I walked right by them without saying a word and the one who attacked me pats me on my shoulder and said "Nice meeting you"...I said "Yeah"....and didn't even look at her.

The PC Brigade telling people not to get offended over words.
Wonders never do cease in 2016, It's truly a great time to be alive.

So - you talked politics in a BAR and were met by hostility and aggression?
In other news - water is in fact wet.
So I'm guessing you didn't read my post?
Nope, I read it - you went to a bar and met a woman who went off about Trump. You went to another bar and were criticized again for being a Trump supporter.
I thought you Trump supporters were all about letting others express their freedom of speech and were not stifled by this "PC," culture? Sounds like you need to recover in a safe-space after being verbally assaulted.
Seriously though - and I don't drink nor go to bars so perhaps I'm wrong - but I wouldn't expect bringing politics up in a bar setting to be the best idea.

At this point I'm angry...so I give him a piece of my mind and he cowers down and call me a "bully" now. And I'm pissed. We get into it, I got heated, I started getting loud because this is twice in 2 hours I've been called names by people I don't after basically saying a NAME...to where I was asked to leave the bar. So I did.
What's that saying I keep hearing from conservatives on here? Oh yeah, stick and stones may break my bones, but names will never hurt me. I keep hearing people shouldn't get so upset over words.
1) I'm not a "Conservative"
2) This isn't about "words"
I didn't know it was this bad. I've never seen this in my life. Where my political views, or a mere WORD makes me an outcast or villain somehow. I saw something CLOSE to this with Bush (Which I didn't support)...but people were able to talk about it. This is a whole different vibe. And now I'm defensive. I feel like I have to shut my mouth and swallow the words and thoughts because I don't know if something will happen. I thought at most it was just the general disgust, anger, annoyance on their part. It's now getting hostile and aggressive and I'm considering REALLY moving away from Los Angeles at this point.
Today really opened my eyes and I feel trapped. I have to get out. This isn't good.

This is a paraphrase of a sign I have seen in nearly every bar I have ever been in:
The Rules:
No religion, no football, no politics.
It's a good shout. I am shocked that you did not know of this.

Did they throw any punches at you? Who was asked to leave the bar?

Sounds like you've been channeling your inner snowflake.
Walk into a bar,
I didn't know it was this bad. I've never seen this in my life

I didn't say they were nice. I've been in plenty of public places in my home state of Texas, where I've been told some pretty nasty stuff about Obama, his wife, gay people, transgender people, liberal people, etc. I just smile and move along. No point in getting so upset, and I don't plan on moving out of my home state. It's Texas, for God's sake. I just live with the fact that there are lots of not-so-nice conservatives around, and I don't feel the need to start a fight over it. Nor do I feel the need to start a thread on it.
