In response to your comment about shitting where you eat, well, in my case it was on the company chat (Slack). Before the election, some people made a channel that was made "particularly for discussion around topics of the US election" (we're not from the US so I can't really see why they care anyway).
So we'd been happily discussing a bunch of innocuous things, but when the steal went down I made a couple of comments basically saying WTF and how this is ridiculous. But my TDS coworkers were loving it, saying how finally the 'tyrant' was out and how it was obvious Biden was going to win, etc.
Then on Jan 6th one of them said "Things just go from bad to worse. Trump supporters aren't just awful people, they're fucking terrorists".
It was soon after that that I got hauled into a meeting and told to stop talking about "race and privilege" because people were getting uncomfortable. So as you can imagine I was like WTF you guys started this channel and said that this was the place to discuss it. The boss was like "Just think about what you say before you say it". I was like "This other guy just called all Trump supporters fucking terrorists, what are you going to do about that?" and that's when they ended the meeting.
HA that's hilarious.
