We all know that Trump, and his supporters, are patriotic; in fact, Trump's slogan is "Make America great again." He is also very much the sort of person to get in your face about his opinions and beliefs, a trait that many of his supporters share, often exclaiming something along the lines of "Freedom of speech!". However, when somebody dares to not agree with you and exercise their own right to freedom of speech, they get slandered for it.
Krystal Lake, a Home Depot worker, wore a hate to work, which said "America was never great", clearly a parody of Trump's oft-quoted slogan.
It is clear to me that the republicans who support Trump are not only misogynistic, Islamphobic, racist, and homophobic, are also hypocrites. By saying that this young woman has no right to voice her opinion on this country's dark beginnings (slavery of blacks and genocide of Native Americans), while her co-workers are allowed to support Trump openly at work, they are also repressing her right to speak her mind.
She should be allowed to voice her opinion just as much as anyone else.
