This question applies to all the adults who you’ve actually met, seen, interacted with, and who live within approximately 50 miles of you.
They can be family members, friends, co-workers, fellow students, club members, whoever. The only other requirement is that both of you have to know each other by name.
Now imagine that you asked each of these people, individually and privately, the following question: “How would you describe yourself politically?”
What percentage of them would say something like “liberal” or “mostly liberal?”
I live in an area that is about 75% registered Republican, but many years ago Big Corporate and
the gov't tried to put Waste Nuke dumps in this area. We banded together against the common
enemy and many of my friends are still those anti-nuke protestors. The area is stll Republican
but at least they know enought to keep the nuke waste out. Actually, NIMBY, most don't care if
they put it in your back yard. Many of those protestors became Greens, same as me, because we
realize it is about CORPORATE power vs. humanity. Still think that way, I guess.
