news tells them.
Something else I realized; these ppl believe so deeply in their views and how virtuous they are. They so fully believe that they're right, and that their ideas are inherently righteous. If you disagree you must be wrong. Some ppl if u disagree just turn to violence.
I guess the point is, all this leftist influence makes me have to ground myself in reality. It makes me think if all these ppl believe this how can they be right? There's no one on my side, no one thinks the way I do. It makes me a bit sad to see it. I have to remember to ground in reality, and remember what i know to be true: That there are millions of ppl in this country, amd even all over the world who stand with me.
Same here, I live in SF, almost all my friends, family, coworkers are brainwashed Libs. I have exactly 3 conservative friends I can share politics with, but all are very far away. Every day I have to check and double check to make sure I'm not the crazy one here, and I will do a deep and pragmatic look at whatever situation and conclude I am right... but I sure have to check often. The only consolation I have is the belief that if Liberals actually looked into the facts and evidence... just read beyond the hyperbolic headline, I am convinced they would almost always see things my way. For instance I don't believe most Libs want open borders. I don't believe most Libs want to date trans, or see them screw over women's sports. I don't believe Libs want to see needles handed out, or homeless encampments on every sidewalk. I think they vote for these policies because of team sports and the social punishment you receive from asking questions, because they are weak-minded and remain child-like in adulthood.
