People should be ashamed, just like they should be ashamed of having swastikas in their front yard.

I’m confused about what you thought you were signing up for when you clicked this article? At no point did I think it was solutions to problems. Also pretty hilarious to hear someone (I assume is) conservative talk about “logical ideas and a strategy to defend them.” HOW’S THAT HEALTH CARE PLAN COMING ALONG YOU…
“Not the end of the world” doesn’t quite cut it.
