It's no longer about what is politically or economically polite, it's about maintaining our dignity as human beings. This is a step in the right direction, but it's too little, too late.
That doesn't shut down the root cause of the trump support mindset, it only legitimizes it further.
That said, this guy wasn't fired for being a trump supporter, he was fired for spouting idiotic /pol/ memes while being a fuckwit.
Being a "fuckwit", a racist, a Trump supporter these are all just different faces of the same beast, they all revel in the humiliation and dehumanization of those who they see as weak.
I am liberal and economically, fortunate man, I stand nothing to lose of my own by the polices of Trump, if every immigrate is deported and every Muslim is killed, I have no reason to fight against these things, except my belief that to cause the suffering of the innocent is evil.
While one can never truly speak to a man's character, his behavior is evil and will, in time, be punished, if not by us then by a greater power. That power whether it economic, foreign, in the legacy we leave as Americans, or possibly even an angry god, it will judge him and us as well for our complacency.
And what does this have to do with maintaining dignity as human beings? If you are in the country legally there is no problem here! What people who voted for Trump are tired of is underwriting the demands of a group of people who showed up uninvited and who have decided they don't even care to assimiliate and instead just make demands of everyone else. It's ridiculous and it is well past time it stopped. Immigrate legally, work for a living, contribute to your community.
Get out of your bubble once in awhile.
As for my dignity, perhaps I'm more sensitive then most, but this feels humiliating for me. I will not protect a man who would grab, my sister, my mother, my daughter and rape her with his hands. End of story.
