I doubt this is true. I'm a Trump supporter and I will always answer truthfully when someone asks. Plus people really don't ask around here since I'm an assimilated Asian American and around here, unless you're black or an UN-assimilated minority or gay, people already assume you're a Republican and Trump supporter. People sometimes know I'm a Trump fan from my bumper stickers and my MAGA hat.....nobody here in Louisiana ever confronts me.
But when I'm outside the South I've been questioned by random people both whites and minorities why I can support Trump being a person of color. Always liberals obsessed about racial identity.
The only times I've heard of people hiding their pro-Trump views is within the black community and black families. One of my best friends is from a Black British background (parents from Nigeria) and was not raised on racial politics but his sister was raised mostly in the US and went to a HBCU and was radicalized into the African American mentality and gave my friend hell for voting for Trump and questioned whether he was black. This sister who assimilated into the African American Democrat mentality was also the only person in his family who was against him getting married to a white girl.
I also know some gay people who would not admit to others in the LGBT community for being pro-Trump, just like I know some gay men and women who would confide to straight friends that they don't believe in the transgender and transsexual stuff (like Gwyneth Paltrow raising her son as a girl BS) but will never admit that to other LGBT people.
I do know a handful of liberals in both Louisiana and West Virginia who would not admit to their family that they did NOT vote for Trump.
The ONE exception I know of to my post.......is actually my mom, a LEGAL Asian immigrant. She voted for Trump but told a pollster on the phone she was voting for Hillary because she wanted to give Hillary false hope and underestimate Trump, which she indeed did!!!! Also she gives in a Northeast state which is far more liberal than Louisiana and she doesn't like to admit to coworkers that she's a Trump supporter. The Asian American population is a lot more pro-Trump than the media would have you believe. Now most of my friends are non-Asian but as far as I know at least in the Louisiana Asian community its perfectly acceptable to be openly conservative and Republican, unlike in the black community.
Hispanics in Louisiana tend to be more assimilated and pro-Trump than in Maryland where they are more into the Dreamer/identity politics thing. Nearly every Hispanic I know who was born in the US and assimilated into American culture supports Trump and recognizes that illegal immigration must be stopped and the border must be protected.
I'd say yes, I have nothing to be afraid of. Almost everyone I know is pro-Trump 2020, anyway...except for a liberal Democrat social worker brother in-law in Portland (no surprise there). It's not like he could do anything to retaliate, he's too hopeless.
I wish a pollster would call me. I would gladly tell them I voted for Trump and how his victory was the happiest day of my life. I would tell what I liked and didn't like about his first term. I will tell them that I will proudly vote for him again unless we attack Iran.
Political polling is completely anonymous. How would family or friends know how anyone responded to any phone or online poll?
Responses are grouped together without any identifying information other than the usual demographics (age, gender, income, etc.)
People give away more personal information when they do those ubiquitous quizzes on Facebook.
The level of paranoia around polling is really...weird.
Or I may have some fun and name another candidate Ll the while I will vote for Trump regardless.
It depends if I felt like triggering the pollster or participating in undermining their efforts.
