so you're saying it's wrong to shame/shun/undermine those at work because you disagree with their opinions on public policy?

I am saying that it's wrong to shame people at work for their political opinions and I can't fucking believe that this stance is controversial. I will go further and say that politics doesn't belong at work.
Our words are insufficient.

I guess you are talking about big issue politics when you say they don't belong at work, because it is absurd to say that people shouldn't consider the political consequences of the things they create or actions they take on behalf of their jobs.

That sounds awfully toxic. Isn't it wrong? Work should be a professional environment where your political opinions are completely irrelevant.
