It is an important life lesson to know that you are usually best served by serving back to authority figures their own opinions.
Dress like them, behave like them and never disagree.
Only in privacy with loved ones who you trust, state your opinion.
This is well understood by my family who lived under Monarchy, Hitler and Communism.
There are times when saying nothing isn't enough. Fascists of all colours require you to signal your compliance.
Religions require you to reference God in statements, the Nazi's required a salute, the communists required you to refer to people as comrade, the enviros require yoou to fit the word sustainable in, currently required to denounce Trump early in conversations in many circles. The modern term for this is Vanity Signalling.
