A bisexual. A single woman with dyed pink
And she voted Republican? Despite winning the EMT of the year award - which probably takes a lot of brain - she does not seem to be the brightest bulb on the Christmas tree.

A bisexual. A single woman with dyed pink
And she voted Republican? Despite winning the EMT of the year award - which probably takes a lot of brain - she does not seem to be the brightest bulb on the Christmas tree.
In 2016, Trump was a wildcard while Hillary Clinton was... Hillary Clinton. With the suspicious omission of the years after 2016 I'm guessing she didn't vote Trump after that.
Trump wasn't a wildcard by the time 2016 voting began
We all knew he was a criminal, we all knew he grabbed them by the pussy and liked to walk into little girls dressing rooms, we knew he was a fraud, we knew all his enterprises failed. We knew he was disrespectful to anyone being even slightly different.
There was little wild about his card by then
Trump's appeal was that he was unqualified, that he instead campaigned by bringing reality show tactics into politics full-scale, winning endless free airtime ("all exposure is good exposure") for exactly the reasons you mentioned. Back then this idea had a sheen, like how "We're going to build a wall" resonated with those close to Mexico. I agree that in hindsight everything seems obvious.
we knew he was a fraud, we knew all his enterprises failed
I don't think we did. That seems to be first reported in 2018 and 2021.

I'll give you the benefit of the doubt, that you live in places that Trump has not marked with his greasy mitts. People who lived in places where "Trump" buildings were planted, and thus he was part of local news, knew he was a dickhead. The average person just didn't know how much he failed because most don't go digging into the financial history of celebrities.
If you lived anywhere near NYC you knew he was a dickhead.
Yes. We have to acknowledge democrats keep running "fall in line" candidates and there's a significant amount of people in the US that refuse to play that game.
Bernie would have won.
There is no good reason to post your true opinions about anything even remotely controversial under your real name. I don't know why people feel so compelled to do it. If I employed her in a position of public trust within the community, and firefighter is pretty high up on that list, I'd fire her too.
But the guy who led a mob to dox her is the worst: claiming some false pious burden while going against the literal commands of Jesus and stirring up hatred that would obviously lead to death threats against her and her family. It hardly comes as a surprise, though; that's typical of Christian reactionaries.
I would never fire her. I don't give into terrorists and Christian nationalists are exactly that. You have a second amendment right as well.
It's not about "giving into terrorists," it's about losing community trust when you work in a position of trust.
“Good riddance. Thoughts and prayers to the other guy.”
If Bernie or AOC were brutally murdered and it was caught on video and a firefighter or EMT posted something that callous immediately afterward, that would inspire questions in the community about whether or not that person would feel the same way if they knew the politics of someone calling emergency services. It's a breach of professionalism in a position that requires community trust.
If you want to broadcast controversial, callous opinions when you work in a position like that, do it somewhere not tied to your name.
