Back in the mid-20th century, the FBI could place an individual under surveillance solely for being LGBTQ. This is what enabled the anti-queer witch hunts of the McCarthy era.

A lot of what people object to isn’t just outright hate. They object when liberals just refuse to sympathize with Trump voters who are impacted negatively by Trump’s policies. Trump voters aren’t entitled to our sympathy.

it’s my prerogative to hate all trump voters, they are adults who have agency

the people showing up to republican town halls are far better at "resisting" than a single person protesting Democrats instead of republicans. a lot of supposed political experts on this app could learn from these nonpolitical folks how to do political action.
