Most adults do not bring politics to work.

Maybe he is secretly MAGA.

Try to imagine how you would feel if you had a Republican boss jabbering about politics all day in the office. Would that be appropriate?

Try to have a shred of intellectual integrity.


Op omg. I would have said he was MAGA. obviously. He’s super left leaning- as I mentioned in my post, and recent politics are connected to our work place


Are you like 21 years old?

Adults don't talk politics at work.

It is rude and unprofessional.

Learn manners. You are being rude pushing this.

I’d never engage my staff or coworkers in political discussions at work. How stupid are you?

It’s always the least productive staff raising these stupid issues at work. Never fails.

Don’t talk politics at work. It’s trashy.

There is no way I’d talk about politics at work.
Team boss.

+1. He's not as left-leaning as you think, or has had some sort of personal growth beyond that. He thinks you are insufferable, OP. I hope you're good at your job. You need to learn to keep your mouth shut.

I know everyone will say the workplace is no place for politics etc, but I can’t help finding it odd, especially he’s a chatter box about other non work topics.

I guess everyone deals with this mess differently


This is just my observation, I don’t expect change


Talk is cheap. If it really bothers you, go find another job. Otherwise, STFU and carry out your duties.


I think you should STFU

Well if you haven’t noticed, Trump has dragged politics into our work settings. Do you watch the news??

Honestly I can relate to your boss wanting to focus on work instead of perseverating over something we can't do anything about. (And don't say we can protest, because those don't seem to be working.)


Same. And I work in a support role at a news organization. The news just stresses me out and there's not a thing I can do about it. I keep up with what's going on in my local community.


Op here. This may be what he’s doing. It just struck me because he is so left leaning and typically chats a lot about personal stuff AND some of what is going on recently indirectly impacts us at work. But on this, it’s like he’s got his head in the sand.
