Not me, but my wife works out here in an office with a bunch of ultra-liberal women. No way in hell she's mentioning the fact she voted for Trump

The trump poster in my office speaks for itself. No time for hostility, they have work to do.

I experience hostility at work for being consistent in applying the rule of law at work even when I disagree with it. Considering my screen name that is concerning. The "I thought you were conservative!?" line never ceases to amaze me, and my "No classically liberal" reply almost never ceases to confuse.

I'll beat a muthafrickers arse for that.

Nigerian?
They are simply confused. Obama is Kenyan, not Nigerian. I'm sure it's an honest mistake.

I get hostility at work from Republicans and Democrats, especially when you explain to them that the two-party system is merely a ruse used to create narrow boundaries of acceptable political thought.

Nah. Only one dude in my office voted for Trump. He's a pretty stand up dude and well respected so we don't care about his politics. A couple voted for Hillary. They mostly keep to themselves. They aren't the crazy anarchist fricks committing crime. They just have their beliefs. Most of us were third party voters and we know our role.

Was having a discussion with a coworker about the travel ban and I refused to call it what its not, a Muslim ban.
We had opposing views but I thought we finished with a friendly disagreement. My point being that the countries involved are have been associated in some capacity with terror and dont have the systems in place to prove people are who they say they are. Unfortunately we live in a time when we cant just take their word for it and until we have a vetting solution a very small portion of the population will have to be inconvenienced for the safety of the rest.
Next morning was called into the office for my insensitivity and the co-worker will receive counseling. Apparently even the tiniest amount of discord is enough shake the very foundations of a snowflakes psyche.

Not work, but I am a college student and definitely experience some bad looks when I speak my mind about political topics. The day after the election was interesting.
I haven't experienced anything particularly "hostile" but certainly can sense people who hold disdain for my views and don't want me to talk about them.
