  This is common sense. Then they wonder why society is being torn apart by its fabrics. People these days engage only within their bubble and force others outside of their own bubble like this. It's your obligation in a democracy not to do that else you bear the responsibility of the consequences. Initially my post was getting upvotes but now it's at 0. Let ke clarify a bit more, the only reason I didn't speak up and put an end to this at past jobs was because I was being essentially held hostage by these people but if ever I can I will do everything I can to to put an end to this. Right now I work at a large multinational (not primarily US based) we have people from all over and not even once have I heard politics or religion mentioned even in passing. I have turned down higher paying jobs to stay here. But in my entire adult life working in the US this was the one thing that always made any job unbearably miserable. It's like trying to have a meal in a nasty public toilet. Oh and people who have time to post on HN and social media will tell you they don't have time outside of work to talk about these things.
