If any leftie at work brings up politics, your ONLY response should be:
It is wildly inappropriate to bring that up at work.
Then report them to HR for political harassment. Have every event tracked on paper, time, date, and things said.
Getting them fired would be the goal. Force them all out of work
Sten is 100% correct.
The battle is already joined. Fight it now with the weapons on hand. Fight to win.
You have exactly the tactic they use against politically sound Americans. Their tactic is to start yelling at you on the work floor until a manager comes up. Then they tell what you said that triggered their outburst and try to get you fired right there. This is a time for absolute self-control and well planned action. They are ripe for political harassment and they have no self-control.
