Can you do anything if you get fired due to social media pressure (activist, racist)

Not talking about his skin color. Not his real skin color anyways

I've seen plenty of bashing of Trump via FB.. and other Social Media... I use to get bashed on FB, I stopped posting long ago.. I was called every name imaginable.. alot was reported(by friends) But they were allowed to continue. The left were allowed free reign to assault those who opposed them. FB sux. They are Anti Trump, don't you know...

Because social media is dominated by the Left, you have to leave and go elsewhere.

Examples:
https://www.minds.com/
https://gab.com/
https://parler.com/
https://www.bitchute.com/

If you're not on the Left, you will be constantly abused, antagonized and harassed if you're hanging out on YouTube, FaceBook, Twitter and pretty much any big name website. They'll ban you for having the wrong opinions and the Far-Left Marxist mob will find you, come to your house, attack your family, might even burn your house down. The mainstream Dems won't speak out against it. Most enjoy seeing it happen. The best you can do is get off of the platforms that hate everything you believe in.

Yeah, it's getting ridiculous. It's getting to where you can't be a flaming bigot anymore without your employer objecting. It's tyranny I tell yah!!!

Now, now, the resentment of higher life forms isn't going to get you anywhere.

I wouldn't know, never have and likely never will play there.

Employment at will allows an employer or employee to end the relationship anytime, unless done in violation of EEOC.

I don't know.

But anyone who believes in forced association or voluntarily uses the channels of the State to impose their will on another is a POS.

I remember when conservatives used to cherish private property rights.

The Left's justification for taking an end run around the Constitution.

Funny how they didn't feel the same way when we were taking about Colin Kaepernick though.....huh?

I don't post anything on FB, I wouldn't want my employer to see, but then I don't use FB much and it's secure, meaning, I only have Family on it.....

It's gotten harder to keep your Facebook private, but you can still adjust your security settings so only your Facebook friends can see your posts.....

(Unless you post on a public page)

Also, it's a really bad idea to be Facebook friends with coworkers....

That's what LinkedIn is for.
