Can I be discriminated against for political beliefs?

Published

On facebook I have a habit of getting into discussions about the social aspects of politics. Im a conservative, I never use any racial epithets, never threaten violence and I use statistics to substantiate any claims I make. With that being said, conservative opinions are frowned upon today. With colleges and i'm assuming places of work being very liberal is there any way I could not be able to become a nurse because of me using my first amendment rights and expressing my beliefs?

I would be worried that a trump voter would provide sub-standard care to people he or she deemed "undesireable" aka minorities, non-Christians, members of the LGTBQ community, foreigner, disabled people....basically non-Wasps.

Trump is Christian?

It's an honest question, I really don't know. He doesn't strike me as one but.........hey.....it takes all kinds.

As a supporter of our President, I assure you that there is no human being whom I believe to be "undesirable" or unworthy of my care.

That you have expressed such a thought concerns me.

Those who attack others are often revealing their own biases.

Do you actually know anybody who voted for Trump? A couple of my best friends did and they are the loveliest people in the world. You might want to broaden your horizons and associations.

Clearly our president finds certain citizens less than. Look at his response to PR.

I don't support raping racists. So yeah, I am bias against him and I am ok with that.

Actually I have family members who voted for him and I was very disappointed. I can't get behind supporting racism, sexism or xenophobia ir homophobia and anyone who does is hardly lovely in my opinion.

This isn't Bush, Reagan or Mitt Romney. This is Trump we are talking about.

Thread seems to have veered into solely political territory.

Please keep posts centered on the subject of the thread only.

If another subject presents itself, start a new thread in the appropriate area.

Thank you.

Supporters of Trump being called racist just because of their vote.

If I were a hiring manager I wouldn't hire based on your personality. I can already tell the type of person you would be at work. ( very attention seeking)

I went to nursing school with some Trump supporters but they know where their bread and butter comes from so they keep it professional.

Most of my friends don't even know who I voted for, so you bringing up this topic proves my point. Keep your political beliefs to yourself!

I don't support raping racists.

It took me a few tries to read this the way that I think you actually meant it. I was wondering, "did I miss a news story about a racist getting raped?"

Before this thread gets closed, I just want to say that those who dislike Trump seem to let him take over their thoughts. It was the same with the Obama haters.

Don't let Donald Trump get to stay in your head rent free. Try to discipline your thoughts to more positive ones. Don't let your hatred for this man erode your life.
