The ones you are closest to/are most sane you should come out to. They may not like it, they may get upset, but no more pretending everything is fine. Conservatives being "too polite" to not even defend their views helps sell the narrative that we're bad people. If we just said "no." for the past 30 years we wouldn't be painted the way we are. Trust your judgment on who around you isn't a lunatic (sadly not so easy these days) and let er' rip. Be nice, but be firm. Who knows, you might wake some one up just in time to party.
25% or more Democrats will lie to friends and family and secretly vote Trump. Why? Because it's just not possible for all of them to stomach the embarrassing choices their party is making. I would be mortified and disassociate myself as fast as I could. Privately if I had too. Then go vote for Donald J. Trump. Again!! TDS is so severe it is breaking up families. Keep the peace. Family is supposed to last. Then go vote your conscience. Everybody happy.
I hate to break it to you, but if you want my respect, you gotta take the same whippings I took. For all I know, you were one of the people bashing us, if only to keep from losing your friends - but, we don't do the Frothing Mad Hate shit over here in America, so you're forgiven for your past silence. Presently, however, I advise you to "come out", since being a closeted freedom-lover makes absolutely no sense at all. You can't be both of those things. Be open about it - somebody tells you they don't like it, smile at them and say you're sorry they feel that way.
People like people who stand up for what's fucking right, I promise you. When I did it, I lost hundreds of "friends" and gained a gorgeous young wife and a little boy. Fuck these demons. Come out and join your fellow Americans on the frontline.
Don't be. Be vocal. If things get heated, change the topic or walk away. I never engage in angry debates. It never accomplishes anything. Spoon feed them facts, and leave it at that. You'll find that the topics will always change when you make your point. Demand they focus on one issue, or walk away. Also, you'll never have to bring up politics, because they will ALWAYS let it slip that they want your feedback.
Being wishy-washy about leftist positions works well. Just say you need to think about it. A lot of things that have been done, like ObamaCare had disastrous unintended consequences. Defunding cops will lead us back to mafia and street gang control, etc.
There are way more than you think and you’re not alone! If you want to slowly redpill those around you, use the Fox News approach (pretend to be one thing while actually being an opposition mouthpiece for the other side).
For example, say; “Oh my gosh! I can’t believe how racist those people on thedonald.win are! People are being massacred by cops and all they can say is (in mocking voice) ‘oh boo hoo, so cops ONLY shot 9 unarmed black men while blacks killed over 7000 of their own people last year!!!’ Geez, can you believe how absolutely disgusting they are???”
Same here. I started turning away from the Democrats in 2017 and now some friends and family know how much I despise the Dems and they get it.
There are a lot.
It's ok to be a keyboard warrior to help the cause. GEOTUS appreciates you.

I wonder if enough of us come out that the left will throw us a Trump Pride parade.

Someone should make a “Silent Majority 2020” bumper sticker
All you can do is be real to yourself and to others. If they don't accept, at least you respect yourself.

It works better than you might think!
