Yes, definitely. But there might be more like-minded people than you think. I am not in a position to voice my ideas publically, and generally come off as more neutral, with the small intentional slip here and there. It's unfortunate, but I doubt most people would assume I believe the things I do.
I have this happen to me a lot. Sometimes I'll ask someone a bunch of questions to get them to clarify their stance more, and they'll walk away thinking I agree with them! I've found that people love to talk about their own stances so much.
Hey, if they think you agree with them, they are less likely to immediately write you off.
