Most of my friends know I did. Hell they did also and we're all cool about it. Though I don't hang out with ugly libtard females and betacucks

How can you have meaningful relationships with such shallow individuals? Real friends wouldn't ditch you over something like this.

That's really unfortunate. I'm in something of a minority when it comes to my friends and our various political alignments as well; I'm a fairly staunch Libertarian and most of my friends are conservative, with one centrist and a solid socialist. The one great thing is that we don't take it personal when we talk politics with each other. We're all lucky in that regard.

Having to hide your affiliation like that is likely (I can't know for sure) akin to having to hide the fact you are gay or hiding that you secretly are a hardcore brony. It's something that's a part of you - not something that defines you, but it makes up part of what you are.

I'd like to recommend trying to broach the subject with one of your friends and trying to ask for understanding and tolerance. For being their watchwords, liberals tend to be fairly poor in exercising either. But maybe you can find a good time, or something of that nature. You can try explaining that you believe what you believe, and it has nothing to do with racism or whatever else. Obviously only you can decide who's a good potential candidate for something like this, when a good time would be, or if it's even feasible. I hope they are ultimately willing to not be so personal with it and put their feelings aside in favor of the friendship.

Best of luck, mate. I hope you find some kind of peace or common ground with them.

I too am having a lonely victory. I'm surrounded by people who are to lost in their own little worlds Who didn't vote but listened to attack ads so have an opinion. Who don't understand how our system works or how close we came to losing it.
