As much as I dislike the guy, I don’t need fake stories for reasons to hate him. Thank goodness this sounds 100% on-brand for that absolute spaz, no proof needed!

Going together is ideal, that’s what I’m saying. But going together inherently is about popularity, and remember Trump won the popular vote this time… MAGA works on feelings and their followers believe they are the ones being persecuted. If you match their crazy, they’re just gonna double down and get crazier. Instead get oranized. Join or coordinate a protest nearby, talk to coworkers but try to change their mind of they don’t agree and if they do agree talk about what they feel comfortable doing to further the cause (try to keep from getting fired, being broke really takes away a lot of your free time to do these things, I know it sucks), continue discussing online and take a look around those MAGA bubbles (keep your friends close and your enemies closer). Right now you’re venting to an already left wing/progressive bubble at the least, I’m suggesting you help make fascism not so popular which means interacting outside this bubble and actually convincing them why they should listen.
Okay, but “If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together”. You’re on a fast track for burning your bridges without making the impact you’re expecting and I’m just trying to warn you.
Culture is what people believe on average, even if you believe that it originated from the rich. You need people on your side if you want to make progress. Sorry to say that politics is mainly a popularity contest with policies being the second class citizen in debates (student class presidents for example, it doesn’t change they just get older and more powerful). I’m not telling you to give up, just suggesting that you change tactic. If you go around calling people racist you’re not gonna convert anyone, and if your goal is not to convert then I don’t know how you expect to make lasting change. Listen to their side, even if you don’t agree. People love to be listened to, and you need people to open up and feel safe to change their opinions and not be on the defensive around you. And if there’s just straight up racist policies at your job, again that is what unions can help with to curb workplace discrimination through solidarity (which also needs people all to be on the same side)
You can discuss politics, but the way you’re writing makes it sound like you’re preaching at your coworkers. People tend not to respond very well to being told how to think, even if you’re right. Perhaps you’re wasting your energy and risking your job when you could be organizing a club after work hours instead? If you really hate your bosses though, you have two choices: quit or organize a union (which might be right up your alley from how you’re talking)
Not trying to sound too apologetic to big business, but unless your job is to talk about politics maybe you should focus on your work while you’re being paid for your time… Free speech does not mean people need to give you a platform or listen, it just means the government can’t arrest you.
