Not surprising considering you can lose your livelihood because you offended someone somehow. Whether or not it actually happened isn't important.

I would love to hear the opinions the conservatives are too afraid to put out there with the stuff they already say. I have idea an though.

Which is why Trump will win. The silent majority (me included) grows bigger and more driven by the day.

Except there's a part of that 62% who think Trump is a moron but don't say that in public either

 

[PEPPERJAX]

Are we still allowed to say God Bless America and commies suck? Eff it! God bless America and commies suck.

Interesting. Straight out of the far left play book is what we are seeing. Intimidate people at their homes and threaten their careers over innocuous statements and beliefs. Then others just choose to go quiet.

Plenty of democrats think Biden is moron but don't share it in public either.

That's correct, you see people wearing MAGA hats or who just support the President getting jumped and beat by several people (usually antifa or BLM) Sometimes even killed

Yea, there are literally many places it would not be safe to wear that apparel.

Much less likely to see that scenario wearing a Biden hat.

The silent majority, LOL. Even if Trump wins, he will have nowhere near a majority of Americans.

There was a time not long ago I could have worn a MAGA hat in downtown Houston, or Dallas, or maybe even Austin with no worries. But you’d have to be an idiot or looking for a fight to do that now.

Did you see in OP's article' where 36% of conservatives think people should be fired for donating to Biden? Let's not pretend like this is all on the D's.

Not that anyone would actually wear an O'Biden hat

We are all aware that you think it’s that they support the Klan. I don’t know how you get out of bed in the morning with all of these “people” waiting to lynch you. I have never spoken to anyone more obsessed with race than you

Lmao. That is not what that means. It means they can't say the racist crap they think without fear of someone checking them. Not that no one knows they support Trump. They are identified as conservatives already.

Yall make up so much crap. That is a lie.


I also live in East Tn and know a ton of white liberals who can't be open about it outside of the cities because of the crazy MAGA idiots here.

He's actually very popular, his supporters just keep quiet about it.

I've not seen those thoughts put into action.

Mostly from shame because America got worse after that ill-conceived 2016 campaign slogan. I love that I'm seeing "Keep America Great" for 2020 as if things are so much better now under Trump. We're saying America is great again, LOL? Literally everybody is mad and divided. Republicans lost seats in mid-terms. We've got rioting. We've probably got the worst policing situation in US history. The economy is on its way to the shitter and we're inflating the money supply. Debt is through the roof. Spending is through the roof. No trade wars have been won. Immigration is still a gigantic problem. He infringed on 2A. Obamacare is still in place. She's not locked up. Foreign policy is still bankrupting us.

Everybody should have too much shame, let alone be afraid, to voice their support of Trump.

So what are conservatives afraid to say that they can't which is not bigoted? Name one single opinion that it could be. Just one that has nothing to do with racism, sexism, or homophobia.

When you will finally be brave enough to come out of the fraud libertarian closet and admit you are voting for O'Biden

I bet you people are afraid to voice support of Trump. Seems like the difference between D and R in these polls might just be a Trump phenomenon.

I just hit Trump on conservative infractions, LOL. You are more liberal than me. You support Trump. The guy who can't decide if he's a D or an R and then acts like a D in office.
