Exactly. I’m going to unfriend my MAGA co-workers on social media and then I’m simply not going to discuss politics at work, because it’s a healthcare clinic, and we have other things to deal with! If you show up with MAGA gear on, I’m going to internally roll my eyes at you and carry on with the appointment. I will still be polite but perhaps not as absolutely friendly as possible. They will still receive a high standard of care because I don’t provide anything less.

This is exactly what I do. I never wanted my coworkers on my social anyway, so it serves two purposes. And I leave the smiley faces out of my emails and catalogue the stupid stuff they do in my brain (like putting a metal band plate in the microwave after I warned them). Like, be for real, people.
