Yes you can.

If you're in a bible study group, meeting at a church or in someone's home, and you have certain tenets about what is acceptable to discuss, you can absolutely ban that speech, or even that person for disagreeing with the stated philosophy of the group and violating the rules of the group.

In other words, they should go along with the propaganda. People like you seriously scare me.

Exercising one's rights always has consequences. Some good, some bad.
It is also their right to disassociate with those they have an issue.

Me neither. That's why I tried not to express my anti-Trump or pro-mask opinions in certain social situations.

No contradictions here.

I can walk into my office and say "I'm conservative." or "I'm a Republican." and not worry about getting fired. I can't walk into my office and say "**** black people." and not worry about getting fired.
But can you walk in and say **** BLM and not worry about getting fired or harassed? Or even say BLM is a marxist hate group?

Can you and do you say anything you want outside of CD? Especially interested if you live in a liberal area like I do. We KNOW it's safe to talk in Florida.

The interesting thing is as moderate who lives in the south I cannot bring up liberal points . Down here a lot of people are far right nuts. Neither extreme is good, and you can't solve problems from either side of the spectrum when you are so far to one side.

You're A-OK with that?
Yes, because political party affiliation is not a protected class. Political beliefs are not a protected class.

It's very, very interesting that you did that.
The irony of your post & all the other cons posts is very very ironic.

Correct, I already stated that.

Shrug, it’s not my problem that cons refuse to evolve & start respecting others. I’m curious what agenda you’re referring to though & perhaps you can provide examples, legit of course, of said agenda.

I am sure Germans were afraid to say they supported Jews, too.
