I keep hearing about people who aren't socialists/communists being stalked, threatened, chided, belittled, and harassed by the party of inclusion. I fully admit/concede that it is a mental illness, and those who are guiding their mentally ill followers want them to strike anywhere to let conservatives know that they are not safe.

But...........

Is lefty harassment a real issue where you live? How much of the country does their astroturf protests really affect.

It seems to me that it does happen on a small scale in fly over country, but most of the shenanigans take place in lefty controlled metro areas where these acid heads know that they can shut down interstates, threaten and assault people, and nothing is going to be done to them by the lefties in charge, or the lefty courts.

That doesn't fly here in Kentucky. No matter how far left Louisville's mayor is, he doesn't control the state police. And the state police do not give a fuck what the mayor thinks.

Everyone else here carries guns, and because of that, the Anifa freaks don't push their luck because violent assault will get your ass shot here, and juries don't take kindly to carpetbaggers messing with locals.

How much a problem is this where you live, and does this data of where it doesn't occur assist us in learning how to stop it where it does?

No this is Texas, they stay quiet, except in some areas of Houston, Austin. They for the most part are not real popular down here. Not really worried about living in fear of them.

Not around here, at least not that I'm aware of, although the city is run by a lefty. Actually, H-town has been run by lefties forever, almost 40 years.

Metro Atlanta is infested with communists and the entitlement crowd.
Not long before it's Detroit Jr.
The communists have complete control of most of "Atlanta".
Only the suburbs and rural are red.

Here in the Florida Panhandle such behavior will likely get you an ass whoopin'. From your own people. The crazies are out there but they are far and few between in this area and generally keep a low profile.

I live in Spokane County, Wa. and those types of shenanigans wouldn't fly. Yeah, we have lefty's but we are primarily a conservative population. Our sheriff is a gun rights loving republican and our US rep. is Kathy McMorris Rogers who is high in the republican hierarchy.

I wish I could say the same for the west side of the state, but as you already know, Seattle is a huge leftist stronghold.

I suppose no-one much goes around spouting about their politics publicly on a normal day. Any and all conservatives would be harassed if they did. It's become the new norm/thing to do thanks to the media/internet.
The inter cities seem to all be democrat ...
Wonder why ....duh....
I'm near Charlotte NC. It could get bad there in a snap.

Not only am I in Los Angeles, but I work in the entertainment industry. If I wore a MAGA hat to the grocery store, I wouldn’t make it out without some confrontation, possibly physical. My biggest (and very real) fear is that I would be blacklisted by the “tolerant” left if they knew my views.

SigForum is my sanctuary.

Well I don't go around flying the rebel flag and totally open with my stances. Our AG is a cunt that only cares to sue florists, anti-tax advocates, and of course Trump, so if I had a business I would have to closet my political leanings. There was the shooting at a Milo speech at the university of Washington. I have had a BLM-type come in to my place of work to cause a disturbance, ranting about whites and using disturbing language around children until kicked out. All in all I've had it, and will move to Idaho or Montana in a year or two.

Very little if any. The current Senate candidate to replace Cochran touts Second Amendment rights by holding an AR and talking about rights of gun owners. In addtion to those beliefs, there is a huge military presence here with the second largest Air Force medical facility, a Navy CB base, Coast Guard Station and Air National Guard base. The left would feel out of place here, although they would be tolerated if they do not cause trouble. The Coast is very tolerant of aberrant behavior.LOL

I don't think it is so much control per say (outside of the lefty shitholes anyways) as most conservatives are simply mindful of the fact that there's always one asshole in every crowd.

I live in a very red, conservative area but will not announce with bumper stickers, decals, clothing, hats, etc. my political affiliations for the simple reason that there is always at least one (afore mentioned) asshole in every crowd who would have no compunction or qualms about destroying or damaging my property or even attempting a physical confrontation based on the belief that all who disagree are racist, fascist, this-ish or that-ish.

The irony of course is these liberal assholes can advertise their political and social views in absolute safety, knowing that conservative type folks will do nothing to them or their property without cause or justification and accept that disagreeing politically does not meet that standard.

So they drive around with their "Bernie!" stickers and plaster their house and lawn "I'm With Her" banners and know they are largely safe but would not hesitate to secretly vandalize their neighbors car should it display a "TRUMP" sticker.

Montgomery County TX is about as red as a county can be. I've seen a handful of Beto stickers and yard signs but that's the only indication of enemy activity near to home.

In Madison, Wisconsin there are lots of loonies making a lot of noise, but most of them don't have the nerve to pick on living people.

My only concern is that I might have to defend myself or my family from physical assault, and then defend myself in Court in Madison.

Eastern panhandle of WV; close to the Republik of Maryland, but the good, western, non-commie part.

No worries here... even if they come with their best game. I’ve got the cure for what ails them, should it come to that.

I don't notice it at all in the burbs of Houston. I wear my Trump 2020 Keep America Great t-shirt on weekends with zero negative interactions.

I have one coworker whose loony wife drives an art car. Only do guy stuff with him (e.g. poker nights) since she annoys me, but I have no idea how she's been since Nov '16 because I've been 99% successfully avoiding her for 2 decades.

They may elect a Demonrat shitbag mayor everytime, but it's districts in Houston that are the "base" for the vote and I never go in those districts.

I live out in the woods.

It is just me, deer, and the armadillos.

SLO county is purple, with plenty of leftys especially the college kids. There are plenty of farmers, ranchers, business folks, and other conservatives though. Sure, a lefty that knows you are a conservative may “tisk, tisk” a bit, but that is about the extent of it.

After our last grocery shopping trip to Walmart last week, I asked my girlfriend if she has noticed that there are more illegal aliens there than in the past. She hasn't.

Even here in a Republican congressional district, I don't talk politics with neighbors, nor do I wear my MAGA hat.

Yes, I'm afraid for my safety, because of all the shit that the Left has encouraged here. I can't wait until the day I figure a way out of here.

I just moved from Newport, Oregon, and ran into it a few times. Once while wearing a Trump 2020 T-shirt and another time I overheard some old lesbian going off on a 10-12 year old boy scout about not letting gays in while they were doing a fundraiser at Fred Meyer.

The Prius driving pussy hat brigade used to protest at the main intersection in town about 1x per month about gun control, gay rights, Trump's taxes, etc.

Never been scared of them, like I said, they'll go after kids, yell a few cuss words, and maybe key your car if you're not around, but they're really pretty comical.

One of the County Commissioners there is going through a sex change......Bill Hall is going to become Claire Hall.

Couldn't wait to get out of there.

I live in Northern Virginia, which is being taken over by the Death Cult Commies. It's like the plague: the virtue-signaling "Hate Has No Home Here" signs are popping up on lawns, signifying the residents within must be quarantined. In Northern Virginia's 10th District, incumbent Barbara Comstock (R) is fighting for her political life against Jennifer Wexton (D), whose stance is your typical Leftist "tax the rich and leave the poor immigrants alone."

Tim Kaine (yes, THAT Tim Kaine) is running against Corey Stewart, who is having trouble getting out of his own way. His radio ads are funny ("I'm Corey Stewart, and I approved this ad because the lying Democrats should never be able to run this country again. Ever!"), but he trails Kaine by about 20 points with less than a month to go.

"Real" Virginia is still pretty conservative, but the Death Cult has infested NoVa and the population growth there and in the southeastern coastal area has been pulling the noose on the rest of the state tighter and tighter.
