Subject: Re: Insightful or condescending?
I dare you to put a Trump yard sign on your front lawn up here in Seattle :)

Well, sure - but that misses the point I was making above. A big enough population allows you anonymity to be nonconforming, iconoclastic, or otherwise depart from the norms without it being well-known to all. Of course, if you deliberately choose to break that level of "flying below the radar" by, say, putting out a yard sign you will lose a lot of that benefit. Although as was pointed out, it's not like conservatives don't exist altogether in Seattle - they're just deeply in the minority. But for the most part, you can keep things like your political leanings largely hidden in a large city - at least, to a much larger degree than in a small town.
