TOTALLY GEEKED!

Thanks Lindley, I hate having to throw someone under the bus but I'm really getting sick of it

You unfriended him, he isn't talking TO YOU about this stuff, but you feel harrassed.

I'd say ignore.

He is insulting and harassing a group of people, calling them names, etc. Tell HR.

Any chance of going to HR and asking them to put out a general notice memo that politics in the office are no longer tolerated?

Sounds like you need to go to HR.

Stab!

Spork him!

Seriously, he is creating a hostile work environment and HR should be notified.

After the election, children on the boys' bus would chant, "Trump sucks" all the way home. It lasted for two weeks.   The bus driver didn't feel he could do anything about it, until the head of transportation gave him the okay to restrict the chanting as it was a driving distraction for him.   And yes, I notified the head of transportation of the children's behavior.  It ended immediately.  The bus driver was happy, too.

 That's funny.

Mom drove a school bus for years.

I can't tell you how many times she shut the noise down.

It amazes me when I hear an adult say "I didn't think I could discipline the kids".

 

You don't have to be a minority to be protected under Title VII. All persons of all races/color/ethnicity, etc., are protected. Here are the elements of a hostile work environment claim:

1) you were subjected to [slurs, insults, jokes or other verbal comments or physical contact or intimidation of a racial nature] [sexual advances, requests for sexual conduct, or other verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature] [conduct affecting other Title VII protected characteristics];

2) the conduct was unwelcome;

3) the conduct was sufficiently severe or pervasive to alter the conditions of your employment and create a [racially] [sexually] [other Title VII protected characteristic] abusive or hostile work environment;

4. You perceived the working environment to be abusive or hostile; and

5. a reasonable [woman] [man] in your circumstances would consider the working environment to be abusive or hostile.

Whether the environment constituted a [racially] [sexually] [other Title VII protected characteristic] hostile work environment is determined by looking at the totality of the circumstances, including the frequency of the harassing conduct, the severity of the conduct, whether the conduct was physically threatening or humiliating or a mere offensive utterance, and whether it unreasonably interfered with an employee’s work performance.

I would wear a "Make America Great Again" hat.

If you do go to HR, I doubt you even have to bring up his name in particular. This should be a no brainer. I mean really... enough with the politics in the business invironment.
