I was curious how common it is to be, say, a leftist in a very conservative area.

My county, family, and school are all very conservative. It makes it a bit intimidating to engage in any political discussion. I also rarely get to hear leftist opinion anywhere in person, which means i need to devote a lot of time to considering and thinking about arguments that are probably already solved.

Are you, or have you been, in a similar situation?

    Well I’m on Lemmy.

    I don’t really talk politics. Not here and not in real life. I don’t even know who most people around me vote for. Not even my parents. I don’t live in a two party system so it’s not a binary us vs. them like it’s in the US.

    I form my opinions on a individual basis and they’re not always aligned with my “political leaning”
