Holy shit is this really going to be the new "both sides"?
"they might be actually attacking people for being different...but Democrats are calling them weird for this. I can't, in good conscience, vote for Democrats!"
My decision is a direct result of my fairly unique life circumstances. I don't think anyone else cares, and I don't really hold that against them. There are a lot of things wrong with the world, and a lot of different reasons for people to vote a certain way.
You're free to vote for whoever you want for whatever reason you want. Everyone else is free to point out how absolutely ridiculous those reasons are, especially when it's clearly contradictory to what you are claiming to actually care about.
The way they are doing it is needlessly vitriolic and cruel. I have a hard time seeing how anyone writing these comments can be a good person.
They're literally just calling them weird, my man. If this is "needlessly vitriolic" then it might be time to look in the mirror because calling me a bad person is at least as bad as that.
