Progressive Politics

Oh no, he gets to experience what many others have been experiencing their entire lives.

I work at a company where coworkers have joked about building drones to spray pepper gas at protestors. I let the joke land, smile politely, and move on.

I'm an atheist and have never mentioned this fact to the guy who hired me, because he's very religious and wouldn't have hired me.

I'm poly and I don't talk about my relationships, because they'd probably fire me at some point due to "a bad cultural fit."

There are only two other liberals at my company- one of them is doing the slow lefty dance that you do when you work in the deep south. You watch people's reactions as different topics come up in conversation, you make little jokes that can be taken multiple ways, and you slowly open up to the people that you're absolutely certain you can speak to safely.

The other is the daughter of the COO. She can wear her hair shaved up the side, or put a rainbow pin on her laptop bag. My lefty dance partner and I have to wear polos and conservative hair styles.

So, in conclusion, go fuck yourself.
