Political Affiliation
Do you wear your political affiliation on your sleeve? You kind of have to be demonstratively on the right side in your own mind, right?
It gets hard when you have bipartisan relationships in the business world that you have to maintain who might take offense at some of your viewpoints.
Being able to not care about this kind of thing is a luxury that not everyone has. Economics mean that you have to earn, and you are going to have to deal with people from both parties. And here’s another thing — this cartoonish notion that the party lines divide people up into just good and just bad people is overly simplistic. Though being able to brook a conversation that includes enthusiastic praise of Trump is not the easiest thing to endure. This is complicated further by the fact that I don’t really ally myself with either party, as parties are both marred by problematic policies and histories.
I think around the subject based on issues. I never thought it made much sense blindly following anything — questioning started early for me and hasn’t stopped. I understand that some people feel that this period of research that they embarked on led them to choose a particular party, and if that works for them all well and good.
