Anti-Trump bias in Montgomery County

[Anonymous]

Where I come from, personal politics were a private matter and it was not polite to openly discuss. Especially with coworkers, or parents of children. If it came to that matter of a discussion then one would ASK for an opinion or where someone stands about an issue or a candidate.

Here, it's as if people just ASSUME you're against Trump. It's been like that since 2016. To be accepted into fine society you have to be liberal, politically correct, a Democrat, and against Trump. Neighbors are cliquish and don't want to hang out with you if it is known that you support Trump. Worse of all, people just casually make digs at President Trump and assume you'll go along with it. This is seen all over society whether it's schools that allow students to protest against guns but not against abortion, or casual dining room conversations where Trump is the butt of the joke or an icebreaker being like how horrible Trump is, or a small business selling "Maryland gifts" has Trump toilet paper. Do people not. get dissenting opinions, and why is it just assumed that everybody hates Trump? It's just so casually assumed that nobody could possibly support Trump and be their neighbor.

We asked a family to Bubble with us during quarantine and they declined after I finally got a Trump bumper sticker. It's disgusting.

I agree. Even in LA, people were way more open about accepting it. There were plenty of Trump supporters accepted and people just shrugged and moved on.

Anyway... some people are just unhinged. Those types are best avoided anyway

I think OP you really don't understand why people hate Trump so much. No, it's not about politics. It's because of what Trump stands for, what he supports, and the fact that you support that.

I'm an Independent, former R. My spouse is a liberal. I have voted R before. Spouse also has good friends who are R, but all but one voted for Trump, and my spouse decided to drop this friend because my spouse could not accept someone who voted for someone who supports some racist policies.

In our little mom's group I listen to anti-trump stuff all the time. I just listen. Nobody knows that I will be voting again for Trump.

They don’t like your politics. Would you like someone who wore klan robes or a swastika? For many people, trump is no better.

So stop being a big cry baby. Vote for whom you live kevand accept the consequences that people may not like you.

“Fine society”?

I moved here from St. Louis 2 years ago. In St. Louis people were allowed to have their own opinions. Here, not so. If you mention that you voted for Trump, you are dropped from the invites.

OP, do you not see the irony in your post...

Where I come from, personal politics were a private matter and it was not polite to openly discuss...they declined after I finally got a Trump bumper sticker.

That's ... disgusting. LOL

You live in the Washington DC area and are complaining about people being into politics?

You live in one of the most liberal areas of the world and are complaining that people don't accept you support the most polarizing political figures in American history?

Sweetheart, you need a better realtor.

I think people who talk about politics have sad lives.

Do I agree with Trump's rhetoric, no. But, I also feel I can't discuss the subject.

NP. Do you not know what realtors do?

I wouldn't associate with you if I knew you were a trump voter. It's not about "personal politics," it's about core values and how you view and treat others.

People here are very into politics. They care about things like emolument clauses and such. Barr had it right.. outside this area, no one cares about ethics.

But, it's not just this area. There's that thread about the secret Trump supporter living in SF.
