The government has declared us to be “the enemy”—no point in making it easier for them to identify us before they decide to move to “active measures”.
I have had signs stolen from my yard, damage done to vehicles and even subtly been warned about future continued employment in my company for conservative views. Gee why is it such a mystery that any consercative would hide thier views? And all that paled in comparison to the clot shot pressue my wife and I endured for not getting it.
“Some people keep quiet because they don’t want to be beat up and have their property damaged by some lefty weirdo.”
and the prosecutors won’t prosecute and the MSM will not cover any such story.
I can understand that.
Once upon a time, we lived in an America where people of any station in life were not afraid to say what they thought about things, be they small things or major public questions.
It was a place where "sticks and stones may break my bones but names will never hurt me" was taught to every child, and later in life the equivalent "I may disagree with what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it" was believed by people of all political persuasions.
Then the Left got control of the levers of power, after loudly claiming (back in the '60s and '70s) that they were frozen out of power.
So they got power, and now are engaged in a mighty effort to freeze their opposition out of power. Their opposition being us.
And guess what? People are no longer willing to talk about their beliefs, unless those beliefs are virtue-signalling pablum.
One would think the polling industry would be concerned about this, but they switched to making money from pseudo-polls designed to sway opinion a long time ago, so la di da.
If you don’t hide at least some of your beliefs and opinions on the job you can easily find yourself in the EEO office explaning why you so offensive. Most likely it will be some fabricated accusation at least bordering on outright lie too.
Fortunately, I’m retired now at don’t answer to the Kommissars.
The bane of us pollsters (my gig for a few years). Polls can be extremely accurate, *if* people are being honest; but who can blame anyone for being afraid of saying they are pro GOP to an unknown person on the phone? I could cost you your job with this vindictive administration.
People can lose their jobs. People can be blacklisted they can lose their accounts.
Not me- i live in liberalsville NY and proudly drive around with a F*CK BIDEN sign on my car. I am itching for someone to come after me over it but ironically all i receive is applause and thumbs up.
Cue the Seinfeld "That's a shame" gif . . .
Many leftists are (or should be) ashamed of their kill-the-baby-and-the-economy leadership. Conservatives are concerned about property damage and personal injury.
I knew a doctor who was forced to retire even though he did nothing wrong but I had Democratic state official who’s now much more powerful. He is from another country but he thinks he was punished for voting for Republicans which he always does. He hates democrats. But the next election he went in and voted all for Democrats because he thought he was being punished for voting for republicans.
This 85,000 armed IRS agents?
“Some people keep quiet because they don’t want to be beat up and have their property damaged by some lefty weirdo.”
Those weirdo guys don’t survive here.
Even in the “Blue” state of Hawaii.
Not in the rural areas.
It is “Shoot, Shovel, and Shut up”.
Regardless of Democrat party laws.
A volunteer for Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) was brutally attacked while canvassing for the campaign in Hialeah, Florida, leaving him with a broken jaw and internal bleeding.
Good for you! I don’t hide my beliefs either. Although lately the pro-Liz Cheney RINO bunch is fun to taunt! I just wear my camo MAGA hat in town and enjoy their glares!!
I could lose my job if I were outspoken. So I play it more subtle and point out hypocrisies that can be arguable on either side so that they cannot claim I was one side or the other.
