We have a new Presidential candidate to support. The fact that she was the VP and has a certain reputation established is a good beginning. Who is to be her running mate, or do we know yet? There are some definite plusses in this change age and gender being at the top of the list.
The nation needs younger people in the driver’s seat. The days of the old men hopefully are over. Age is supposed to come with wisdom, but often it does not. Take the current older person that wants to be re-elected. This has got to be screwing with the Trump game plan because they were going to keep on about Biden’s age and mental capacity Now his acid tongue and septic personality have to shift gears to address the new threat.
Speaking of threats the Trump campaign was the target of a threat, a shooting that missed but it was an attempt. Now it seems that the followers of the great leader are upset because there have been comments about this event that were not supportive. The people that made those comments are using their 1st amendment right to express an opinion that the cult members find unacceptable. The cult now is tracking down these people and harassing them for not worshiping in the temple of Trump.
The cult is pressuring the employers of these folks to fire them, and threats are being lodged against the person, the families and the employers of the person. All this effort to cause harm and to create discord needs to stop. Members of the cult have made bold statements about how the enemies of Trump could end up dead. Has anyone gone to the trouble of tracking that person’s information out and then having them fired from their jobs. If that has happened it has not made the news.
Expressing an opinion is protected regardless of the comment. You are not to threaten people but an opinion of the outcome of an incident is hardly a threat. Back channeling to cause harm to anyone who stated an opinion should be treated as a threat and dealt with accordingly. Treat others as you would be treated.
We all do not like the same things or people. We express either positive or negative opinions in a million different ways. If in this case the response is negative, remember that it is just an opinion and you are expressing yours by threatening (an illegal act) that person’s well being. Let’s hear it for the rule of law and start punishing the one breaking the law.
Business leaders should take the stance that what an employee says regarding this incident has nothing to do with them. In the same breath they should say they protect the right of the person to state their opinion and that is the end of it. Our employee base has people that will vote for Trump and others that will not, we don’t ask nor hire or fire on the basis of race, religion, or political party and we are not going to be the scapegoat for anyone’s bias.
The bully gets his way if you let him. This is the tactic that is being used and the media is reporting it. The people who are caring about this nonsense should be named as well as the person that made a negative comment, to be fair. Then we should go back to that person’s employer and see if they are going to dismiss that person for being loyal to the cult.
Civility seems to be what is expected at this time, and yet, the request is now coming from the people who have shown zero civility since 2015 when their leader began his campaign for office. Decency, honor, civility and kindness are traits that have not been demonstrated by the cult so why does the cult expect to be given any of those things? Again you reap what you sew.
