We need a code phrase or something to identify ourselves as liberals,

Especially those of us in red states.

For instance, I was told in church that early Christians identified themselves by casually drawing a fish in the sand, to determine if another person was of the same persuasion.

Saying something referring to “friends of Bill’s,” is code for AA.

Got any suggestions for us liberals? Especially boomers. It ticks me off that so many people think boomers are all Dotard voters.

Although I have only voted for one Republican (a governor) in my lifetime, I am a liberal first and a Democrat only as long as they support my philosophy.

I imagine that it can feel unsafe at times when one is surrounded by lots of red folks and you don't know if there are any allies near by. Maybe saying something referring to "friends of Michelle's"....
