whats a lurker

whups im kinda a lurker then

but ill try not to be

What's it like being right-wing in california?

I have a friend who is a right winger in Berkeley. I hurt for him when he tells me about the folks where he lives. especially when he tells me about the people on his dating apps.

I am that friend, and it's true

@PiT do you go to UC Berkeley, or are you just a resident of the area

I am an alumnus of UC Berkeley and work there as staff now

I think it is also worth noting that I seek out these sorts of right-wing discussion groups because I don't feel safe talking about politics IRL

🆙 | **PiT leveled up!**

@fhtagn has called the area where I live "Antifaland", and not without cause

"because I don't feel safe talking about politics IRL"

wow, it's that bad? I don't even mind talking about politics here in NYC

I can't talk about politics here, really

and my views aren't even as far right as most Republicans

That's probably because you're a beta tbh.

Alphas don't have issues.

That said

I think it's really reasonable to want to use Discord or something to discuss politics in PiT's scenario.

UC Berkeley is infamous.

Even without the violence there

They've always had a reputation for being far-left, and they're in a far-left area of a far-left state.

In NYC I could oddly politics going well

because it's very urban and there's like...

Over a million Trump supporters in one city

To say the least

Yeah, I can't trust Democrats on a good day; it gets worse when you have Antifa intimidating the Berkeley College Republicans...which the university administration acknowledged in an email to the campus community

hey folks. any californians here?

I see possible a couple up there in history

We are here, but there is not too many and for the most part we are busy with IRL stuff

One trouble is that a lot of people who were more active in the summer are now busy with college (or high school)

Or kicked as far as califorinan users go 😀

are you referring to the furry or the brony

A touch on @Snoipah 's question, to be right wing in this state really bites, a lot of my rights are on the fence in public places I should feel okay to express myself in (my high school).

Either you get into trouble with the Administrators or people just think youre a dick.

I have to be careful of what I wear/say around teachers too because if they find out I am indeed right-wing, they will be biased on grades.
