That this is different than when conservatives got fired when their employers got pictures of them at Klan rallies, etc. (And you can) people shoukd have been smart enough not to do that because ultimately, it doesn't matter what you do, if your employer thinks your actions coukd hurt his business, you're going bye-bye.

I've been pretty active on Threads. I haven't been criticizing Kirk but the right's reaction to his murder, and I'm tlalocw there as well.

We've had the internet for a few years now. We should be aware of this phenomenon.
