You said the quiet part out loud.

As opposed to what? "I'm looking for a quiet, safe neighborhood with excellent schools?" That request is ubiquitous around DCUM, and anyone who's taken a sociology 101 class knows exactly what it means, yet somehow it doesn't get the wrath that a post like this does...

OP, what do you mean by conservative? Voted Republican? All teens wear promise tings? Evangelicals? Anti-immigration?

I am in close in Bethesda, it’s all limousine liberals - UMC folks. Some of the fiersest NIMBYs I’ve ever come across. Some with kids in private schools, with piano lessons at home, multiple luxury vehicles in the driveways, cleaning/gardening/house maintenance outsourced, many with country club memberships.

So unless you are ultra-religious, they are just like you, but believe in climate change and dont oppose single sex marriages. Not too scary, really.

This. Especially if you buy a more expensive house, or send your kid to the local Catholic school.

My dh and I had to step in when we saw a bunch of teenage boys bullying a scared looking Asian girl outside the library one day. She was glad to see us. The boys learn it from their parents, still had their Good Counsel uniforms on.

The bethesda church communities are so “conservative” they donate the collections to illegal immigrant caravans’ medical and food supplies, plus house/protect deportees in the church 24/7. The future is bright.

It’s called “being a Christian”. WWJD? He would have helped out the poor, the downtrodden and refugees.

Sorry these churches aren’t preaching some prosperity gospel bs that puts making money above all else.

Try being a decent human being, you’ll like yourself more.

My friend lives in what is considered to be a very moderate NOVA neighborhood.

My friend is religious and conservative, but fun and well liked. Her neighbors all socialized with her family all the time.

She did not vote for Trump (and didn't discuss the election with anyone in her neighborhood.

After Hillary lost, over half of her neighbors stopped speaking to her, stopped letting their kids play with her kids, and stopped including her for neighborhood functions. They did not know who her family voted for, just that it was probably not Hillary, and that was enough for her once friends and very friendly neighbors to completely cut her off. They did they same to the handful of other conservative neighbors, basically any of the people who were jot crying on Wednesday morning. It was and is insane how crazy and intollerant these people are.

Thanks for that storytime narrative. It was very entertaining. Your friend probably is a d*ck

It needs a little more oomph. Maybe the cutoff conservative friend's cat was lost and died under the neighbor's porch but no one wanted to tell her?

I live in Olney and don’t find it to be the white/conservative place described above. My children’s schools are diverse and there are definitely a mix of political beliefs.

We will check out Kensington and Darenstown(many of our friends live up there from privates). Our budget is $800-$1.5 mill. What part of silver spring is 4 corners?

Four Corners is where Montgomery Blair HS is. I live nearby, but wouldn't call it a conservative area.

4 corners isn't for you, OP. We moved here instead of Falls Church or FFX County because the politics/families were more diverse.

Anyone care to talk about dense concentrations of Orthodox Jews in certain Rockville and Silver Spring neighborhoods? I’m of the understanding that substantiall %-ages in these areas are politically conservative.

I forget where I saw this but after an election I saw the results on how Olney voted and it was split very evenly. Not quite 50-50 but a good diverse mix.

Why just you move to Alabama and be done with it, OP? THOSE are YOUR PEOPLE.
