tbf I think it's less conservative than it used to be. I bet it leans liberal.

When I think of Chicago's political leanings I think of Strauss and Bloom, both of which are pretty damn conservative. However, they've both been gone for quite awhile now.

I couldn't help it, I'm sorry. Too much recent binge watching of Archer.

My guess would be:

Barley
Hilde-----Slippin----------------------Nobody cuz all the lady TLSers are awesome
Salander

I'm sorry Jettison, I have no idea where to put you. I think on the left with all of us, but I'm not sure how left.
I have no evidence for any of this. Entirely speculation, I have no clue really.

Sounds accurate to me!

There are really so few of us who are regulars

I'm glad I love our boys or else it would get lonely.

The only thing you could probably say I'm "conservative" about is gun rights. But even then I think regular safety and proficiency training should be mandatory and gun show/online sale loopholes should be closed. That and our healthcare/mental health system is seriously messed up, but that's a huge issue by itself.

I come from a small family business background, pretty conservative on taxes (besides the very top tax brackets probably). Granted, I'm from a very liberal state (bet you can guess by my user name) and maybe I won't see myself as conservative if I go somewhere else for school.

I do think we could use some more 0Ladies but I can also appreciate that the anonymous internet has historically not been particularly kind to women.
If I weren't as much of a hardass I would have totally been scared off this forum. I had a self-professed liberal have a pretty visceral reaction to me in the beginning. I feel like as a woman you take different tactics on the forums as a way of dealing it. I describe some of them as follows:

The Barley: Be very nice and funny and lovely to everyone. Speak your mind, but always allowing for the option of friendship. Everyone will then love you, because you are always nice, in addition to being funny and clever.

The Hilde: You say what you think and you do not soften your meaning. You leave open the possibility of reconciliation, but you respond to things you disagree with in the in-your-face Italian way you were raised. The animosity you face only serves to make you rage harder, because you don't want to give into the maleness of the internet.

Aww shucks :')
