Censorship

And my point is why shouldn’t it be?

I see what you're saying. It doesn't sit well with me to see someone lose their job because of a political candidate they supported and/or worked for, as a general rule of thumb.

Some states do prohibit discrimination based on political affiliation, but most do not and there's no federal law I'm aware of. Why? I think a vast majority of people likely consider political affiliation to be more of a "choice" than something like sexual orientation, age, race or gender. And I think people also take religious views very, very seriously, hence the protection. I don't think a majority of people view political perspectives in the same light as any of those other things.

Ultimately, not sure how I feel about it. I have openly questioned the morals and judgement of people who support Trump. But would I have used that against an employee? No, I don't think I would have.

You would be fine with this if the reason was that person was gay?  Or black? Or Asian? Or Hispanic?  Or Catholic?  Or Muslim?  I don’t think you would.  Why should political affiliation matter?

There are discrimination laws that prohibit from firings based on race, sex, and religion.  

There are currently many places that don't have laws protecting sexual identity, I think their should be.  Yes.

But there is nothing protecting people from their choice of previous jobs as far as I know.  And I am fine with that.

Trump got the second most minority vote by a Republican since 1976 according to Forbes and exit polls.  Losing by 2% or less to Bush.   If his Administration is so racist, they did a horrible job at being racist.

No, Trump Didn’t Win ‘The Largest Share Of Non-White Voters Of Any Republican In 60 Years’




In 2020, President Trump garnered 12% of the Black vote: an improvement on his 8% showing in 2016. But 12% isn’t the best performance by a GOP nominee since 1960. As you can see in the above chart, several nominees equaled or exceeded Trump’s 2020 showing, including Nixon (15% in 1968 and 13% in 1972), Ford (17% in 1976), Reagan (14% in 1980), and Dole (12% in 1996).

Trump's average (10% over two elections) is, interestingly, the Republican average since 1976.

The VAST majority of minorities still voted for Biden.  The percentage of minorities that voted for Trump is LAUGHABLE when you pair it with people trying to use it to claim he did great with minorities.

You literally are trying to use how many minorities voted for Trump as evidence that he isn't racist.  You tried claiming he got the most since the 60s and were proven wrong.

I like having discussions with you on here, but you are losing credibility by trying to swim up this river.  All you have to do is look at the graphs in the article to see how pathetic the Republicans are doing with minorities.

He increased his own Black support by percentage election over election more than anyone since 1968.

You own a business correct??

very very rarely does a business increase its market share (customers who previously didn’t use the business’s products the previous year but did more so the next year than its competitors) by leaps and bounds year or year.  It can happen buts is rare.  Business’s tend to chip away at its competition.  
 

The same can hold true in this instance.  Chipping away at the Democrat stronghold on minority support.  I have never claimed that the R’s are doing great with Minority vote.  It is getting better though from recent struggles and that is what I have been saying.  
 

From what I read in your reply, R’s should never be happy or tout their increased support from minorities because R’s don’t hold the majority share yet.  I don’t subscribe to that notion.  Increasing support should be celebrated just like you would celebrate increasing market share even if you didn’t dominate the market in your chosen business field.  

I amended my statement after looking at your Forbes article didn’t I?  Wouldn’t that be a good thing?
