[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]“People with different political beliefs are unsettling to me.” So you’re the fascist trying to control your neighborhood streets, cool. Real head-scratcher why you don’t fit in anywhere. [/quote]

I'm not OP, but I don't think it's about politics.  It's about a more traditional, small-c conservative community that revolves around the nuclear family and sports and school politics. They probably mostly vote the same, but those are not OP's people - she is a single mom and an opinionated social justice activist.

OP, Takoma Park seems like the obvious choice for you.[/quote]

Well, I’m a conservative living in Takoma Park.  I love it.  I recognize where most people are coming from, but almost everyone is really nice and I’ve made great friends.  Maybe just take a step back.  You can agree to disagree.[/quote]

I'm pretty traditional, conservative on some issues, and live in TKPK, and love it, too.[b] I have plenty of open and honest discussions on all sorts of issues.[/b] I don't think OP's "I don't care if I rock the boat" attitude is going to be socially successful anywhere.[/quote]

But that is the point, right? OP wants to have these open and honest conversations. Her neighbors don't want that.  That is why TKPK would be a better fit.  Not because it has no conservatives, but because it's less conformist allowing people with a variety of viewpoints to feel comfortable[/quote]

When I go walking with other moms they often talk about their conservative or liberal views related to their life, but it is expected that you nod your head in agreement. Sometimes you'll get a mom that homeschools along with a mom of a transgender kid along with a mom with a TJ kid. Less discussion on issues, but all ways of living are pretty much accepted in the town. Maybe in TKPK there is more discussion.[/quote]
