I have never been to the bay area but from what i hear it is very liberal and left leaning. I have a somewhat right leaning views, especially regarding economy- low personal and corporate taxes, few government interventions, privatization, and pro-capitalism in general. I come from economics background and right wing usually aligns with my current, especially economic views. I obviously don't support anti-immigration and other crazy social policies of right wing. I am going to a big company in the bay area soon, and i fear that having somewhat right leaning views might not be tolerated there. How do folks deal with it? Obviously i don't discuss politics in office, but i feel like the Democratic virtue signaling might bother me. How do other right leaning folks deal with this in bay area?
I think you are confusing socialism and being liberal.
It’s more like fascism - don’t talk or we’ll punish you.
I have some friends who have worked in the bay area who will raise eyebrows and judge me when i say I don't like bernie or current democrats because of their economic policy. I feel like ill be outcast in the bay area with my views
Why does every right leaning person has to be "roasted"? Is freedom of speech dead?
Can you give some concrete actionables for improvement? How could i have phrased this question better?
Does your few government interventions extend to what we do with our genitals? Do you get offended when people say happy holidays instead of Merry Christmas?
I obviously don't support everything the republican party does. But that doesn't mean that they haven't done anything good. You instantly judging me and being hostile when i say im right leaning is exactly what i meant in this post.
I'm not judging you. Simply asking.
You started with the sentence "I have never been to the bay area but from what i hear it is very liberal and left leaning.". First suggestion - Stop listening to others and use your own brain. If you have never been somewhere you cannot possibly know the truth. Second hand information is toxic.
This is a good suggestion. I am just trying to get some perspective from fellow right wing people who have moved to the bay area
OP is conservative... cant do it.
I don't think you should worry about not offending. Left or right we all need to get to a point where we can have different views and still live on the planet together. If others can't take it, fuck em.
Amen!
I keep my mouth shut
Troll honeypot alert!!
Liberals are also liberal to others freedom of putting out their thoughts
Lol no they’re not. If you say anything they disagree with they get triggered
I think what you are talking about is not a problem about having a specific viewpoint but rather being opinionated and stubborn, who are the kind of people to be kept at bay.

Who are these unruly Modi supporters in real life?
I don’t think too many ppl complain about low taxes or fundamental republican principles - most people would normally be happy to discuss this without any hang ups . They just don’t like Trump and his lies and racism .
