If you get fired for your religion, race, sex… you can sue the bejeebers out of your former employer, and chances are good you’ll win settlements painful enough to make them not do that again. In fact, the legal protections are strong enough that if a mob of activists protested your employer to fire you because of your religion or race, even the weakest-willed of employers will probably stand strong at least for a little while. But if you are guilty of expressing politically unpopular opinions and the woke mob shows up… chances are  quite good that your employer will eject you more or less instantly. But… what if political views had the same protection under law as religious views?

One might argue that “political viewpoints are nothing at all like race or disability.” That’s true. But political viewpoints are a *lot* like religious viewpoints. They are, in fact, pretty much exactly the same, just with different labels.
