8. I first bumped into this story outside of DU, one of those 'stories'

that pop up on the right side of my screen whilst searching on google. I clicked the link, read an article somewhere about it, then clicked another link regarding the gofundme. Somehow without realizing it I ended up on Daily Mail (I know). So I decided to read some of the comments - I'd say at least 90% of them were defending his action, even though most of them hadn't read the 'fine print' where he was being a complete jerk, hiding his contempt for certain others behind July 4th. Even those who had didn't believe he should have been fired.

The 10% or so who agreed with his being let go did so from the standpoint that he was an employee of a business, and as such you don't pizz off the customers. That if it were their business they would have done the same. They DID, however, support what he said, just that it should have been said outside of work. I noticed as well that this group was FAR better prepared to argue their point, and many of them claimed to be long-time members.

I realize it's a far-right site with anonymous posters but if representative of MAGAs in general, we've a very tough road ahead. Very eye opening.
