    Since conservatives are so hell-bent on teaching kids to exclude people, we should teach kids to exclude conservatives.

    Nearly every act of racism, homophophia, xenophobia, transphobia, misogyny, antisemitism and other bigotry ever committed has come from conservatives. It is not appropriate to keep relationships with such people.

    Conservatives are not a protected class. It is perfectly legal to deny employment, service and housing based on political orientation. Marginalize hate by marginalizing the haters.

      I agree with your first couple paragraphs, but I’m fairly certain denying employment solely on political belief is illegal

        Political affiliation is not a protected class at the federal level. If a city has an ordinance against it, that is specific to that city, but in the city where I live, it is not illegal. In fact it is quite common for Assistant DA’s and Sheriff’s Deputies to be replaced based on political affiliation when a new DA or Sheriff comes into office where I live. I live in a major metro area in the south.

          You don’t have to be a protected class to file a lawsuit for wrongful termination or a biased hiring decision

            It’s not considered wrongful where I live (major metro area in the south). It is standard practice. Prosecutors and deputies are regularly let go in large numbers based on political affiliation when a new DA or Sheriff takes office. It’s just considered part of the job around here.

    Everything is part of their bigger war to establish a theocratic fascist state with them at the top.

    Never trust any organization with “heritage” in its name.
