I work at a medium sized company in blue-state VA at a location with over 100 employees. Last year at this time, the Trump haters outnumbered the Trump supporters 70% to 30%. Trump haters were smug and outspoken, making wisecracks and sharing CNN and MSN talking points constantly. Flash forward a year and the split has reversed with 7 out of 10 people now clearly in the Trump camp and the non-supporters don't want to discuss politics anymore. I believe the voter turnout for Democrats in 2020 will be the lowest on record. Get ready to MAGA.

I work at two locations for my company. One of them is predominantly pro-Trump and the other is the exact opposite.
The pro-Trump location is quiet and industrious. Politics are rarely discussed and when there is good news for America, people just nod and smile at each other.
The other location is loud conversations about impeachment non-stop. My God, the morning Sondland testified, the REEEEEE level was over the top. It was hilarious how much his later testimony shut them up.
Needless to say, I hate working in that office. I can't go 5 minutes without hearing these NPCs trash the president. For location MAGA, politics is a personal journey. For location Cuck, it's nothing short of a fundamentalist religion.
MAGA vs. Cuck
--pretty much sums it up
How productive is site Cuck vs site MAGA?
Anecdotally I would say site MAGA is an order of magnitude more productive. Site Cuck has some smart people who always seem to be out for coffee breaks, in the office late and out early. Team MAGA is in early and leaves late. Great attention to detail, and good work ownership.
In my experience it boils down to this. Conservatives look at a job as an opportunity and liberals resent the fact they have to work. I think it's that sense of personal responsibility that seems to be the core difference between the two groups.
Nailed it. Well said!
Wouldn't expect anything else honestly. Conservatives/right wing types are far more industrious and hard working (facts backed by scholarly research). Progressives/left wing types are more worried about how they FEEL rather than getting their work done. The nihilism doesn't help their case either. It's sad watching lefties work, cause all they do is complain and then nothing ever gets done.
Hasn't management noticed this? Like maybe tell the employees to leave their politics outside?
In my opinion, work and politics should be like church and state, completely separated
Clearly, we saw in tech companies the C-level meetings after the elections where executives were consoling their liberal workforces and lamenting the stupidity of the American voter.
They exhorted their employees to find ways to ensure that something like Trump's election never happens again.
I happen to work in a blue coastal state. While I agree with politics ideally remaining personal, it just won't happen here.
