“They’re always playing defense for fear of upsetting Democrats.”
I think some of these Democrats have people at all levels of government who when instructed or otherwise prompted, can make life difficult for friends and family members of Republicans in general. The private sector has its activists working out of HR departments or other positions of “authority” and they’re organized to seek out, identify, monitor and sometimes eliminate people deemed too conservative or not liberal enough to fit in.
