[QUOTE="Alpone, post: 1288538, member: 8913"] Exactly right. Some leftists can tell when people aren't on their sinking ship when they don't parrot approved, state-sponsored phrases like "I hate Trump" or "Climate change blaa blaa blaa". Just coming off as a little too masculine or dominant can set their radar off. Or remaining silent when political opinions are being discussed. A leftist will often prod a person who doesn't appear to ideologically conform to them. I've had this happen. They'll say they heard a heart-warming tale about African refugees or something on NPR, and then lead into "What do you think about that?" I usually say I'm too busy to follow the news.
