    False equivalency.

    “We should focus more on corporate taxes rather than individual taxes” is an opinion; “gay people shouldn’t have rights” isn’t an opinion, it’s hate.

    Don’t try to pretend these are on the same level. Supporting American conservatism requires a level of moral bankruptcy.

      Both are opinion, something being abhorrent doesn’t make it not an opinion. Opinions can be hateful.

        Yes but I don’t have to respect those opinions enough to validate them by acknowledging them. If those are your “opinions” then you’re a monster and you can fuck off. Don’t expect any respect from me; we need less kid gloves and more people calling out assholes in the world.
