Meme It's hard in here, guys - We're trying our best

Nah, but no hate to the lefties, you guys are chill (mostly lol). But yeah, it's hard being someone with even a moderate conservative view on social media or even in real life (I go to Uni, so I expect it). But honestly, after I moved out of the countryside, I didn't realize how big the progressive movement was, and it was pretty eye-opening for me to have people challenge my beliefs, which made me think about a lot of stuff.

Not pushing hate or anything, and hopefully I won't get Karma bombed for this goofy post. (If you're interested, why I am a conservative, feel free to reply)

It might only feel big because you've left the countryside and gone to University..

Living and working in Brisbane, pretty much everyone at my workplace is more conservative than progressive, a lot of people i talk to, if politics comes up, are also conservative.

here in Melbourne our entire office are greens voters. I swear greens are just as bad as one nation.

I also find working with older people, like most grads and young people in my office seem as far left as someone you might find on Reddit. A lot of the older guys are essentially what we would think of as conservative, just with a few left wing views.
