you stand by and watch others get fired for having impure political thoughts whether it is about blacks or queers. You remain silent. And while yes the 1st Amendment does only apply to the federal government as written, we have long since moved past that standard.
When you can be fired for something you tweeted 10 years ago, we do not have freedom of speech. Your silence is violence
If a private company wants to fire someone for some embarrassing public comment the person made because they don't want their image associated with it, that's their business.
I seriously doubt you'd put up much of a fuss if someone got fired for being gay or black.
Freedom of speech comes with certain responsibilities.
It was never meant to be a blanket protection for any and every kind of speech.
C'MON MAN!!!!
