I (23M) texted my mother (47F) and father (47M) saying that I want to quit my job at an auto shop because my boss (46M) has been getting more into my privacy and I was just on my phone writing a comment to another person on Snoop Dogg's post that was easily interpreted as political, and my boss was peeking in asking me if I was blogging as I was writing a comment during my walk-in to work. My mother told me not to be bothered by him and to just say "that's private [name]," and I told her it was basically about a comment I just wrote on Snoop Dogg's post and he was just asking me nosy questions. My mom said, "maybe he's being friendly." I can't say no to him, he always gets bothered when I'm political even in private but he is actively political too, a very conservative anti-Democrat type. My mom said not to let it upset me and that maybe he's just trying to socialize with me. I told her I regret ever following my personal pages on the TikTok business page (from my shop on the work phone), and that while my boss doesn't really mind, it's getting on my nerves now. My mom said, "Then unfollow those so he doesn't see. Keep work [life] and personal [life] separate."
My dad said something similar, saying, "It's ok, he's [a] good guy, don't trip." He agreed that I should stay away from politics, but he just made a huge meme out of an overused Mitch McConnell joke that even nonpolitical pages use. My mom is actively political, and so is my boss, so it's hard for me to distance myself from politics. Plus, the vast majority of my followers on my TikTok pages are really that highly into politics.
Most of my family and the people around me hate or at least dislike Joe Biden. I'm not a fan of him either, but unlike most, I sympathize with Biden supporters.

You shouldn't be posting on social media when you are at work.
I don't know what you mean by that? There are tons of TikTokers, even influencers, that post on social media while on duty as doctors, nurses, cops, etc. And also, my boss is quite lenient. I normally do social media posts for fun when he's not around, but even when he's around he doesn't care too much as long as I'm focused and busy. Also, I work only 2-3 hours a day and am getting paid under the table so it means little.
Plus the commenting was actually right before I was clocking in for work. We don't simply punch in or out, I just write in the time I came in on the Google Doc.
Just because other people behave poorly is no excuse for you to behave poorly.
It's a casual workplace and my boss "behaves poorly" too.
You need a better boss.
You're just a stoobidish Zionist choo.
