Ignoring for a moment the moral judgement of whether conservatism is "right" or "wrong" ...
I imagine this is probably how closeted gay people felt for a long time, and still do outside of places like the Bay Area. It's poetic justice. The playing field will probably wobble back and forth for a little while and white conservative men will learn to play by the new rules - claiming victim status is as good a place to start as any.

- jerkstate 9y agoso you're saying it's wrong to shame/shun/undermine those at work because you disagree with their opinions on public policy?
- quotemstr 9y agoI am saying that it's wrong to shame people at work for their political opinions and I can't fucking believe that this stance is controversial. I will go further and say that politics doesn't belong at work.
- maxerickson 9y agoOur words are insufficient. I guess you are talking about big issue politics when you say they don't belong at work, because it is absurd to say that people shouldn't consider the political consequences of the things they create or actions they take on behalf of their jobs.
- RightMillennial 9y agoThat sounds awfully toxic. Isn't it wrong? Work should be a professional environment where your political opinions are completely irrelevant.
