Sopme people believe folks should be who they are, and others want to force them into boxes, discriminate against them, and generally poke their nose into shit that's none of their business, and that they poorly understand in any case.

Most of those same folks in the second group are real big on taking rights away from anyone who isn't like them. (GOP is, after all, the party of taking things away, and has been for as long as I can remember.)

And no one really wants that shit here, or has much tolerance for it.

You are getting what you want in the streets right now, a lot of terror being visited on those who don't conform to the maga worldview. They'll get around to physically attacking queer folks soon instead of just trying to take their rights away. So go ahead and enjoy it until we find a way to put a stop to it, but don't come here to try spreading more of your baseless shit and expect a warm welcome.

I dont belong to any party thanks. I do find it interesting that your side has taken the position that anyone that disagrees with you in any way is your enemy. Ultimately that position will make recruiting voters for your cause more difficult. The other side's messaging and strategy seems far more effective and the diversity in their voting base and increased margins of minority supporters\LGBTQ\female voters would indicate your side will not return to power anytime soon(unless they lose them). Have you ever thought of adopting a different approach?

You are willfully spreading bigotry via strawmen and a poor understanding of those you seek to oppress. That's what makes you my enemy. Not that you disagree "in any way."

I dont belong to any party thanks.

So? No reason to think you voted for anyone other than Trump based on positions you've expressed. And even if you did, you are clearly on board with the destruction of everything that doesn't center cis white hetero men as is currently taking place.

To be spreading bigotry I would first have to express my opinion, which i never did. I never said what I thought or what I believed was the correct or appropriate outlook or position. For you to even incorrectly perceive the slightest challenge to your fragile belief system results in name calling and bullying even if it didn't even occur.

Except for in that moderator removed comment that began this lovely discourse between you and I. I replied while it was still up, so I know what it said. Did you know anyone can see those here?

And that ain't all you can see.

Believe me, when I find a conservative expressing a non-repugnant opinion some day, I'll be so excited to have found such a unicorn that I'll be happy to give credit where it's due.

"Bullying" is what conservatives call it when you call them out on their bullshit. Like how we spent several years having to listen to every conservative on social media somehow use social media to tell us they were being unfairly driven from social media.

Great, show them. At no point do they say this is my opinion or this is what I think. I don't know why they would even be removed. Like I told you before i have voted for liberals, conservatives, democrats, and republicans in my life and hold allegiance to none of them. Take care.

Will do.

YOUR comment, which you somehow claim does not express YOUR opinion:

It is true if you believe that it takes more to being a woman than just saying you're a woman. That seems to be where the disagreement lies.

-MANY of these, which are usually triggered by slurs:

-Coupla trolls and a verbal attack, but hey...

-Getting jucier:

-Ahhh:

-And there it is:

As a group, for folks so convinced you have the moral high ground, you really seem to be prone to denying your own actions. You'd think you'd be proud to stand by your words.

In any case...

Take care.

And you as well. I'll be blocking you now, so you won't have to worry about any future fact checking from me.

I'm open to having dialog with anyone. To speak about any topic. Is there over censorship in social media? Sure. Do you get banned for disagreeing with others? Yes. Anytime you want to show my bigoted hate speech go right ahead.
