Politics is downstream from culture, as Andrew Breitbart once said.

    I think the other thing that maybe people need to remember is that there’s pretty much always someone further left than you, and there’s a good chance they consider you a conservative.

    💯

    This could not be more true:

    I’m “liberal” and “progressive”. I’ve never voted for my countries “conservatives”, in fact I’ve voted for independants that many would call “far left” more than I’ve voted for our regular “left” recently. I voted YES in our referendum for gay marriage. I’m all for “gender identity” in adults if that’s what makes you happy.

    I do not, however, think children should be given “gender affirming care”, so that makes me a “bigot”, “far right”, a “nazi”, a “trumper”, and a “conservative” according to those too far gone on the left. If you won’t let a kid get a tattoo then you shouldn’t let a kid cut any perfectly good body parts off, or stunt their body and minds growth with “puberty blockers” aka chemical castration. If you won’t trust a kids opinion enough to let them vote, don’t let them make decisions that are life altering.
