Don't for a moment think it is just a city/rural thing (with a bunch of conservative country bumkins).

Many people having non-leftwing ideas simply hide it. Since most workplaces have become politicised and hostile to conservative/right/slightly right of center views, people just hide it. Some people (including me) even engage in fake virtue signalling.

Polling (both opinion polling and actual elections) show that it is very strongly an urban-vs-other thing.

I said "just" a rural urban thing. No doubt there are more leftwingers/liberals in cities. But it is not nearly as uniform as your experience would suggest.

Polling also said that Hillary would win the election, and brexit won't happen. People, including me, lie to pollsters.
