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.
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.
For example, one semester of English nobody ever knew I was a Republican, and I had an A in the class. As soon as I did a presentation on 2A rights, in the second semester, my grade went down to a B- all after that.
