I don't think I know any real-life Republican.
How is this possible? I mean, I know California college campuses are very liberal, but there must be some conservatives like RFayette, right?
It is fairly unsafe to publicly identify as right-of-center at UCLA.
I live in Iowa City, and it's similar: it's just not worth talking about. At the University, it's a little different. Totally depends on where you are. If you were on the main campus breaking up an ultimate frisbee game or on the pedestrian mall talking to some guys playing hackysack to spout Republican talking points, you'd find 99 out of 100 people giving you a very negative reaction. However, if you went to a frat party or hung around the outside of the finance classes in the business school (huge portions of kids from suburban Chicago), I think people would kind of scoff at a bleeding heart liberal.
