7 months ago@Sethayy the existence of people not offended by something prejudiced always seems to be dragged out as a justification for that prejudice.
If some people being offended isn’t reason enough not to say something, then it stands to reason that some people not being offended isn’t a reason why it’s okay.
If it is, then there are definitely people who are offended.

Unfortunately, one of the conservatives’ strategies at play here is they only give “right of conscience” to people with political power over other people.
They aren’t giving normal citizens the right to object to anything, they’re giving unelected officers the right to torment those beneath them.
And unless you’re willing to be as evil to innocent people as they are, you can’t fight that war.
In the end what they’re destroying here is the rule of law itself.
