I am a straight white male conservative who works in a government office in the heart of downtown Detroit, I have no peers.
You must feel like an awfully lonely soul. That sounds almost creepy.
Having worked in government for too many years, I think you could have stated you were a conservative working in a government office and made your point that you have no peers. I spent most election seasons nodding politely while others went on and on about the terrible conservatives and the wonderful liberals just to keep peace in the workplace. After a couple early comments, I learned that tolerance for others’ opinions was strictly one way.
