    I'm a centrist: I hold some conservative views and some liberal views. But I'm more afraid of talking to my liberal friends about my conservative views than I am talking to my conservative friends about my liberal views.

        Wait you’re a centrist?!😱😱😱😩 I’m shocked I thought you were just a classical liberal. But yeah I feel you people in my age group really can’t stand conservatives so I just stay quiet really. Sucks that my college/the programs I’m in preach social justice.

        Many who identify as classical liberals are centrist! Fiscally conservative, socially liberal. And I'm not a libertarian because they have the most isolationist foreign policy views.

        These days, centrists are sometimes called "enablers of the alt-right." See what happened to Steven Pinker lately. :(

        Problem is that the far left brands anyone who criticizes them in any way as ‘alt right’

        Very interesting. One might suggest that those "liberal" friends aren't by definition liberal.

        I never thought Portland was a small town! But it is super liberal, and I assume that can get very "judg-y."

        i see myself a centrist that leans more liberal. but I have more open discussions with conservative friends than liberal ones lately. my Liberal friends barely hear me out before going off into their opinion as to why i'm wrong. polite discourse is dead with them apparently....

        Exactly how I feel. The left has become so hostile and pugnacious to anyone expressing a different view than their own. At least with conservatives you can a have a reasonable conversation without automatically being labelled a bigot or judged because of gender, racial race etc

        And children born as a result of botched abortions are born alive fetuses. But maybe conservatives are too reasonable? Will we be able to withstand an onslaught of Antifa thugs and Bernie Bullies? I fear if Bernie gets in, our second amendment will become more meaningful to many.
