Technically, an employer in the US can't punish you for going to vote.

You just won't get paid for the hours you are off voting(and it does take hours), and that is punishment enough for most people.

The unfollow button is the best thing that ever happened. Everyone gets a 3 strike policy and if they're decent people who just have a bad, repeated viewpoint about things for whatever reason I just take it out of my feed. My own naive bliss.

I'm already doing a mental inventory of acquaintances that were mostly okay who have either turned into woefully ignorant and regressives or finally feel safe to say what they really think. I work in a very patriarchal and conservatively aligned career field that's been slowly eating away at me, and this will only hasten that process.

All the more reason to go outside, I guess (not least of all because a lot less nature will probably exist in a few years after the limitless potential for damage a republican controlled house/senate/presidency can cause).

If what happened after the Brexit vote over here is any indication, a Trump result will give carte blanche to anyone who voted for him to be openly hostile to anyone they consider a minority/immigrant. And you guys have guns.

Friend of my dad's on Facebook: FRANCE, CIVIL WAR IS NIGH BUT OUR GOVERNMENT CENSORS THE PRESS (link to one of those clickbait hoax websites. "Our" government meaning Italy)
My dad: I checked Liberation and aside from an article on a demonstration by a few hundred people I found nothing about this whole matter. How come on social media all hoaxes take hold and no one bothers to check before clicking a news item?

Inordinately proud of you dad :allears:
