Subject: Re: Insightful or condescending?
Perhaps, but it's far less likely - and you'd have to really work to keep people from finding out other, more demonstrative aspects of who you are that would go relatively unnoticed in a big city. And there's fewer places you can go to that don't care about those aspects, or even support them.

Depends, doesn't it?
You said that unless I made an overt sign of my political leanings in the big city (like putting a yard sign out) that no one would notice. The same holds true in small towns: unless I ran around and told everyone what I was thinking no one would know.

Here in Seattle one needs to be careful. Local lib groups also like to search databases looking for Trump *donors* so they can put you on blast. The clear intent being the hope that somebody pays your house a visit.
