Tell Us A Political Opinion That Makes You Stand Out In Your Party
In recent years, US politics has become so polarizing that many people have chosen sides and felt pressured to support all of the the beliefs of their political party or candidate.
In a recent online video, a TikTok user asked people to comment on a political opinion they hold that the majority of their political party disagrees with, and thousands of people shared their unconventional takes, with many people leaving comments like this one:
So, we're asking people in the BuzzFeed Community to share a political opinion they hold that makes those in their party look at them sideways.
Maybe you're a Republican who believes climate change is real and supports stronger laws when it comes to protecting the environment.
Maybe you're a Democrat who supports many of Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency cuts to the federal government.
Or, maybe you're a conservative who wouldn't personally get an abortion, but believes the right to have one should be legal in every state.
Whatever your opinion is, we want to hear it. Let us know your political affiliation and your opinion in the comments. Or, if you'd like to remain anonymous, use the form below. Your response could be featured in an upcoming post.

Ormond Beach police arrest man on federal warrant for threats against Donald Trump, others
Ormond Beach police said they arrested a 25-year-old man on Thursday, June 5, on a federal warrant for making online threats against President Donald Trump, Elon Musk, and others. Sheldon Biddle, whose last known address was in Ormond Beach, has made antisemitic statements and radical threats of violence, police said, while also expressing hostility toward law enforcement. Threats were made against Trump, billionaire Elon Musk, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and Deputy FBI Director Dan Bongino on an X social-media account determined by the Secret Service to be Biddle's, according to Ormond Beach police. Court records show that this was the second time Biddle had been arrested for making threats against Trump and the others. On April 11, Ormond Beach police charged him with written threats to kill or do bodily injury, or conduct a mass shooting or an act of terrorism. He spent two days in jail before bonding out. Records show he was jailed again on Thursday, June 5, as a fugitive from justice and was being held without bond. On April 7, one of the posts read: "If I was in DC I'd shoot you @netanyahu." On April 2, the account posted: "Trump is gonna get assassinated for being a treasonous traitor." A March 19 post read: "You're gonna eat led tyrant boy," in response to a post by Bongino. A YouTube account associated with Biddle included video titles "Joe Biden molested me" and "Shooting up the YouTube headquarters for all the censorship." Biddle has at least three previous arrests after which he pleaded no contest to charges including possession of a concealed firearm, battery (domestic violence), trespassing and resisting an officer without violence. In each case, the State Attorney's Office withheld adjudication. In 2023, he was charged with resisting arrest with violence, a felony, but the charge was reduced to a misdemeanor and moved to county court, records show. "We have absolutely no tolerance for threats of violence in our city," Ormond Beach Police Chief Jesse Godfrey said. "No one should feel unsafe in their place of worship, neighborhood or community, and we will act swiftly to hold offenders accountable."

Sunday shows preview: Trump-Musk spat leaves admin reeling; ‘Big, beautiful bill' hits speed bump
President Trump and tech billionaire Elon Musk's feud spilled out in public on Thursday, with the world's richest man and the world's most powerful leader trading barbs that engulfed news cycles in Washington and abroad. Musk, a Trump ally, was vocal about his disappointment with Trump's 'Big, Beautiful Bill' currently sitting in the Senate. Musk, who spent millions during the 2024 presidential campaign to help elect Trump, called the massive piece of legislation a 'disgusting abomination.' Trump then weighed in on Thursday at the White House during German Chancellor Friedrich Merz's visit, saying, 'Elon and I had a great relationship. I don't know if we will anymore.' The spat intensified, with Musk floating the prospects of creating a third party, claiming that without his political contributions, Trump would not be victorious against ex-Vice President Harris in November and accusing the president of having ties to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Trump threatened to cut off federal contracts awarded to Musk's companies. Later on Thursday, Musk signaled he might be open to brokering a truce with the commander-in-chief. After speaking with several news outlets Friday morning, Trump suggested he is ready to move on and indicated that he will not be speaking with Musk for a while. Trump told CNN Friday morning that he is 'not even thinking about Elon' and added that the SpaceX and Tesla CEO has 'got a problem. The poor guy's got a problem.' In the Senate, Trump's agenda bill, which passed the House chamber last month, has sparked concerns and criticism from GOP senators. The first group of GOP Sens., which consists of Susan Collins (R-Maine), Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska), Jerry Moran (R-Kan.) and Josh Hawley (R-Mo.), are arguing they could vote against the bill if it slashes Medicaid benefits. Others, including Sens. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) and Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) have previously said they would not back the legislation if it retains the current debt and spending levels. The GOP can have three defections total if all Democrats vote against the legislation. Sen. Johnson will be on CNN's 'State of the Union where he will likely discuss if any of his concerns regarding the 'Big, Beautiful Bill' have been addressed. As part of a push to root out waste, fraud and abuse within Medicare, Sen. Thom Tillis (R-N.C.) said this week that a bill sponsored by Sens. Bill Cassidy (R-La.) and Jeff Merkley (D-Ore.), that would crack down on Medicare Advantage overpayments known as 'upcoding,' could be inserted into Trump's massive legislation. Cassidy will be on NewsNation's 'The Hill Sunday,' where he will likely discuss the latest on the reconciliation package along with his recent visit to the White House. NewsNation's 'The Hill Sunday': Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-La.); Rep. Sarah Elfreth (D-Ma); U.S. Chamber of Commerce chief policy officer Neil Bradley.
