Afraid to speak

What might constitute a thought crime in the U.S.? How about hatred of elected officials? No, that's obviously okay, as a five-minute glance at some of our national news will tell you. Opposition and hatred is very emotional, very loud, and in-your-face public. 

It's not a crime to hate a politician. But to express an opinion counter to political correctness could get you in very big trouble. You could lose your job if you disagree with the political left, not to mention bullying and shaming.

According to a new poll, 62% of Americans say they are afraid to speak about their political views.  They have good reason to be afraid. Half of those on the left think a business executive who donates to the current president's campaign should be fired from his/her job.

An online community of people who knit would probably be safe, though, right? No. Organizational psychologist and author Dr. Karlyn Borysenko saw horrible bullying there.
