Trump Rally Fallout: Real Estate Agent Fired, Businesses Ripped, Vandalized After Social Media Posts (Chicago)
Chicago Sun-Times ^ | January 8, 2020 | Bob Chiarito

The professional fallout came quickly Thursday for a few Chicagoans who attended the “Stop the Steal” rally in the nation’s capital that later devolved into chaos and violence.

A city real estate agent was publicly fired after she posted to social media about attending the event. After workers at a tattoo shop posted about attending the rally, the shop was savaged on social media and was hit with graffiti accusing the store of employing “Nazis.” A Vietnamese restaurant, whose owners reportedly also attended the rally, was overwhelmed with negative online reviews.

Democrats are such nice people, aren’t they? At some point we need to toss liberals out of red states and just leave the union.

This news outlet is running with the story that all of the rioters were Trump supporters.

Will anyone on the left ever realize that if it’s ok to come after patriots because of their political beliefs that they will soon be next? They came for the Jews and no one protested...

They call themselves social justice WARRIORS.

They’re taking the name literally.

They’re frothing at the mouth communists and the violence and hate will only continue.

Cancel culture at its very best.

Small business can answer by quietly and exclusively hiring people with conservative bonafides - letting others go seek work with the governments and giant corporations they so love. Cancellation works both ways.

An angry mob, with near omniscient sight, that follows you everywhere...

That’s like a boot crushing your face forever.

It’s time to take it right back to these a-holes ... Go after the leftist - and use the same tactics. Give them a taste of their own medicine.

I am blessed to work in a very conservative office exactly like that! We say prayer openly for each other, some of us worship together, talk about politics without having to worry that we’ll “offend someone” and we conduct business with a distinct Christian/conservative approach. It works very well for us. I love my job!!!

AntiFa Takes Credit For Capitol Riot And Congress Bows Down
On January 6th, we witnessed Trump supporters doing just that with what appears to be the boots on the ground component (AntiFa, BLM) leading the way into the Capitol.

Doesn’t matter. The social media mob is not going after them for participating in the riot.

They are going after them for simply attending the peaceful part of the rally and posting it on social media.
