I think that I may be in a similar position. When I read the post the phrase that I thought of first was an opinion bridger, which I think is my social network research leaching out. I have such an unusual portfolio of beliefs, views and opinions that I have never met someone who entirely agreed with me. As I hold views that might put me either side of the 'culture wars' in most people's divying up, I end up knowing, and even politically campaigning with an odd mix of people. I also find that this in turn humanises each side to each other because, despite my tactlessness and forthrightness, people get the idea that I'm in some way OK and then that at least opens up the possibility that people could think x or y and not be monsters/just hate people.

For [personal profile] liv I guess the answer is to befriend some nice right wing people, but a possible way to do that is to find something which puts you most at odds with your liberal bubble and seek out people through that.
