Your daughter is like my daughter, constantly being mistaken for a lib. When she doesn’t tell them right away, they say the darndest things. When they find out, they stop being her friend.
Actually, she’s conservative/libertarian. We don’t agree on everything, but in the important things, she is conservative.
LachlanMN, I am so glad to know it is not only in this region!! My daughter encounters the same reaction with new people. Her closest friends are much like her or at least agree to disagree.
We actually have an ongoing joke in our family that my daughter is “in the closet” as a Conservative. It’s quite funny to hear some of her stories!
