James Gunn being fired over old tweets reminds me that we're blithely building a society where:

You can never make a mistake.
Your past will forever haunt you.
Your job holds sway over private life because you're a 24/7 representative of the company.

Is this the future we want? Here's something ugly to consider: Every time we ok this, every time we cheer when it happens to someone we DON'T like, we strengthen the construction of this cage around ALL of us.

Protest is as American as apple pie. You don't have to be nice to anyone & are under no requirement to practice #civility in the face of rampant incivility.

But my question to those fed up is: What's next? How will your opponent reply & how do you plan to counter that? Over & over again I see anxious ruminations about whether or not right minded people who oppose Trump are supposed to be appealing to / converting Trump voters.

Why? The last election proved that you're in the majority.

Your goal should be settling differences on your OWN side.
