Realistically, being in a blue state, if i were to say anything but the most politically popular thing about this topic on Twitter or Facebook, and a colleague got wind of it, I'd get fired, and be essentially unemployable in any of the big tech hubs. Unless I wanted to work for the next Uber-like company that will inevitably get destroyed online (even if its for good reasons).

The social price is extremely high now. It's very nearly as bad as being tossed in jail.
