All men are created equal, except those who have a different viewpoint and beliefs than we do. Or belong to an opposing political party. Kinda like free speech, we’re all for it when we agree with it and against it when it differen from what we think.

That's why I fear the extreme right as much as I do the extreme left. Both claim to be for freedom but sadly only if you agree with them

As things stand now, more far-righters than far-lefters seem to be more tolerant of opposing viewpoints.

That is probably because you mostly walk on the right. In the MOR it's easier to see.

 

Like all you right wingers want to deny kids the right to explore their true gender identity.

It's extremely hard to be objective about this. I disagree with you, but that is based on my own experience and the environment I am in (left-leaning in a very red state). Neither of us can see the forest for the trees.

There is a ton of bias on both sides and it just keeps getting worse. It concerns me more than just about anything else going on the U.S. today.
