Similar thing happened with me, came home and roommate plus 3 of his friends were talking about 2016 election. I dont enter the conversation and am just making something to eat in the background. Eventually they ask me who I'm voting for. I say, "I dunno guys, kind of thinking about voting Trump." Instantly the entire room turns on me. I felt it shift.

Edit: this was before the wide spread internet by the way.
