I agree with people that say that SV is an echo chamber. I'm software eng., and found it very hard for a year before election to work there. Happy to explain if someone cares to know. It is a bit hard when people on left were told: 'you are smart to vote left' - they just talk down to me. I'll give you one example, on TV, they had a right wing person getting egged - I'm sure most here saw the news/video. And I had friends I knew for years call me racists. Scary. Etc. After the election - it got worse. So I left SV for NY. I understand if right wing leaves, I know now what it is to be hated. I think you should ashamed - there is no way right wing would treat you that way. (ex: See x-TYT video of Red Pill Black - let me know if you can't find it )

You don't think conservatives treat liberals poorly? Go on r/atheism and see all the complaints about living in a red state.

Yea... sorry, I don’t think a bunch of sheltered evenagelical-atheist kids should really be your go to metric. I can only think of a few worse online communities.
