I wouldn’t get shot for anything I wear, but even here it’s best to keep quiet about politics. We need business from everyone, not just like minded people.

I went to college in a close suburb of St. Paul. I learned that I could live in the metro area if I had to, but I’m definitely a small town gal. Funny though, we moved to a new town a couple of years ago and it’s been harder to meet people here than other places I’ve lived. We like it, but some small towns are slow to accept new people. I’d heard that about my hometown , but my mom’s family had been there for generations. Shoe is on the other foot here!

“I’d probably be shot for wearing my maga hat. I even hid it in my closet because you never know which guest might go in there.”

i’m still shocked that i can talk about being conservative in public and that other people do too. And MAGA bumper stickers and clothing are proudly displayed. i’ve been here 3 years! The decades of bullying and attempts at brainwashing obviously took their toll on me. I keep forgetting i really am free here, lol

What i’ve noticed also is liberals here are also free to have their own opinions. People might argue with them but they don’t scratch their cars or egg their houses. Conservatives are respectful while liberals in California were truly fascist bullies. My liberal yankee neighbor even yelled at me for not being a socialist When I told her we decided not to pay into Social Security anymore because it was heavily socialized, we would pay in hundreds of thousands and get nothing back. She actually yelled at me. So I made sure everyone else in the holler knew about it, and now she is pretty much ostracized. Liberals don’t even allow us to have our own opinions!

So NSM i agree, If you have to deal with liberals in your business it is better to keep quiet. They would go out of their way to financially hurt you, or even deface your property.
