Maybe.

Then again, perhaps here people are unfettered. Fear of being ostracized etc. can be a powerful motivator to keep your thoughts to yourself, and keep your mouth closed.

I had a chat with a chic one time that was “far left” on everything via FB, IG, etc. I asked her if she really felt that way. She told me no, but that in the art community, she would lose her business if she didn’t say those things. She later told me that she is privately a staunch conservative.

Again, you may be totally correct. However, who knows what people really believe anymore. Coercion is real. Don’t believe me, just look at “masking” during Covid. Most people hated them, but wore them anyway.
