This experience must vary a lot with your locale. I live in a medium sized town in Canada and feel very uncomfortable talking to my conservative, suburban neighbours about issues I strongly believe should be a priority for everyone. Like climate change.
They know that them and me don’t see eye to eye on these issues but I can’t bring it up in a way that I would with my left leaning friends and it pains me. Because it’s something that both sides of the political spectrum should be able to rally behind. Many conservatives here fancy themselves as sort of “salt of the earth people” so I don’t get the hostility towards some kind of conservation.
- RcouF1uZ4gsC 6y agoWill your conservative neighbors be annoyed and maybe ignore you if you bring up climate change, or will they actively try to get you fired from your job? I think the Left is getting flak for doing the latter.
- abraxas 6y agoThey will at best ostracize me from their social circles. And at worst damage my property. Yes, I had a direct experience of the latter when my car was keyed for having a “give peace a chance” bumper sticker during the times of the war on Iraq. And that’s in Canada, bear in mind.
- cujo 6y agoI think you replaced climate change with racist behavior there.
- dimgl 6y agoI'm surprised your mind went to that. Maybe you've classified all conservatives as racist?
- JAlexoid 6y agoTell that to a gay teacher in a conservative area.
