I'm a Conservative who recently moved to a Liberal state. It's interesting to say the least. There are many reason for Conservatives to remain silent, Liberals can be very radical. Thats not Conservatives you see rioting and destroying things on TV. The amount of death threats to Trump supporters here is staggering! Announcing that you're Conservatives is like a career death sentence as well. That is just to name a few reasons. Anyhow, Conservatives in my area are rare and they don't just tell anyone.
