As you note you have just begun. It will of course depend on the community. But you should know that the folk world is jingoistically liberal, alt lifeways, socialist and tightly knit making it difficult for people with other views to come in from the outside. This is particularly true for storytellers. I can tell one of the big leaders wondrous stories for hours with approvial but they still want me to sit at their feet an evening a month before you get any where near a stage. Always scares them to run into tellers at the professional level who just happen to get in through the back door of a venue. I came to learn that the best venues are not formal stages but people in line for the restroom who really need a few good short stories. Grand applause all the time.

No I dont push my views. Sometimes I state them or politely disagree.
Then I'm generally locked out.

No chip just bruises and disapointment in exchange for my investments and promotions.
