Somehow I don't think it would have been a big deal and that driver IF he lost his job would have been making the rounds on the late night Lefty talk shows...
I mean, lets assume you responded in hast and this is a true Freudian slip based on previous posts of yours I have seen.
You are either saying MAGA and BLM are equal(which your previous posts seem to not believe) and both ok

He should absolutely have been fired, but you raise an interesting point. If a FedEx driver refused to deliver to a house flying a Confederate flag, I'm guessing he would not have been fired.
The guy has a job to do, and even if he despises certain politicians, ideology, etc., he is still expected to do his job.
It would be no different than a driver refusing to deliver to Trump supporters or those with NRA stickers. Both are wrong, and I agree with FedEx firing him.
He would not get a beer from me, as I'd rather give a homeless guy a beer, because he likely has more sense than this FedEx fool.
That's not really how argument by analogy works, though, is it? Postulating an unfounded hypothetical and using that as a basis for a claim of double standard doesn't really establish any sort of basis that the double standard exists in real life.

So you admit, his analogy makes no sense, great.
