There is NO Muslim Brotherhood in Iran.. Roseanne is very stupid..
The First Amendment only means the government can’t silence you or attempt to curtail speech (i.e. you won’t be intimidated or jailed for your speech.)
Your private employer on the other hand, can curtail your speech and punish or fire you if they decide your opinions are racist or sexist or violate some core company value.
The consequences also apply outside of work in the general culture. As Jack Holmes says in Esquire: “Free speech” does not mean you get to say anything without any repercussions in society. The government cannot impose penalties on you, but your peers can by maintaining social norms that make it socially unacceptable — shameful, even — to behave in that way. You can’t lose your liberty, but you can lose your friends and your livelihood. The Constitution doesn’t protect your popularity.”
Wrong again.
There has always been Muslim Brotherhood in Iran, and they are usually on good terms with the government of Iran, and only a few times in disagreement.

When the Arab Spring revolutions broke out in 2011, the Islamic Republic of Iran hailed them as an “Islamic awakening” and considered them as a continuation of its own revolution in 1979. The affinity that Iran saw in the Muslim Brotherhood was real.
Even today Iran recognises the Brotherhood and Tehran have much in common, particularly the notion of “Islamic democracy”.
Mustapha Zahrani, the head of the Institute for Political and International Studies which is the research centre of the Iranian Foreign Affairs Department, said: “The Muslim Brotherhood’s ideas do really matter for the founders of the Iranian Islamic Republic. We believe in the Islamic democracy and in a moderate Islam: as do organisations close to the Muslim Brotherhood in Turkey and in Egypt."
Then there is the history: Ayatollah Ali Khamenei translated into Farsi the works of Sayid Qutb, an intellectual and one of the founding thinkers of the Brotherhood, who was killed in prison in Egypt in 1966. They also share the same politics: both support Palestine and are opposed to Western powers.
During the 1980s, the Iranian Islamic Republic had been a role model for many leaders of the Brotherhood, such as Fathi Yakan in Lebanon or Rached Ghannouchi in Tunisia, founder of the Movement of Islamic Tendency, now known as Ennahda.
In June 2012, Mohamed Morsi, leader of the Freedom and Justice Party, close to the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt, became the country's first democratically elected president of the Republic. Iran applauded.
Two months later, Morsi went to Iran, during the Non-Aligned Movement Summit. That was a real event for, since 1979, Iran had not forgiven Egypt for signing a peace treaty alone with Israel. Nevertheless, after a 33-year diplomatic freeze, an Egyptian president was invited in Tehran as a Muslim brother.

And freedom of political expression has NOTHING to do with the Bill of Rights.
It pre-existed the Bill of Rights and the whole federal government.
It is state law and state constitutions where rights can be seen, not federal law or constitution.
And employer discrimination against political expression has always been completely illegal, and must always remain so.
No democratic republic could survive if political discrimination were allowed.
