(16,336 posts)The first Amendment of the United States Constitution guarantees the right of free association though the right to peaceful assembly. You may be a member of a political party and unlike a private employer, government activities cannot legally fire you for membership in that political party. The McCarthy era attacks on Communist party membership were ultimately ruled unconstitutional by the SCOTUS. Private actors did their blacklists, but government attempts were ultimately stopped. And regardless of that fact, the Democratic Party is one of the two main parties in the United States, with as much membership nationally as the Republican Party. You can't claim that party isn't loyal, no matter how much you bloviate.
This election was not a blowout. There are almost as many Americans who voted against Trump as voted for him. No attempt to force 10s of millions of Americans into second class citizenship will succeed if you fight it.
Now here's where i'll get aggressive. Adolph Hitler's Law for the Restoration of the Professional Civil Service was the first act of the Holocaust. If a government is willing to fire you because of your political party membership, they are willing to murder you! If Musk or Ramaswamy succeed in firing civil servants because they are registered Democrats, then the answer is violence. You either act to eliminate the threat to your family then and there, or you and your family will ultimately be forced to have a shower with no water.
