You need to start keeping a bound diary, one with a permanent binding where pages can’t be removed. Write down everything anyone says to you that offends you, or threatens you...dates, times, names, etc. If you observe other Conservative co-workers being admonished, keep a record of that too. Keep the diary with you at all times, and keep it up-to-date. You may need it if you are ever disciplined or fired. I was told to do this by a lawyer many years ago. My case was different, and I never got fired, but documentation like this can be used in a court of law if ever needed...even Civil Rights cases. Protect yourself.

Seems to me that if they don’t tell you what you said that they found offensive you can’t avoid re offending them...Telling you you’ll be fired for saying something they then refuse to charecterize is grounds for some kind of lawsuit.

the japanese have a perfect phrase for this; Kuuki ga yomenai. you cannot read the air.

not knowing which next word will get you fired is a tough spot to be in. I’m usually too busy at work with work to talk politics, but if I did, I have a good idea of of who the snowflakes are.

Ask yourself if maybe deep down you want to get fired. If the answer is yes, wear red. If the answer is no, then stop talking about these four things at the work place: 1) politics, 2) religion, 3) wages, and 4) gender issues (this includes sex, among other things). I also worked in an office overwhelmed with liberals. Half the women were radical lesbians. However, I survived. You can, too.

The workplace is FOR WORK. It used to be a golden rule- you never discussed religion or politics at work.
I’ve notice that college football can cause trouble, too.

Documentation is critical and requires diligence. Most supervisors are very busy and have a tough time documenting properly. I've seen people on the ropes buy a couple of years with good documentation and a decent lawyer helping them.

In the long run, if they want you out they can get most anyone in a year or two.

“The Bible does say we are to obey those in authority, whether they be a boss or a government.”

This is proof the Bible has errors. Cuomo, the Virginia Devil, Obama, Hitler, others. Sure thing. Only on a case by case basis.

Tell your boss that hurts children.

Tell him you are offended when others hurt children.

Instead, you help and protect children.

Provide ZERO details.

Emotional arguments are irrational. Do not explain.
Avoid detail. Do not justify.

Say you feel uncomfortable. Emote, do not explain.

Then shut up. Emote repeatably.

Nobody should be fired for non-work-related comments made at work unless it interferes with their job performance. Supervisors would have to be able to prove, and document that through a series of evaluations that specific comments this person made from time-to-time was causing his/her work to suffer.

I worked as a Sergeant in NY State's Department of Corrections. They had an evaluation program where immediate supervisors had to fill out evaluation forms, sign them, and submit them for approval to their Watch Commander (Lieutenant). It was all a bunch of crap. We were were told we couldn't give officers a score of excellent because it wouldn't give them an incentive to be better. In defiance, I gave all the officers I evaluated an excellent. I was called in by the Watch Commander and asked why I had given them all an excellent rating, and I said it was because they were excellent. When he brought up the word-of-mouth rule that we weren't supposed to do that. I replied, then if we're not supposed to check the "excellent" box, why is it even provided on the form? He had nothing to say in response, and I left his office. He never questioned me again. One time he gave me an evaluation with his own personal comments on it. I refused to sign it, and he ended up having to change his comment because it was his own personal opinion, not based on any actual evidence he could provide to back it up. Can't remember what his comment was, but it was out-of-line, and had no place on an evaluation form. He probably didn't think I'd challenge him on it. When he presented me with a corrected evaluation, after I read it, and approved of it, I signed it.

As a friend and I’m not being sarcastic you should be looking for another job. They will now find a way to get rid of you. Sad but true.

Hold a news conference, and PUBLICLY SELF IDENTIFY as a Black, Trans-sexual, Lesbian. You’ll be absolutely invulnerable to anything but reality, and we all know that concept has NEVER existed in the liberal universe.

Sir.

From some one who has been there. Do the following.

Read SJWs Always Lie: Taking Down the Thought Police

https://smile.amazon.com/SJWs-Always-Lie-Thought-Justice-ebook/dp/B014GMBUR4/ref=sr_1_1?crid=FVJ49K0FC22Z&keywords=sjw+always+lie&qid=1579471105&sprefix=sjw+al%2Caps%2C165&sr=8-1

Make a plan to get out. I mean it. Those conversations were to set a paper trail. Your days in that firm are numbered.

Start documenting EVERYTHING (the book highlights this). You may need it if you choose to litigate.

Your choice. One way or another, you days there are numbered.

I used to work for a Koch company.

I was asked, by HR “Why are you donating to a PAC other than Americans for Prosperity? “

I said I preferred to keep my political opinions at home.

Another place tried like mad to get me to donate to the United Way, up to the point of publicly shaming (posted my name on the BB) me as being “Greedy”. When I posted my charitable donations for the last two years, it made the blue in management mad, but the union guys loved it!

Work is for work, but it is best to figure out what team the management plays for.

".... Feels sometimes like there are traps being set for me...."

Wake up. Traps ARE being set for you. They're sending you signals in big red crayola. Your employer is getting ready to fire you. They don't need a reason.

Get your resume updated and start looking for a new position NOW before the floor falls out from under you.

Don't think it's going to happen? Think again. Been there done that.
