Have you ever been mistaken for another ideology?

When I tell people I'm studying economics or am a practicing Catholic, they generally think I'm a conservative. When I tell people I support Obama, they often think I'm just another left-libertarian college kid.

People often assume that the fact that I'm a Christian makes me a fundamentalist, so I guess in a way, yes.

If I were to stereotype you politically, without knowing your views, I would base my assumption on your liking for county music.

Yep, basically.

Haha.

Everyone says that im a Extreme Conservative because of my Far-Right Views on Social issues.

[k-onmmunist]

yeah. i was discussing the european union with someone and based on my position with that, they assumed i must be a tory.

One time a couple of years ago I was asked by a classmate if I liked Obama.  When I said I didn't, he asked me, "So you're more conservative?"  I responded with, "I'm more liberal.", and he seemed to think that was a little weird.

Happens a lot with me too. I get a kick out of explaining that no, Obama is too conservative for me, not too liberal.

[nolesfan2011]

absolutely, mostly by bot party line dogmatic people but yea I self id as a progressive populist, and I've been called a conservative, a tea partier, a libertarian, a raving liberal, and a socialist.. the most extreme terms are probably trolling, but still.. people have issues getting a finger on my views.. I'm not a straight line Dem, but I'm by no means conservative or ultra liberal.

I'm about like a progressive 60s Democrat

This'll be an interesting one.


I'm mistaken for a pro-Obama liberal quite often (typically when this happens I just steer the discussions to the topics I'm actually liberal on).

[TJ in Oregon]

I get mistaken for a liberal all the time. I think it's some combination of living in a super-liberal area, being a grad student, and that I'll argue with conservatives as much as I argue with liberals. I don't think I ever really get mistaken for a far-left guy though.

[Supersonic]

Many conservative libertarians have said I belong in the Labour Party for my authoritarian and neo-con views. Yeah.

[Chancellor Tanterterg]

I've been mistaken for a conservative, even a tea-partier on three occasions (God knows how ).

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

Yes, liberal who have a problem with refugees coming in across the border.

My Dad called me a Democrat once. I do agree with the Democrats on a few(maybe several  social issues) but economically I don't agree with the Democratic base. With some of the Southern Blue Dogs I can agree with them on some economic things though but thats not what passes for the Dem base these days. I call myself a Northeast Republican.
