No.
It's paranoid delusional people or anyone irrational or unable to admit they were fired for reason.
Claiming it mainly happens in a political group you don't happen to agree with means you are consumed by irrational hatred in a form called
bigotry.
We are all bigoted at times. It's in our nature. The test of honesty and rationality though is in being able to admit our own flaws and weaknesses.
That usually comes in older age when we face ourselves in a mirror with open eyes and minds.
There was a time years ago I would have agreed without thought due to my own irrationality and bigotry, but hopefully I've gone beyond that phase. In
the end I decided that each person deserves to be judged individually and no group should be defined by the acts of a single member or even a small
percentage of the group. That is to lie to ourselves and others.
For instance I fully support the peaceful protestors and wish them well in their movement, while at the same time I condemn the anarchist and
sociopaths who want to take over or engage in crime and harming others. In particular those who are talking about burning a city to the ground. I
don't blame the real protestors though. That would make me very irrational and a genuine bigot of the worst kind.
I also support the Tea Party in what they did even though I'm not one of them. They did a remarkable job of holding huge events without problems and
got genuine results and respect from anyone rational or honest. They, like any large group have bad members. I'm old enough to remember for instance
when the KKK was all Democrats and the southern Democrats tried to block Equal Rights. Now it's lied about by irrational Partisans who engage in hate
and bigotry towards those who's opinions differ, but most Democrats my age and older will be honest if they are honest to begin with.
That is a huge part of the reason I refuse to be associated with the Partisans and join a Party. I tried both and found them both very flawed.
I've looked in the mirror and faced my true self some time ago. I now accept my flaws and no longer feel compelled to lash out at people who's only
crime is they have a different opinion, although on my bad days I still get sucked into the hate fest. Hard not to with both Parties trying so hard to
divide us so they can keep their power. Sad really we don't all understand that it is them that keeps us divided. Right now some are hoping for more
violence and for people to get hurt and in fact promoting it.
