How surrounded are you by opposing political views? (lemmy.zip)

I was curious how common it is to be, say, a leftist in a very conservative area.

My county, family, and school are all very conservative. It makes it a bit intimidating to engage in any political discussion. I also rarely get to hear leftist opinion anywhere in person, which means i need to devote a lot of time to considering and thinking about arguments that are probably already solved.

Are you, or have you been, in a similar situation?

My state is overwhelmingly conservative and I stick out like a sore thumb that wants universal healthcare.

I filter out the vast, vast majority of people and basically have a dozen people I know and hang out with who are also not conservative.
