Hopefully some of those who support firing the executive have enough moral compass to support the firer regardless of what political views the firee expressed. It might be 31%, not 53%.
- baddox 6y agoWhy would you hope for that? Do you think there is no way to distinguish any qualities of different political views and that they are all equivalent?
- dmurray 6y agoNo, but I find "businesses should be allowed fire people they disagree with" a more tolerable position than "businesses should be allowed fire people I disagree with". My conclusion above is independent of my own political views. Supposing I were a fervent Trump supporter, I should hope in that case that the Biden-firers are mostly non-partisan supporters of right-to-work laws rather than haters of my guy. Not saying I'd expect that to be true, just that I'd prefer it.
- pessimizer 6y agoThat's a libertarian moral compass, not a general moral compass. Though I think people should be imprisoned for murder, it doesn't make me a hypocrite if I don't think people should be imprisoned for jaywalking. I don't have to support prison no matter what crime is committed.
- dmurray 6y agoWell, I consider that for at least one of the candidates, donating to him is not abhorrent enough to meet my bar for "this political speech should be censored". I'd have trouble taking seriously anyone who thought that both candidates were abhorrent enough to favour firing their supporters on ideological grounds. Allowing businesses to fire people who don't agree with them is much more acceptable to me than that.
