This is something I fear, completely.    Politics don't play a large role in my job, and based on my CEO's office decor and less than 5% non-white employees (counting Jews), I'd say he's slightly right-of-center, but I don't talk about politics and I withhold my opinion unless it happens to coincide with a mainstream stance.    Sometimes I hate the internet because it makes it easier for a person's enemies to publicly shame them. Free speech in America? You won't get jail time, just your personal and professional life destroyed...
