One of my best friends at U of M is a conservative. He has plenty of friends there from all over the spectrum. He doesn’t keep his beliefs hidden, but he’s not combative about them either.

Somehow, we’re great friends despite the U of M/MSU rivalry and our crazy political differences. As long as you’re not in someone’s face about them, no one cares. And if they do, walk away. He gets along just fine with liberals, moderates, etc. Ironically, the only people he can’t stand are religious right people, but that’s a different issue.



** Ann Arbor is pretty extreme conservative **considering the country is center right and Ann Arbor is pretty far left in general.



I don’t think this is what you meant to say…
The country is not center-right, btw, bearcats. It’s center. The issues about even out for left/right leans. Yes, more people self-identify as conservative than liberals. At the same time, more self-identify as Democrats than Republicans. But on individual issues, we’re pretty split.
