    And the main reason they’re not happy is that they got left behind by the evil fucks they keep voting for. It’s beyond maddening.

      I had an old lady get emotional over a government subsidy offered to help reduce some of her septic system expenses. It was the first time in a long time the government ever helped her she said. It felt good to help.

      Then I had another old lady tell me she was going to die and it was going to be my fault and I deserved to go to hell because that same rebate program ended and there was no funding left.

      One step forward one step back.

          The difference is, I support people to have any kind of sexuality or gender or life or love that they want, I actively want them to have those rights.

          But I don’t hang those flags all over my car, my yard, my clothes, my pets, etc. Maybe a few people do here and there, but I don’t feel so threatened in my values that I need to constantly reaffirm it and display it to the world. Most people feel this way, even though the majority of Americans support these rights.

          This is why you see far, far more Trump propaganda than ANY kinds of special awareness flags. Which are totally different anyway. One supports an idea. One worships a man who wants to police ideas.

            Would you say then that the Jesus is not… ahem (bad incoming joke alert) “Optional”? (and vice versa)

            Okay, I’ll see myself out.
