I'm never sure why right wingers are so dedicated to trying to make it seem like they are the tiniest, most exclusive, romantic resistance group fighting the Goliath opposition as if they don't make up damn near half of the country.

Speaking from that center-right, a number of us felt that way because whenever we voiced an opinion contrary to our vocal opposition we were met with cries of "hate speech", "racist", "sexist" and any other throwaway that is cringe worthy at this point.

To give you an anecdote, a subordinate had [i]heard[/i] I was considering Donald Trump for my vote back during his earlier running career in 2016. Without any base to stand on, they mechanized [i]anyone[/i] who was sympathetic to the left to brand me "racist" because I had also agreed in another instance that illegal immigrants are unlawful citizens and need to be removed from the country.

It is it an anecdote? Beyond a doubt, but having nearly twenty some-odd people jump at you just because they[i] thought[/i] you were a true Alt-Right'er tends to give that impression. The good news is, I had the authority to make be still and explain just that - my belief and my considerations of the candidate - but this type of behavior is not limited in scope.

You tend to feel like a small number when there are not a lot of you who feel like you can safely say or do anything without becoming demonized.
