Because antifa members will roll you in the street with a bat.

Someone asks you about Politics just Smile and walk away

[RayChuang88]

Tell that to the dead 24-year mother who openly said "All Lives Matter."

People are afraid to wear a red ball cap.

Notably, self-censorship is not a partisan issue. Majorities of Democrats (52 percent), Independents (59 percent), and Republicans (77 percent) all agree they have political views they are afraid to share.

YES it is, look at the percentages. The Democrats do not respect diversity of thought and are political bullies, everything these hypocrites boast they are not.

[Ouchthatonehurt]

Because the left has far too many sociopaths.

So don’t talk politics. Talk about concepts. Talk about Liberty.

Democrats are worried? BS. They are the most vocal, most strident of all and are never afraid to put it out there. I’ve been offended so many times by them at work, but never once did I think about going to HR to complain about a “hostile work environment” because I knew HR was full of extreme lefties and they would fire ME for complaining.

My sister teaches math to middle school kids. At a “back to school” meeting this week, the administrators asked “What did you learn in 2020?” One typical lib said “I learned that Trump will never make America great.” My sister was deeply offended and upset, but she can’t say a word.

Most Americans Are Scared Stiff To Talk Politics. Why?

[GSWarrior]

I’m scared I will go off on someone and have to make an amends.

[real saxophonist]

I’m not ‘scared’ to. I just know there’s no point in bothering.

[heterosupremacist]

I have been a Trump supporter since he announced his candidacy and don't ever hide that fact, but I don't like to talk politics with imbeciles. I don't fear recriminations from the Left, but I no longer try to reason with them. So in that sense, one might say I'm 'afraid' to talk politics. TRUMP 2020 🇺🇸

[oil_dude]

But only Conservatives lose their job or their life for being a Trump supporter

[Pajamajan]

Seriously? Stupid question.

Captain Obvious says because only one side is "allowed" to speak.

See: Cancel culture. (Otherwise known as Soviet Union era censorship)

[Joe Boucher]

Put a Trump sticker on your vehicle and get it vandalized?

[rightwingintelligentsia]

The 2016 election turned some of my former friends and acquaintances into raving, TDS-suffering lunatics. The very mention of Trump’s name elicits torrents of rage and anger. So I’m very cautious about discussing anything political.

The other day, my boyfriend wasn’t as cautious when talking to my next door neighbor. The predictable reaction ensued, and I had to drag him back into the house.

[spincaster]

Well i’m not . In my State i can carry concealed and i have for 37 years. Never needed to unholster my sidearm . I practice frequently and i’m always alert to my surroundings
That being said, i love Donald Trump as you can tell by my 30” x 90” banner on my barn. “F” those commies!!!! Come and get some!

I think using the term “find it offensive” disguises the real reason which is “might attack them”. And the word attack is used in the literal sense as well as the more abstract and figurative sense.
