Workers lose jobs over politics, but right-wing businesses remain

Anyone who thinks that those who might possibly be on the political left aren't being persecuted can shut their fucking mouths now.

There's a clear double standard, but nothing is being done about it. In California, a woman was fired from her job because she was involved in an argument with a Trump follower at a local business. The incident did not take place at the woman's workplace and had no connection to her job, and she did not commit any violence. Yet she was fired anyway.

But the city of Bellevue, Kentucky, allows a man who is not a resident of the city to operate a business even though he has endorsed right-wing violence on his Facebook page. If the California woman can be fired over an incident that had nothing to do with work, why can't this man lose his business license?

If Bellevue wants to keep touting itself as a welcoming, forward-thinking city, why does it permit this double standard while California officials allow a business to fire a worker over much less? This persecution against the left in modern America is not new under Trump. It's been going on for at least as long as I've been old enough to care about it. But it's generally gotten worse over the years.
