Maybe because people usually troll post against liberals here. I doubt liberals hide behind secrecy and insult conservatives just for the heck of it.
The same reason people could publicly support Nazis and insult Jews in Germany in 1939, but people opposing that had to hide.
Right, so you are opposing liberals for just being liberals on blind because you are like those fighting the nazis. Sounds logical. :-/
I am neither overly liberal nor overly conservative. I don’t think that many people in the tech industry are near either end of the spectrum. Like personality, social and political preferences are on a continuum, and most people fall somewhere in the middle... hence why I don’t associate myself with one political party. I do not understand why people choose to be in one. It’s a stupid system.
There are a lot of us in real life, and many aren’t conservatives at all... we’re just not modern libtards. We don’t come out for fear of liberal nuts attacking our livelihoods.
Nothing proves your well-reasoned better than using the word "libtard" and "liberal nuts" 👍
What’s wrong with Florida retirement homes? You biased against old people?
Never said anything bad about them. There was an article in politico recently about the political leanings of a 100k person retirement community: https://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2018/06/18/florida-senior-citizens-vote-election-2018-218758
I was making a joke. Hard to get across on blind sometimes
Not sure the tech community is overwhelmingly liberal. Among my tech friends, I don’t see it. I see more libertarianism where they side with liberals on social issues but lean conservative on economic issues.
Coming out as conservative in the tech industry can wreck your career. Since it is not safe to express our opinions about small government, protecting civil rights, lowering taxes, etc. in public for fear of retaliation, many people prefer to vent anonymously online.
Most people are moderate, if they think hard enough about the topics. But the passionate liberals are very loud and make it seem like most Bay Area folks think like that. And when most of the media equates conservatives with Nazis, why would anyone take that risk of showing their real views. This is why polls will be inaccurate for the 2020 election too. Let's bring back moderate, well-balanced, non-ideological thinking!!
Conservatives are not the problem. Trumpeters are and they’re motivated. Liberals are probably busy getting laid and too busy to post here. But look past Trump’s public monkeyshines, and find one emotion that especially motivates his supporters: envy. Or, to use a more evocative French term, it is ressentiment, the need to blame others for one’s own frustration and circumstances. Trump plays on this feeling, every day, promising to avenge the millions wronged by “the establishment,” whoever that is. (Trump, a stalwart of New York Democratic politics and a man who has made a career out of fleecing the gullible while impoverishing workers, is counting on the fact that his fans have no sense of irony
The same is true for the "progressive" scourge. Trumpism is just a reflection.
I used to be a liberal, but then I realized the most intolerant and racist people I saw and met in life were virtually always democrats/progressives
I grew up in a conservative family in a conservative part of California and realized the opposite when I was a teenager. For the first 15 years of my life I considered myself a conservative
Dude, from age 0-15 no one knows enough to self-identify as liberal or conservative. Just say it as it is, you've always been liberal.
Liberals don't have to hide behind anonymity so we don't come here for that.
Because there are no negative consequences for voicing liberal views.
😒
