Forty-four percent of Americans younger than age 30 believe a company is correct in firing an executive because he or she personally donated to President Trump’s reelection campaign

These people are the American equivalent of the Taliban.

Is the same true of the 27% who approve of firing employees for supporting Biden?



Personally, I just describe both groups as immature little shits who should not be trusted with the franchise.

Is it legal? Probably. Political beliefs are not a "protected class" in most jurisdictions, and most States follow employment-at-will.

Were the poll respondents answering the first question or the second?

If you defend it, you support it.

Do you have an argument or just whataboutism? Get back to me when people start actually getting "canceled" for supporting Biden.

I think I was pretty clear.

It would appear that 71% of Americans under 30 are immature little shits who should not be trusted with the franchise. Clear enough?

I thought we were discussing an article summarizing a specific Cato study. My bad.

Indeed. And it was as I described.

It's a shame you can't hold more than one-dimensional ideas.

It is the left's nature. It is their history. It is there belief system that brooks no opposition to the Party Line.

Marxism never had a First Amendment, but it's had many mass murders, gulags and re-education camps.

As an adult in the middle of the 60s turmoil I would say the biggest difference in the left then as opposed to now deals with free speech.
The left were the champions of free speech. Most colleges created free speech spaces in courtyards or quadrangles. Anyone could express their opinion. Nobody had to listen but nobody condemned you for speaking.

Now, it's the exact opposite. The left is for censorship just like the Nazis. They are not interested in a debate.

So, in other words, the left was FOR free speech up to and until they wrestled control of all of the readily available platforms for it.

True but we are going to do it right this time. Everybody will be rich and no mass murders. But first we must rid ourselves of Trump supporters. Only then can utopia exist.

No,I think it's generational. The leftists who espoused free speech in the 60s still do. They are getting shouted down by the younger generation of leftists who hate free speech. That's why so many older leftist professors are losing their jobs because they dare to voice an opinion that doesn't tow the line.
