Thank you publik skrewls and the parents who are happy to use them to raise their kids.
But doing the same to obama/biden supporters would be morally wrong and racist...
We have managed to raise a generation of fascists.
Today’s Millenials will whisper to their grandchildren in the basement “there was a time in the USA when you were allowed to say whatever you wanted.”
Of course 20 minutes later they will be picked up, never to be seen again, by the Ministry Of Truth Officers who caught it on the housewide version of Alexa.
Hitler was very popular with the young.

More Americans need to read this.
He had those brown shirt camps for kids.
“We have managed to raise a generation of fascists.”
No. We let someone else do it. We failed to exercise proper oversight.
This is a very disturbing trend.
In the past, a lot of young people didn't care about politics and had no strong opinions. That's not great, but it's not terrible. They knew that they didn't know the answers.
Today, everything is political, and everyone is politicized. They still don't know the answers, but they sure think they do. I recently had a conversation with a young person who thought I was a "terrible person" because I had doubts about the benefits of masks. I tried to discuss the mask issue, but it suddenly turned into a BLM discussion. The magic of diversion. So, I was willing to have a discussion about BLM. And the discussion suddenly became about poor people suffering under capitalism. Oh? Shall we now discuss economics?? Are you prepared for that one? They "gave up on me" and ran away.
They just want to shout and declare victory. If you don't play along, they change the subject. They have no idea who intellectually weak they are.
I don’t know what the big deal is. It is absolutely okay (and legal) to fire someone who disagrees with you politically. If I owned a company and someone showed up every day with a Biden or Hillary or Udumbo sticker on their car, I would likely fire them. There is no right to free speech in a private setting and political beliefs are not protected under the Constitution. In most, if not all, states you can fire anyone for any reason unless they have an employment contract or they can claim you discriminated against them based on race, sex, age, or religion.
“Violence never solved anything” except for most of history, including now the violence of the cancel culture that will take away your livelihood, key your car, graffiti your buildings, publish your address so your kids can be threatened, toss incendiaries, etc.
You think I would get in trouble if I fired everybody who works for me that doesn’t support trump?
Now this is the real problem...these kids are brain-washed...unable to distinguish right from wrong...
That's what you CAN do.
But should you?
I think what we're seeing is a set of companies firing good workers because -- perhaps 5 years ago -- the worker said something on social media.
Yes, you CAN fire someone for that. But SHOULD you? What kind of country are we?
“People throw the word “fascist” around today much too carelessly for it to be useful. If that word can be applied to an everyday person, however, someone who believes you should lose your job based on who you vote for is a pretty sturdy working definition.”
Why, yes it is. In fact, soon little kids in school will be taught that it’s a good thing to tell their teacher if their parents support Trump. That they will be rewarded if they do so.
So it’s maybe a good thing that schools will be cancelled.
And they call our president “Hitler.” Hah! As if.
That particular name-calling, I think, is called “projection.”
We have AntiFa Universities now.
Yes, that's a different question. If it's a valuable employee, probably not. But if the person supports candidates who are or will make things more difficult for my business, it would be difficult to sign that paycheck every week.
“You think I would get in trouble if I fired everybody who works for me that doesn’t support Trump?”
You may or may not get into trouble, but if you were somehow able to find out (people tend to hide their support for him), you might find yourself with a pretty small number of employees.
And those that were left would be as dumb as Biden is.
So you’d be in quite a pickle. ;)
And this will not change until we start getting them fired.
