Are You Afraid of Speaking Your Mind in Public? [View all]
Luckily, I live in a blue state, so that gives me a little comfort. However, I still don't speak much about politics in public.
Now we have an Alabama judge ruling in favor of racial discrimination because of fear of reprisal: http://occupydemocrats.com/2017/04/28/alabama-just-brought-back-school-segregation/
We have the formation of a gang called the proud boys who are ready to beat us up in the name of tRump: https://www.splcenter.org/hatewatch/2017/04/25/new-alt-right-%E2%80%9Cfight-club%E2%80%9D-ready-street-violence
We have courts ruling that tRump himself incited his supporters to violence at his rallies: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-fix/wp/2017/04/02/a-judge-rules-trump-may-have-incited-violence-and-trump-again-has-his-own-mouth-to-blame/?utm_term=.1dab62e2d507
So how does everyone else feel, especially those of you who live in deep red states? I guess it's one thing to be part of large protest and have strength in numbers; but being by myself or with my wife in a crowd of people whose ideologies and propensity to violence are unclear frightens me.
