    Surely the principle of not purging people who support the wrong political party is not that controversial.

        "Surely the principle of [asking someone to step down for supporting & funding racist rhetoric] is not that controversial."

        If supporting Trump = supporting racist rhetoric, firing people who support racist rhetoric would mean firing 40% of workers.

        The bulk of workers who support a somewhat harmful view (with no harmful actions effecting the worksite) shouldn't be fired.

        Leader who imparts vision, whose DNA gets replicated into the future=different. I'd ask for a statement disavowing racist rhetoric.

        So companies should only fire managers who plan to vote for Trump?

        No. But it's an HR issue if owner/partner/exec acts on, gives *appearance* of supporting racist rhetoric (attends rally, donates $$).

        So managers get fired only if they *openly* support Trump?

        No. Dialogue/discovery. Same as if one discovered a partner attended a David Duke rally or donated money to an anti-Semitic charity.

        When you remove the emotionally-charged, inaccurate terms "purging" & "wrong political party," the issue remains both valid/complex.

        Depends on whether the party respects the underlying norms of civil democracy that make parties work in the first place

        If the party's purpose is the destruction of civil society itself then people have to choose; party or the republic

        I wouldn't say this is controversial so much as misunderstood by people who have a limited grasp of civics
