A Closet Republican

A Trump supporter says she encounters “looks of disgust and shock” and longs for events to bring together those with opposing views.

To the Editor:

Re “And in This Corner, Wearing a Red Name Tag …” (news article, Nov. 4), about events nationwide that bring people together in an effort to bridge the partisan divide:

As a Republican living in New York, I would like nothing more than to find a group like this gathering to discuss differing views civilly. I find myself checking all around me in a hush-hush manner before I express my support for President Trump’s policies. Looks of disgust and shock are what make me a closet Republican. I would love to “come out” and find some understanding and acceptance.
