I raise you with these.

I support diversity but I'm waging a crusade against Affirmative Action. 

I wear masks when I'm at a crowded place. But I don't when I run and I tell people who mask shame me to STFU because they don't know WTF they're talking about.

I have gay friends but I really want to punch someone who uses "they/them" as personal pronouns. Also gender is binary.

 

What even are you? I hope you don’t have views that don’t fit a linear right/left spectrum because we don’t like complex thoughts.

 

At heart? I guess I'm a classical liberal/libertarian leaning progressive. And I don't mean any of those 3 in distorted American ways. I mean in the original definitions of those 3 terms. Meaning I believe in individual freedom, minimal government, and absolutely against discrimination and prejudice of any sort. 

But what I hate to be is an ideologue. So in practice, I just define myself as a pragmatist. 

Good problem solving triumphs ideology.

Obviously being on the Liberal side is more prestigious.

All the mega-corporations, banks, big tech and the mainstream media are on the Democrat's side. Also, being a Democrat will earn you CCP social credit points as well if you want to join Hunter Biden's Chinese Private Equity firm.

Being on the right will potentially get you blacklisted/censored.

As the only conservative / libertarian in my office, I can assure you I am not popular amongst my colleagues.

Because for them there are more liberal consumers than conservative consumers. You don't wanna lose any business ya know. 

Similarly, you don't see tractor companies going all "diversity programs" (read mostly racist reverse discriminatory practices that MLK Jr lost his life fighting against).

Also, being a Democrat will earn you CCP social credit points as well if you want to join Hunter Biden's Chinese Private Equity firm.

LOL

Why do you even discuss politics at work?

Right, and as a true conservative, you chalk up the fact that your colleagues don't like you to the fact that "mega corporations" are liberal, and not that the average conservative in modern America is a tin hat conspiracist, a bigot, and proudly ignorant.  Which includes you, who demonstrated nearly all three of those qualities in the space of two sentences!

You proudly support a party that just tried to overthrow the American government, and presumably a President who has been convicted of trying to do so for at least the past two years.  Perhaps your colleagues just like people who are content to let the democratic process play out, and not neo-Confederate cosplayers?
