Ahhh...don't like it when you are forced to play by your own rules.Whether it’s popular or not is irrelevant.
The fact is that such a notion is wrong, reprehensible, and illegal.

This opinion is unpopular with both Liberals and Conservatives. Most Liberals believe that they do not hold any views for which they deserve to be punished. The vast majority of Conservatives believe that no one should lose their job for their political beliefs. I am neither Liberal nor Conservative.
In a perfectly just Society, very few people would lose their job for their political beliefs. Only the most extreme views would merit such penalty. Even though USA in the past was far from being perfect, firing people for their political opinions was relatively rare. To the best of my knowledge it was rare even in the first years of this Century.
Unfortunately, in recent years tens of thousands of people have been fired and/or blacklisted for even mildly offending Progressives. In my opinion, Conservative business owners should respond in kind. There are thousands of counties and small towns in which Conservatives are over 70% majority, and hundreds of counties in which they are 80% majority. Amazingly, in a few counties over 90% of people are Conservative. If Liberal supporters of Cancel Culture who live in these towns or counties lose their jobs, they would have a hard time finding other jobs in the same community. That would force them either to reconsider their views and make amends or to relocate to more Liberal urban areas.
Almost all Liberal supporters of Cancel Culture believe that private businesses have a right to fire any employee for their political opinions. They accuse opponents of Cancel Culture of opposing the First Amendment. Thus they would not object to being fired themselves.
Firing Cancel Culture proponents may have other benefits as well. They are likely to try to dictate to their employees how to run their business. For instance, some Amazon employees have been making a scene when Amazon carried books they do not like. The same is true for many bookstores and music stores. Some publishers have been pressured by their employees not to publish books they find offensive.
Cancel Culture proponents are likely to be walking lawsuits. Their Conservative and Independent coworkers have to walk on eggshells in their presence. This hardly benefits the working environment. A working team where all members share most ideas may be more friendly and more productive.
Another benefit of firing Cancel Culture proponents may be in liberation of work places for Conservatives and Independents who have been fired for their beliefs. Conservative business owners should be helping those hurt by Cancel Culture rather then those who support it. Hiring someone fired for his/her opinions may have additional benefits for a business. A cancelled employee is likely to understand that it would be difficult for them to find work elsewhere. Thus they are likely to work diligently rather then to risk losing their job.

Actually, while Judaism is a Faith, Jewish people are also an ethnicity since they share similar genotypes.Jews are NOT a minority. It is a religious faith.

Conservative Businesses Should Fire Woke Employees-TopicTitle
Why do you want to destroy jobs?
Yet its OK to ban Conservatives and Republicans...hmmmkayWhether it’s popular or not is irrelevant.
The fact is that such a notion is wrong, reprehensible, and illegal.
I do not believe in sinking to the level of Woke fascism, myself.
Otherwise, what is to separate me from them?
I disagree 100%. Every Conservative Business owner who employs a Progressive supports Progressive Cancel Culture.
Not at work? Hanging around on social media and speaking your thoughts? What if the biz owner is a conservative tea totaler and they fire the guy for having a martini while chatting?This opinion is unpopular with both Liberals and Conservatives.

I never understood people who air their religion or politics or personal life at work. How stupid can you get?
I agree 100%.
But also if they are found out to be progressive by other means -- like their Social Media posts, they should be fired.
No.
There is no need to ask them about their political beliefs. Progressives are so vile and hateful they can't but help give themselves away.So Joe should have every supervisor in all of the Fedeal Departments ask every employee about their politics and fire any who are not liberal?
Yeah, that's probably a dumb an idea as I've ever heard except for the one listed in the OP.
However, the entire notion is as anti-American as it gets.
No one should ever be made to pay the price for speech.
There simply is no line.

Of course, I know the difference. I am not sure you do or if you are following the conversation.There is no need to ask them about their political beliefs.

Do you know the difference between private and governmental?
Or do you really want socialism?

How? Political affiliation is not a protected class.
Most Progressives agree that any private business should be free to fire any employee for the employees political affiliation.
How did you prove that?I worked for an employer who only took applications by mail sent to a generic PO Box. He very much screened his applicants for things like African American or Women's Studies type degrees or participation in groups he did not agree with.
