The old saying, If you are young and not a socialist, you have no heart and if you are 30 and not a conservation, you have no brain.
In my house I admit. I am an authoritarian communist.
Out with my friends, I admit. I am a socialist.
Involving my community, I admit. I am a Democrat.
Involving my State, I admit. I am a Republican.
With my Nation we call the USA, I admit. I am a Libertarian.
I seem to practice it all, and with the size of the group, how my ideas range.
The trust factor in bigger groups, decreases. The smaller the group, the more trust I have we will have common thinking.
Only thing my level of trust dictates is whether I am willing to even discuss politics with someone. Generally, outside close friends and family, the answer is no.
That said, if the discussion occurs, I am all anarchist, all the time, no doubts. If I am willing to discuss the topic, I am willing to share my 100% distaste for the entire theory of government, regardless of which pack of morons happens to be leading at any given moment.
Not for nothing, but I won't talk about much more than chatty pleasantries with people I don't trust. Nothing good typically comes from engaging people you don't know well. In the era of people being so easily offended about even the most innocuous of topics, easier to stay silent, avid eye contact, and keep the list of people you speak to at a bare minimum.

I don't discuss Politics with anybody (other than spouse) - ever.
It's not even a matter of "trust" - my observation is that it's only the Leftists than even want to discuss/debate and Indoctrinate. They bring up Politics and I always just say -- "I never pay any attention to that stuff and know nothing about Politics at all? Then I change the subject.
Not a soul I know thinks I know anything at all about Politics or even the News of the Day.
That suits me just fine.
Constitutionalists and Independents (and some who call themselves Republicans) think for themselves and we have heard and seen the results of leftist idiot's ideas, we would not waste our time in any debate with a person who exists in a Bubble.
I actually think this is the main reason that Democrats and their Lap Dog Media can't figure out Trump voters .... mostly, we don't choose to converse with a closed mind.
There are also numerous reasons leftists cannot learn from, or understand Trump supporters. One is that we are not a monolithic mob like them, and more importantly they do not want to understand us as we challenge the very core of their beliefs. In a nutshell, we can learn virtually nothing from them, and they do not care to learn anything from us. We keep quiet for the most part and just VOTE.

Is is not about your political voice, but your actions in those circumstances.
Some people think the older one gets, the more conservative they become as the responsibilities grow.
I on the other hand, get more conservative, the larger the group I associate with is.
I don't guess there was a question. I didn't use a question mark in the post. It was a statement, up for inquiry and dialogue.

I sure wouldn't want to live with an authoritarian.

Wow, that's really sad. Recently someone commented that one disastrous development which is undermining America and making things worse is that people don't talk politics.
And, by the way, you show your own bias in imagining Democrats to be monolithic. Do you not even remember Obama's problems with his own party?

How does it work for you these contrasting politic leanings?

The bigger the group, the more conservative I get. To the point of Libertarian on the federal level.
