[quote=Anonymous][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]

You actually know many secret Trump voters. There are lots of us. It’s how the polls got things so wrong. I voted for Trump and no one who knows me would ever guess it. not even my husband knows. And in case your wondering what drove me over the edge, the left has just gotten too extreme. I wish I had a better choice but I don’t regret my vote. [/quote]
