To my liberal-leaning friends.
In the months and weeks leading up to the 2016 presidential election, I discovered just how many of you there are. Your support for Clinton and disdain for Trump flooded my social media feed in the form of shared articles, likes and comments on political posts and articles. I don’t engage in a ton of political banter, despite the ridiculous amount of political science college coursework I racked up in my degree program. So I spent most of the election season taking it all in, watching everyone duke it out over policy and personality.
The mainstream media (and my Facebook feed) had me convinced that, as a conservative, I was in a minority that was shrinking fast.
