My horrible misguided leftist friends who live for soapbox rants about all things liberal, zip their lips when I am in their presence.  
Not a word about anything even remotely political.   Hmmm, why would that be misfits?    I am a minority here in super-liberal MA.    Easy target practice you would say?   
Yeah no.      Utter nonsense meets a quick death in my presence.   
I have never had a stranger talk politics with me in any checkout line, ever.   I guess I really haven't lived have I?
