There is a huge gap between liberals and Trump supporters.  While Montgomery County tends to  lean left, there are moderates and conservatives who while they may not espouse the popular liberal positions, don't support Trump either.  The problem I've had (even before Trump) is that with most of the MC county liberals "operating with good faith", if you don't automatically agree with the liberal position you are "(i) stupid/racist, or (ii) greedy, or (iii) both".  I thought liberals were supposed to be open minded, but never have I encountered such rabid intolerance of differences than I've encountered from the liberals in Montgomery County.

Personally, I tend to be politically conservative but am a registered independent.  While I think that liberal political correctness can be nuts, and disagree with Democrats on significant issues, I also think that Republicans have been wrong on several significant issues including the environment/climate change, gun control, health care, and the need to do something about the cost of higher education.

Trump, and the current Republican party, I in no way support.  More than opposing their individual policies, I think they are inflicting damage to the instititions of the Presidency and the Congress.  I think the Democrats, on the other hand, are at fault for letting them do it.  Trump should have been impeached already.  Waiting for poll numbers to spontaneously turn against Trump, they are shirking their constitutional responsibilities and compromising the power of impeachment.[/quote]
