I've been a loyal Trump supporter since 2016.

I lost a job, friendships, been smeared online, doxxed, and pressed charges on people who've stalked and harassed me for supporting him.

If Trump doesn't want my support, because I care about the Epstein Files, then I'm done.

Bye.

Imagine losing a job and friendships to worship the star of NBC's The Apprentice.

    Imagine voting for quite possibly the biggest conman in the 21st century and get surprised when he pulls the rug out from under them.

    How does this come up as enough of an issue at work that your boss takes action on it?

    Yeah, you don’t get fired for supporting a political party, you get fired for bringing it up constantly and being an ass.

    If you asked my coworkers they wouldn’t know my political views.

    Hell, some of my former coworkers didn't even know I was sentient!

    He mentioned doxxing so could be…:

    He advocates for Mexican genocide or something, reshares “rapists and drug dealers”, whatever—and his boss/company execs get an emailed screenshot.

    Code of conduct says racism bad, he signed it, bye.

    (^ pure speculation)

    Ah, so the same reason christians are "persecuted for their beliefs".

    "So are you being persecuted for believing that Jesus was the son of God? No? How about that Jesus sacrificed himself for humanity? Still no? That you should love thy neighbor as you love thyself? Not that either huh?

    I wonder what it could be..."

    They identify with a political group who's primary recognizable characteristics are publicly wearing an extremely identifiable bright red hat and actively mocking and trolling their perceived opponents even in completely fictitious situations.

    It's not much of a leap to say they acted similarly at work and got fired for being an asshole constantly.

    I've worked with several people that got fired in the last 8 years who claim it was their politics.

    True, they all were hard right republicans with Trump/MAGA bumper stickers.

    But they all got fired because of their behavior and misconduct. They are just claiming they lost their job for being Trump supporters because suddenly that means it's not their fault and they were persecuted for beliefs and identify, not something they actually did wrong. Nobody really gave a shit about their politics and bumper stickers. Zero self awareness among this crowd; claim the victim cause of who they were then immediately turn around and spew the most foul rhetoric I've ever heard about LGBT youth.

    This made me think, in an alternate universe, which already semi-famous TV personality from 20ish years ago would the worst segment of a population worship?

    That dog whisperer guy?

    On a random note, like 10 years ago one of my friends in Colorado (where Dog the Bounty Hunter is from) made a post on a forum trash talking Dog the Bounty Hunter and his wife.

    Shortly as afterwards a signed copy of Dog the Bounty Hunters book appeared on my friend's doorstep that said something like:

    [My friend's real name] - heard you're a fan. I'll catch you next time

    I should point out, my friend posted online using a user name and not his real name. It's possible that he leaked his real name at some point?
