[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I guess I will eat my words on the very small chance this turns out to be true, but you people are really deluding yourselves if you think there is this huge underground trump movement.  Lying to pollsters for fun or whatever you imagine is going on.

And I truly don't get how anyone is so insecure in their choice that they will go to such lengths to hide it.  If so, maybe it isn't the right choice?

There are plenty, I'm sure.

But there's a difference between hiding your belief b/c you're embarrassed by it or hiding it out of fear.   Liberals can be very arrogant b/c most claim they're highly educated. Education and open-mindedness don't always go hand-in-hand.

Fear of what?  Having to defend your opinion/decision?[/quote]
Not the PP, but I wouldn't call it "fear" exactly. It's more like not wanting to have to put up with being verbally attacked. And as far as defending my position, why should I have to? I know it's useless when I'm up against a rude, hostile Democrat, so I see no advantage in being sucked into a nasty argument. [/quote]

I agree with your take on this. 
I’ll use my sister as an example.  She is a liberal, I am not.  On the rare occasion that we discuss politics, she has no intention of hearing my views and positions.  She approaches our “conversations” as only an opportunity to convince me that she is right.  As a result, there really is no conversation.  She simply doesn’t listen to my views, but instead, attacks, changes the argument, and becomes quite incensed that I don’t agree with her.  It is just not worth having these confrontations.  We don’t agree on policy or methods to achieve a stated goal.
I love her, but I will not talk politics with her.  [/quote]

Same here. Every time I am trying to listen to liberals views about their politics, for some reason this phrase comes to my mind: do not throw your pearls to pigs. I just recently moved to the country and really ready to listen to both sides, but for some reason all liberals arguments are one-sided.[/quote]

I am fairly progressive. Mine is the opposite of your experience. I have a few republican relatives, neighbors and friends who simply won't listen to me at all. I am simply naive, stupid and unpatriotic because I don't support monitoring muslim citizens or don't worry about the browning of America. They can't believe that Muslim citizens are statistically much lower chance of comitting mass murders than a white man with a gun. Or that America has grown so much due to contributions from Asian Americans, hispanic, muslim, jewish, black Americans as much as white Americans. But they somehow feel whites are better.
