[quote=Anonymous]Out of pure curiosity, as I live in the bubbliest of left wing bubbles (Silver Spring). I do not personally know a single Trump voter in this area (who has knowingly disclosed it), and only a handful of people who voted for Gary Johnson and have tepid relations with Democratic candidates. Eyeballing some of the 2016 results, about 3% of DC, 19% of MoCo, and 4-10% of Silver Spring (varies by precinct) voted for Trump. So, a clear minority, but still a high number considering the high population.

If you voted for Trump, and continue to support him/plan on doing so in 2020, what is your social experience in this very blue metro area? Which thing applies to you?

A. I'm rather apolitical and/or I don't bring up politics when I'm out and about.
B. I live in one of the relatively more conservative areas of the metro area and my views more or less reflect those around me, or are less of a minority.
C. Most people around me are probably liberal but I have found and gotten to know and associate with other Trump supporters near me.
D. I have friends and family of known mixed political affiliations and we laugh about it.
E. I have friends and family of known mixed political affiliations and we argue about it.
F. I'm surrounded by far-left liberal loons and I hate it.
G. Most people around me disagree with me and I don't care.

Again, this is not necessarily Republicans or Hogan voters, but Trump voters specifically. And I'm not trying to troll here, I am genuinely curious about political polarization and would be equally curious about a hardcore leftist/liberal on the Eastern Shore or southwestern VA. [/quote]
