    And then they blow up the conversation like you’re crazy.

    “… I don’t care what they do”

    “But whatabout blah blah blah”

    “Yeah, whatever. Why is this even an issue to you? How many Trans people are in your life. Your life. Personally.”

    “That’s not the point!”

    “I think it is.”

      I actually operate an indoor rock climbing group and didn’t even realise how many of them were gay until years of climbing with them. 2 of them I’m still not sure. 1 of them I only figured it out because they had a climbing shirt on with a lgbtiq climbing community logo on it (and they actually operate that organisation)

      The hilarious part of the whole thing is that they spent years trying to trigger libs. But ultimately online, they’ve managed to create their own self sustaining trigger circle that mainly affects them. That they use to accumulate their whining. Whereas the rest of us now just see them as crazies.

      That doesn’t mean there are people on the left who aren’t crazy. But, that seems confined online. Whereas the right often seem to extend it offline because many seemingly don’t know the difference between reality and conspiracy theories anymore

      One thing you’ll notice about the right wing is that so many of them have a huge number of comments. Probably because most of them I suspect are retirees who jerked around during high school. It’s easy to comment when there is no attempt at supporting evidence
