Of course, if you fire people who are supporting your opponent, then you will have caused 'very real repercussions in terms of discrimination and hostility' that effects them.
That's what creates the cycles of radicalisation and polarisation: he-said, she-said, tit-for-tat, eye-for-an-eye politics.
- slantedview 10y agoHow about firing someone for damaging your brand and your business through their personal actions? Billy Bush wasn't fired for the things Trump said, he was fired because his association with Trump during that incident caused real damage to his company's brand.
