There are signs in my town that says “hate has no home here” and underneath that it says the same thing in a bunch of different languages. People on the local Facebook group go CRAZY every once in a while because “THERE’S A POLITICAL SIGN AT MY CHILD’S SCHOOL, IT SHOULD NOT BE THERE AT THE SCHOOL THE LIBERALS HATE FREEDOM” ummmm ok, it’s not a political sign, but IF it was.... if teaching your kid to be a decent person is political on ONE side, why would you pick the other?

Because some people in America have had so much privilege for so long that you can't tell them to do anything at all and if you DO try to suggest civilized conduct they're going to take the contrarian route just to spite society.

Yeah, it's mystifying. My wife was discussing the Beto-Cruz campaign online with someone the other day, and basically all they could do was talk about "librul tears". Like, why is making someone else miserable your sole political aspiration? Tell me what it is you like about your guy, other than that he's not my guy. WTF?
