Lisa in Waukesha, Wisconsin, has two Facebook accounts. One reflects her liberal politics; the other is for acquaintances and family members to whom Lisa shows only her cat photos. Christina, in Milford, Massachusetts, has a sign in the back window of her car proclaiming support for a Democratic candidate. But as soon as she parks in the company lot, she puts it facedown on the backseat. Byron has lived in the same small town of Pomeroy, Iowa—population 662—his entire life. He brings his partner to family dinners but has never actually said to his conservative sister that he’s gay.
Lisa, Christina, and Byron are “blues in red states”—liberals who live in conservative communities that exist in every state, Republican or Democratic-leaning, across America. They and people like them are constantly reminded they aren’t quite like everyone else: from the churches they do or don’t attend, to their purchases and media preferences, to their loyalties at the ballot box. On a daily basis, liberals who have made homes, formed friendships, and participated in the civic life of conservative towns and cities are confronted with unsettling reminders that they’re different, and they’ve found myriad ways to take that truth in stride.

Poor babies.
Which is what they are.
I made a call. The team are on their way:
Bwahahahaha!
Whine, moan, but above all ... Suffer!
I have a flaming liberal neighbor — yard signs, dem gatherings,....slams my state rep whom I love, even ran against him....etc. I hold my tongue. She does not. Such is the double standard of a liberal.
I’ll add that I do not mind. I choose to see it as a reason to celebrate our freedom in this country. She has all the freedom that I have and only one vote just like me. Go for it, lady. Campaign your heart out. I don’t care. I just hope you lose.
This article is total crap. It’s conservatives who have to hide. Liberals are pack creatures who attack conservatives wherever they find them, and enjoy the reassurance of knowing conservatives are actually polite. Liberals have been aggressively feral for so long, this article is nothing but a blazing farce of the abusiveness liberals laugh about unleashing against even conservative family members. What an outrage - yet again. The abusers claim victim status, their oldest deceit.
House of cards, crumbling.
Blue areas in red states is where you will find most of the violent crime.
ARE YOU ####ING KIDDING ME????!!!
I worked in manhattan with 50, FIFTY liberals in the graphics dept, one libertarian, and one conservative, me.
no, the boss was an Italian American conservative.
other boss was old English blood conservative.
female boss was INSANE liberal and though Hiroshima was a war crime and her father and FIL were war criminals.
so save the crying salon!
I never backed down, and people would sometimes whisper to me in dark corners that they agreed on some things.
and many MANY told me they respected that I didn’t care about popular opinion.
When I got sick, I was flooded with support, visits, money, gifts, from the lefties.
was too sick to return, but would like to think I changed one mind, at least.
But for years, my Italian self and my Italian boss Owned that department :) made a bundle.
good old days :)
BINGO -
be as liberal as you like - except in my house.
First rule of civility (back when there used to be civil norms - When in someone else’s home, hold you tongue. I would extend that to car - unless you want to walk - we won’t be discussing politics or PC.
I won’t discuss my beliefs with libs - ‘cause Grampa taught not to pi*s into the wind - useless.

Wussconsin is already a libtard state, what the hell is the Salon writing smoking?
Cry me a river. Boo hoo...I can’t be me on Facebook.
My sis spent 20 years in and around San Fran.
Say the wrong thing and you can forget your job or contracts and be lucky to make it out with your life.
Or my ultra-conservative, former Marine, Physicist who spent a year teaching at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
First week there, someone walked by while he had
Drudge up on his computer. The growled at him..”Oh, so you’re one of THEM?”

Replace conservative with non-muslim and liberal with muslim and you are basically describing the situation in any country with between 20% and 40% muslim population....
Guess how much of the USA is liberal (hint it is between 20-40%)....

Repeated again for effect as this is a tactic we see muslims do all the bleeping time, look at europe how the rapeugees whine about being oppressed while they rape a swath across germany...
Their arguments, don’t have valid premises.
Uhmmmm,,,,Do they know that Iowa isn’t a red state? It went 60% for Obama.
“Christina, in Milford, Massachusetts, has a sign in the back window of her car proclaiming support for a Democratic candidate”
And how bold, to be a democrat in Massachusetts. And anyway, they act like they are risking attack. Funny until you realize the opposite is actually true. I defy this writer to wear a conservative T-shirt and walk through ANY blue city. Go get service, walk the streets, ride a bus. You will often be in serious danger.
Now......about the typical American College campus......
Not long ago I found an online video program which
celebrated the life of the late Mario Savio. He was
the leader of the free speech movement at Cal Berkeley in
the 1960s. Savio fought for the rights of the students to
speak their minds openly without administration
retribution. Of course he supported all left wing causes.
The program which included a presentation by his widow
didn’t dwell on his work on behalf of student’s free
speech rights. Rather, it celebrated his lefty causes. To me
the whole sham of a program was just another example
of how the left, then and now, cares only about their own
free speech. They have no problem shutting down the
free expression of their opposition.....Nazi libtards.
Sucks to be a commie.
Welcome to my world. I’ve always lived amid blue state liberal loonies as long as I could remember.
