your anecdote is the opposite of your recommendation... brain explodes
Why? I'm here and in other places with views counter to mine. There are a lot of tech for Trump folks that just keep their heads down at their jobs because they don't want the drama.

A lot of people don't know, or at least, don't instinctively feel this. They make all kinds of jokes and don't realize it might not feel good to someone who can't say anything.
