A colleague recently emailed me a picture of a seemingly political gesture that was roiling her office and asked me what I thought. The picture was of a 10-by-3-inch sticker, openly affixed to an employee’s desk, stating “Make America Blue Collar Again” in big red, white and blue block letters.

Her company is tucked away in a small, progressive community that went for Kamala Harris over Donald Trump in the 2024 presidential election by nearly 2 to 1. Several employees expressed their discomfort with the sticker to HR. Questions swirled, and gossiping ensued. What was the exact purpose of the sticker?
