As a member of a representative democracy, I should be able to hold and express political opinions on things like immigration and affirmative action without risking career death. The fact that I can't do so is beyond just sad, it's dangerous to our democracy in general.

As a member of a representative democracy, you have the right to express whatever political opinion you please. But if you exercise that right in your workplace and announce to your coworkers that you want the government to destroy their lives and families - well, you ought to be prepared for an extremely negative reception.
