When a pastor can be negatively affected for liking a tweet of a Republican - in Alabama, no less - this isn’t just a hypothetical fear. It’s really there.

Blacks claim they are found guilty by white cops for “DWB - Driving While Black”. Conservatives are being judged guilty of “BWC - Breathing While Conservative” in many places. This comes from the allegedly “fair” and “tolerant” crowd.

Hopefully, our revenge come November 3rd.

We see the ‘Silent Majority’ at every Trump rally. Dementia Joe has ....... lol

It’s killing them.

One of the things that’s nice about being close to retirement, I have very few reservations about sharing my views if someone asks.

Strong liberals are “the only political group who feels they can express themselves” without fear of repercussions...

Keep runnin' your mouths, stooges, we're keepin' track.

Who are the facists???

Poll: 62% of Americans Say They Have Political Views They’re Afraid to Share

Afraid?

Probably true for many of them.

Not true for many others.

They simply know that it does not matter what someone says to the average prog.

They will demand a "conversation" in which they will accuse you of being hateful, selfish, hurtful and offensive for the crime of daring to have a differing opinion from the official prog opinion of that day.

It is simply a waste of time.

Of course! Liberals learned nothing from their WH campaign for Hillary. Also- that explains her melt down (theirs too) when she was defeated!!

Lots of support for Trump they COULD see was only the tip of the iceberg. They deluded themselves into believing that was ALL his support.

Here they are again still bullying and shaming Conservatives into silence and STILL believing they can get THEIR candidate into the WH!

That's because it can literally cost you your livelihood (and in a few cases even your life). You see stories everyday about someone getting fired because they made an innocent and perfectly reasonable comment about not supporting BLM or liking President Trump, or opposing some leftist scheme, or retweeted something from the wrong person. Things that a decade ago you could have said and nobody would have batted an eye. It's just not worth taking the chance if you have a good paying corporate job, you make the wrong offhand comment that somebody overhears and suddenly your career is in the toilet.

Most of us have gone into "Walk Softly and Carry a Big Stick" mode. We keep our heads down and say nothing, but you can bet on election day we'll be pulling out the big stick and voting for Trump.

[tatown]

Yes! lol

[MCEscherHammer]

I believe this is true...

Have wanted a MAGA hat for some time, but why paint a target for harassment or for a bullet in my head!

These ANTIFA types are mentally ill and/or willing to intimidate/harm any obvious Trump supporter...

I’ll hold any political statement for the ballot box on November 3rd!

And, if any of these chuckelhead thugs want to visit my home, I’ll have to introduce them to my friends, Mr. Smith and Mr. Wesson...

Silencing the majority is an absolutely essential goal of all communist and fascist revolutionaries. Therefore those people who allow themselves to be silenced by the tactics of intimidation are playing right into the hands of their enemies. “Silence in the face of evil is itself evil: God will not hold us guiltless. Not to speak is to speak. Not to act is to act.” ― Dietrich Bonhoeffer

I’m not “afraid” to share.

Where I live, it just a matter of not having the time or patience to deal with what “sharing” entails.

plus...

I like my car tires inflated.

Most sensible thing I have read all day. Worth repeating.

Thanks

Afraid for their livelihoods at minimum and their lives in many cases.

Ironically, the ones who take their careers away are just as afraid and probably agree.

Liberals believe the media and think everyone is liberal, it really is a hoot.
