The liberal echo chamber is a problem, but I don't think it's anywhere near the scale of problem as things like climate change, healthcare, consumer protection rollbacks, voter suppression, mass incarceration and deportation. These issues are more important than whether someone feels comfortable wearing a MAGA hat at Google.
Politics isn't baseball. The stakes are real, more so for some than for others. If you want to express a political view at work then the people to whom you are expressing it have a right to dislike you for it.

Do those people have a right to take action to negatively impact your career/livelihood/ability-to-provide-for-your-family because of your political views?
- ZeroGravitas 9y agoIf your political views negatively impact their career/livelihood/ability-to-provide-for-your-family then it would be a violation of the golden rule if they couldn't.
- thescribe 9y agoI feel like this is a strange position, because every single political issue does this to someone. Raise my property tax for schools? Time to blacklist you, I needed that money for elder care.
