Don't be extra. I'm just saying, pretending that someone's political affiliation in this climate is just this extra thing that'll have nothing to do with the job ever is just weird denial. Or you just don't give a shit because it doesn't negatively effect you, which would be understandable if you just owned it.
"They just didn't seem like a good cultural fit." The best part is, it wouldn't even be a lie.
Figured everyone's speaking from different job perspectives. I work in an office of 20, so we know each other. Everyone from "I didn't vote" to "Obama is a Muslim", it always just came up somehow.
Just a guy who knows how the real world works instead of reveling in power-trip fantasies.
Okay, so let's go through this like we always do (not you and I, but we collectively as people who have no interest in abiding or condoning supporting Trump): Trump is a racist. The GOP are racist and push racist policies. People who voted for Trump, and people who vote GOP, are supporting those positions with their vote. Ergo, they are racist, or they are supporting racism. Pretty ironclad logic there. But, hey, feel free to argue of behalf of Trump supporters and GOP voters that they aren't racist, I would like to hear that.
Nah, not really. You're either cool with racism or you want to see it eradicated so good people can live good lives and have the same freedoms and privilege other white people are afforded. If you hate racism, bigotry, homophobia, etc. you are not voting GOP. Next.
That's on you I guess. I don't want to work with racists if I have the choice otherwise, and thankfully I do. I certainly wouldn't want to be complicit in helping them as history is not going to look too kindly on them.
If someone came to a job interview with a klan hood on or a swastika armband, would you be cool with it because hey, it isn't impacting their work?
Yeah, it kind of gets that way when one side is cool with putting children in concentration camps. "Both sides" kinda goes out the window at that point.
Okay, so they voted for their one issue because it was worth the expense to them of furthering racism and bigotry. I guess we should all forgive them because they had no other choice except to get theirs while the getting is good.
This is more "both sides" crap. Yes, politicians lie. Trump on the other hand was transparent as glass, there was literally tape of him admitting to assaulting women, and bragging about it. He flat out asked Russia to intervene in our election. And they may not be readying their weapons, but they damn sure aren't going to ready them if they need to fight for minorities.
I am morally superior to racist pieces of shit, not sorry.
Racism. Isn't. An. Opinion.
Trump is a garbage person, but my guy, I work hard to love my neighbor even if I don't see eye to eye with them. There is far more common ground in our lives than uncommon ground, and when you let yourself get played into hating your neighbor, you lose.
Even when your neighbor believes you don't deserve the same basic rights they have? Even when they consider you subhuman?
This is a bad generalization of America IMO, but you're entitled to feel that way.
Thinking that America is racist is a bad generalization? Sorry you don't like the truth.
Yeah now it's starting to come out haha
I do have evidence. They voted for him. They voted for a racist. This is undeniable.
Being a "one-issue voter" doesn't exempt you from being criticized for choosing to ignore widely broadcast idiocy and frequently vaunted racism, sexism, authoritarianism, and xenophobia when voting for the most powerful figure in the world. Nor do the preexisting realities of politics begin to justify electing a compelte neophyte and regressive idiot like Trump. The only incredibly complex thing here are the justifications some people come up with to ignore and excuse these basic facts and their own personal failings.
