When the “woke” mania swept the country in 2020, I took a step back and reevaluated where I stood and why I stood there. To my surprise, I found that I agreed with conservatives and libertarians on a number of issues. I opposed childhood gender transitions, unlawful and divisive DEI mandates, and the excesses of Critical Race Theory. I argued against biological males competing in women’s sports and being housed in women’s prisons. I did so loudly and publicly, losing many friends along the way.

Today, some of those same attorneys I worked with are advocating for my right to marry my fiancée to be stripped away.

I fell for obvious right-wing propaganda and rationalized the hate with reason and logic. Now the hate machine is coming for me and that’s not fair!

    Didn’t make it very far into the article; I had to stop reading right there. I can’t handle this much ignorance and bigotry. What a fucking clown. 🤡

      Ask her to describe what any of those mean, and she’ll just mumble a bunch of bullshit about how they’re performing surgeries in school, how DEI is just about hiring black people, and Critical Race Theory is about NASCAR or something.

      I had to stop here:

      “This is a dangerous game right-wing culture warriors are playing. If Obergefell falls, it won’t just impact same-sex couples. It will set a precedent that fundamental rights can be granted and taken away by the shifting winds of political power. This should concern every American, regardless of their stance on same-sex marriage.”

      Fucking bozo bash

      You weren’t missing much by stopping there. I wish I had. She still doesn’t realise that she’s been a useful idiot to them all along.
