    Don’t just talk about it next time the topic of government overreach comes up, get angry about it. If you’re talking to someone you know, make them feel stupid for supporting a party that’s afraid of stickers.

      I would love to rub the average republican’s face in this sort of hypocrisy, but they don’t care. You can’t play chess against someone playing calvinball.

      Nothing matters to them except power. No reasoned arguments. No past events, statements, or beliefs. Only power.

      They’re an existential threat and we should treat them as such.

      I’m so sick of people somehow believing that being polite to bigots will magically change them. Punching them in the face and socially excluding them changes them

        Socially excluding them could have the opposite effect. Suddenly everyone they surround themselves with is also making jokes disparaging trans people and supporting their suspicions that masks are the mark of the beast and that vaccines will give you blood clots and kill you.

        You’re right, I was wrong. They don’t want to illegalize stickers, they want to prevent the government from protecting LGBT folks. They aren’t just dipshits afraid of stickers, they’re genuine monsters who want violence against those people to continue to skyrocket. They aren’t just hypocrites, they’re fucking fascists
