Can't wait for my Trumper boss to bring this up at work again as "Did you hear China secretly replaced the sun?"

That's fucked up. I don't even know my boss's politics, (as it should be). Do you have an HR department? This is a huge liability for your company...

It should be a huge liability, but the US is a fucked up place. Even “blue” states are full of people at work voraciously politicizing everything, always thinking they are right about everything. These people are everywhere, they lack humility and critical thinking, and they are insufferable.

Bro this is the American Bible belt, almost every person I've ever directly reported to across a dozen or so jobs, has been the exact same way. I've always known my bosses politics, much to my displeasure, and they've always been extremely conservative, regardless of the field of work.
