You said you’re taking away rights. That means the idea is un American and terrible. The idea doesn’t scare me. The idea is STUPID. Think about it. No really THINK.
Here’s a for-instance: you run a business. Small business. A few employees. You find out one of them is Antifa. You of course don’t want to support Antifa in any way, so you navigate your local labors laws and fire that POS. Hands washed, all good.
UNLESS your law goes into place. Then all of a sudden HOW you found out matters. If he tells you can fire him. But if you found on by social media you’re stuck with him.
You see how stupid the idea is now. You’re breaking freedom of association AND making an enforcement nightmare where how somebody finds out an employee is a POS is more important than them being a POS.
Just doesn’t work. Logistically bad. Constitutionally bad. All around BAD.
Correct. You would need a rock solid work related reason to fire someone. But a law such as this would protect far more normal Americans than leftists. It would protect people like Melissa Rolfe, Eric Wuestenberg, the Central Park dog walker lady, the Costco guy in this story who is the victim of a busybody. Remember, corporations are not conservative. They are cowardly and spineless and will cave to the SJW mob. So we are not protecting antifa members here. Not by a long shot. We are protecting normal every day Americans who are afraid to speak their mind on the most basic of issues. They’re afraid to wear American flag T-shirts, MAGA hats in public, They are afraid to tweet. They are afraid to make contradictory comments on liberal friends Facebook post. I don’t think you realize just how chilled free speech has become. Something has to be done. And the last thing I’m worried about the freedom of some spineless company to fire an innocent person.
