    It doesn’t really matter. The left is always pushing for peace and unity. The right is always pushing for violence and division. I’m blaming both on the right.

    Hell from what I can tell, Tyler appears to have simply been horrified by the hate and bigotry he witnessed first hand, which put trans lives (like his roommate’s) in jeopardy.

    That could very well not be the case, but that’s what it looks like to me.

        It’s always been a post-facts world. Propaganda has been around a long time and religion even longer.

      I blame the left for not being more violent. It’s led us to where we are.

      Just yesterday I was driving home and passed a bunch of people with signs - “down with fascism!” and “No Kings!” and while I agree, I couldn’t help but think of how they’ve managed to pass gun ban after gun ban and restrictions on top of restrictions in my state.

      “We won’t accept a dictator!” (Actual sign, last one I could see as I drove by) <- motherfuckers, exactly how do you plan on not accepting him? He runs the media, the election board, has his own gestapo, and all you’ve managed to do is disarm honest people.

      I’d sincerely love to be wrong but as far as I can tell we’ve lost, the nation is simply fucking evil now and won’t be going back.
