I might be reading your comment wrong, but I can't see how you can support silencing opinions (yes, even ones that promote hateful sentiment) through fear of being fired or similar witch-huntey behavior.

That doesn't shut down the root cause of the trump support mindset, it only legitimizes it further.

That said, this guy wasn't fired for being a trump supporter, he was fired for spouting idiotic /pol/ memes while being a fuckwit.

The person you replied to didn't say anything about silencing opinions, and neither did TFA. Free speech is not about speech without consequences.

The Trump mindset is will never be shut down it's returned again throughout history leading to death and bloodshed whenever it takes hold, we can't stop people think the way they do because hatred and xenophobia are part of human nature, but that is not the nature of our American society. One we build as a people with civility. It is not the "Trump mindset" we strive to teach our children.

Being a "fuckwit", a racist, a Trump supporter these are all just different faces of the same beast, they all revel in the humiliation and dehumanization of those who they see as weak.

I am liberal and economically, fortunate man, I stand nothing to lose of my own by the polices of Trump, if every immigrate is deported and every Muslim is killed, I have no reason to fight against these things, except my belief that to cause the suffering of the innocent is evil.

While one can never truly speak to a man's character, his behavior is evil and will, in time, be punished, if not by us then by a greater power. That power whether it economic, foreign, in the legacy we leave as Americans, or possibly even an angry god, it will judge him and us as well for our complacency.

Is this the tolerance of the left I've been hearing about? 'Love trumps hate' and all that?

I confused by this, I don't see the parallel your drawing.

You're crazy. I could say the exact same thing about Hillary Clinton: That we have a moral obligation to fight those who use government to pursue their own ends. American voted and just because you don't like the outcome does not give you any special rights or obligation to be anything but polite.

And what does this have to do with maintaining dignity as human beings? If you are in the country legally there is no problem here! What people who voted for Trump are tired of is underwriting the demands of a group of people who showed up uninvited and who have decided they don't even care to assimiliate and instead just make demands of everyone else. It's ridiculous and it is well past time it stopped. Immigrate legally, work for a living, contribute to your community.

Get out of your bubble once in awhile.

Try to do the same thing with HC, it will interesting to see what the results of that would be, I mean you could have a point, but I think there's a reason this is Trump we're talking about.

As for my dignity, perhaps I'm more sensitive then most, but this feels humiliating for me. I will not protect a man who would grab, my sister, my mother, my daughter and rape her with his hands. End of story.
