It's weird, but the people who seem to like me are usually on the conservative side. I say weird, because I'm a democrat.
What do you think? |

| Well, people with Asperger's syndrome often tend to be formal/polite, obsessive, unemotional, routine oriented, technical/analytical, etc. These traits go well with many conservatives. Engineers, for example, tend to be conservative. |

I guess you're a moderate liberal.

Maybe they don't like you because you're a self-liking liberal amongst self-hating liberals.

Or it could be because socialists/social democrats (the real meaning of the term "liberal" in the U.S.) don't like liberals.

Are you inclined towards classical liberalism? That might have something to do with it. |

That is right. The modern liberal is really a Statist. A person who believes the government is the major or most important factor in society. Liberals are at root authoritarian. That want an all powerful State with which they can do Good.

These are very intelligent guesses, but I'm not sure if that's the cause. I tend to keep my political leanings to myself. They still just seem to automatically dislike me. |

O.K. Do you bathe sufficiently often? Do you brush your teeth? To you avoid busting wind in the middle of a conversation? Are your manners good? Are you just being overly sensitive?

Can you give some details on your behavior, dress, and demeanor? Who are these liberals who seem to dislike you? Do conservatives or libertarians seem to like you better? Socialists? Anarchists? |
