They Fired Me For My MAGA Beliefs, Now I Need to Start Over

(This as told by essay omits names and contains fictionalized elements. It is intended for entertainment purposes only.)

I consider myself a true patriot. In the weeks leading up to the recent election, I flew the flag on the back of my pickup truck and wore a T-shirt supporting my favorite candidate to work.

My employer reacted to my exercise of free speech with repression. My manager told me my T-shirt violated company policy.


My manager also told me that the flag flying from my pickup truck and the bumper stickers on the back of my truck offended co-workers.


When I walked out to my vehicle after work one day, I found it pelted with rotten eggs.


I came in the next day and gave some of my coworkers I suspected a piece of my mind.


I also refused to stop wearing T-shirts reflecting my political views to work. The next day the manager called me into her office and fired me. Now it's time to start over!


Surviving the coming collapse


A Brand New Beginning


I realized it was time to make a change. I told my landlord I’d be moving out, packed everything in my pickup truck and hit the road.


I learned from friends online that there were some communities forming with like-minded people in the south and mid-west. So I headed to a small town in Kentucky I heard about.


My new hometown seems great. My neighbors believe like I do. And we live free of protests and complaints from others about who we vote for and why.


I avoid giving out my new address for fear of online doxing. I’m active on social media and have been targeted by some nuts online.


The first challenge I faced was finding a new way to make a living. My last job was at a big box retailer, but I decided to try working at home on the internet instead.

Becoming an Online Marketer


First, I tried my hand at online marketing. Believe it or not, plenty of jobs exist online. You work from home.


That cuts your commute to the distance from your bedroom to the computer every morning.


I make some coffee, eat two poached eggs and bacon for breakfast, sit down at the desk in my living room and start my day.

Begin by searching online for marketing coaches. Find a program with a coach that will help you get started.


It surprised me how quickly I learned the basics. Soon I found myself on my way to a career in online marketing.

Becoming an Online Writer


I started writing for online publishers – eleven though I hadn’t written since high school. It seemed to come easy because I focused on topics I believed in.


Soon I started to see jobs for online writers needed to work remotely.


These proved to be right up my alley. I work at my own pace and schedule my time around work.


So long as I finish assignments on deadline, my online employers give me no issues. 


This represents a huge change from most of my experience in the working world.

Making Money From Social Media


I also learned of a surprising way to make money I might never have imagined. Now I earn money using Facebook and other social media.


That’s right! Turns out many organizations – and quite a few businesses – need help maintaining their social media accounts.

Hiring Virtual Assistants for Bigger Success


After creating my existing business, I made another huge breakthrough. As I landed more and more online writing jobs and started with more and more clients for my social media and marketing businesses, I soon started running out of time.


Then I read and article on hiring virtual assistance and realized I could scale my businesses and have more time for myself.


It turns out virtual assistance can do many things for you. They organize your email, schedule appointments with clients. And yes, they even maintain social media accounts. So I soon found I could sign on new clients and then assign lots of the work to these hardworking online contractors.


What’s more, they charge very little – much less than a full-time employee.

 

I’ve totally changed my life and you can too. No matter what your political views or social or economic standing, stop living a life that gives you stress. Reinvent your life today!
