I'm emotional about the fact that there's a portion of the population in this country that seem to think they have any sort of say over what types of medical care another portion of the population can have, where - or even if they get to use the bathroom, or - let's just be honest here - breathe, live; Ya know, little things like that.

This is why it's sooo fucking frustrating for me to see all these people shooting themselves in the foot. I dunno if any of y'all paid attention or not, but there was a pretty big election recently that got handed to a racist, recognized by the courts as a rapist, felon who is (and long has been) expressing blatant signs of dementia running on a platform that largely centered around kicking the brown people out of the country indiscriminately.

Your opposition here is fucking big, loud, nasty, violent MACROaggressions, and yet I still see people like you guys on here doing... what? Chastising people (who might actually be on your side already, mind you) who express signs of frustration/displeasure with the people who you need them to be upset with for being so fed up or whatever prompts their "I'm apolitical" statement? Not just chastising, even, but calling it a 'microaggression'? Which, aside from just sounding like the whiniest thing you can say, immediately paints them as the adversary, putting them on the defensive. And - for those of you playing along at home who might recall - since we've already established who your opposition is (or should be, rather), now that you've put our theoretical "apolitical" person into defense mode too, well... If the enemy of my enemy is my friend then...

Hmm... Maybe making people feel like they're just as bad as the racist fuckheads because they perhaps don't grasp that everything has something of a political component to it isn't the best strategy, as it turns out.
