We used to have very little to no discussions about politics at work until Obama was elected. The day after the 2008 election it all changed. Leftists were ready to "get in your face" long before Obama stated it. This for a defense contractor working on national security issues. The fact that many leftists were working for the company back in 2008 was disconcerting.

Can you do without the employer?
I can relate to this. The company policy had really not entered into it, but some employees started expressing the opinion as to how great Obama was going to be as president. I just explained that I hope they could agree to disagree, but sometimes they wouldn’t have it that way. Some still feel he was the greatest I guess. I am out of that situation now & hope they have gotten over it too. I never discuss our current president if I see them. If I did, it would probably start all over. And these folks were supposedly well-educated. Hard to figure.
