No, I'm not going to imagine anything. You actually have to say what you stand for.

You just did, man.

I'd be afraid to express my views around you, as anything that approaches conservatism will be labeled as "Bigotry", and therefore "not tolerated".

Whos knows what opinions you are throwing under the bus. Best to not risk it.

It is perfectly rational for someone to not express their opinions around someone who is going to misinterpret them.

Sorry cupcake, but you should be afraid to express your views around me because I will force you to defend them. After y'all voted in Cheeto, no more Mister Nice Guy.
Or maybe you'll be in a position of power and fire someone for it. Whos knows!

Thats the problem that people are dealing with. That you will incorrectly assume things about what someone believes, and then use whatever organizational power you have against them.

But i guess "freedom of speech doesn't mean freedom from consequences" therefore they deserve to be fired for your incorrect assumptions about their beliefs, right? (even though this is illegal)

There is no way of knowning what you will or will not do or what powers you will or will not use against them.
