Sad story. But always good to see someone take a stand. I hope they land on their feet.

I’ll never be able to comprehend the hypocrisy of some on the right.

“I want a small government that lets the free market do its thing, doesn’t tell me what to do, and doesn’t bother with regulation even when it comes to literal murder machines.”

“We need to take these books off the library shelf because I don’t agree with them and I don’t understand a lifestyle that isn’t my own.”

These two thoughts should not be able to go through the same brain. I know the answer is that they’re actually more motivated by hate and fear that “freedom”, but god damn is it annoying. Go live your own lives and stop worrying about what people do in the privacy of their own bedroom. Worried about child grooming? Go after the actual groomers found in churches and other places of power.
