I don't see many individualists out there who don't "have a team", either lib or con (in short). If you are either, you pretty much toe the line down the line on every issue. You won't find many libs saying climate change is not that bad, nor cons saying it is. The same is true for every other issue, I think. A few folks have cross views on issues, not many, other than perhaps around here.
The folks I got to know well enough to have some knowledge of their POVs on things in Cincy often had more nuanced views, I think. But there weren't many. I'd overhear some convo in my wine group at times and they were mostly hard liberals with a couple exceptions, which was fine with me. Some of their views expressed to me on guns were ... well, difficult to straighten out with facts, they did not like facts.
At all. One came to me later wanting to write a letter to our congressman and I tried to help (email) but the letter she sent had none of my "corrections", facts like how most gun crime is committed with pistols. It's not debatable, it's a fact, she botched it, not lined up with her world view.
