I work for a very liberal company with lots of liberal folks. It’s a good job and I am paid well but feel like I spend a lot of time biting my tongue. Anyone else in this situation? How do you survive?

I work for a fortune 500 and many times I've heard my boss say "I've asked to fire him/her, but HR won't let me because in today's culture it is nearly impossible to fire a black person."
I'm a blue collar guy and I got into an altercation with a black coworker back in February that began with him throwing a ladder at me then me asking what his problem was and then he got in my face and started yelling about how he was gonna kick my ass/ knock me out etc. over me being a trump supporter. I kept saying "do it then" and he never did. But then HE went to HR to tell them how I made him uncomfortable and all this shit. Fortunately there were many witnesses that I didn't say anything over the line and he started it with the ladder or else they probably would have fired me. Other guy eventually got fired but it took them a week and prodding from other coworkers that he needed to go.
