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?
Im in the us and one side is so ludicrous I can’t even pretend its legitimate. So I have discourse with various levels of left and center and im old enough to remember some semblence of conservative philosophy when it had some legitamacy but you don’t encounter it anymore. I mean the blatant violation of our founding document is just not something to be debated on if its ok to do.
