> Only if the post praises BLM and criticizes MAGA... Lots of people have lost their jobs (and even dropped from public funded colleges) because of this.

I've never heard of such a thing. Could you give a specific example of these "lots of people"?

Additionally, this framing - of MAGA vs. BLM - is also unreasonable. Hiring processes are by design discriminatory; people don't just hire at random. There's no reason to assume public statements by a candidate that appear to fall in a pro-BLM bucket would be as attractive to the hiring process as statements that fall in a MAGA bucket would be unattractive; those two things likely have nothing to do with each other when it comes to hiring.

In other words, regardless of actually instances of discrimination, this framing looks chosen to try and create or sustain the so-called culture war.

My intention was to show how diametric political frameworks are allowed to exist simultaneously in the US. Most people fall somewhere between.
Troll accounts are annoying.
