@TheOnionKnight It really does seem like conservatives are getting worse and worse. I mean what do they want these social media sites to be, something like 4chan or the other chans? Just completely unchecked vileness?

It seems like it's part of a larger push to equalize all opinions. If "protect minority groups" and "exterminate minority groups" are perceived as "equal" opinions, for example, then ultimately there is no moral or ethical compass to guide society. Instead, the loudest opinion becomes the "correct" opinion because, in a so-called "post-truth" society, there's no other way to determine what's real/fake or right/wrong. Whoever has the biggest megaphone gets to call the shots, since they can simply scream over everybody else and drown out any dialogue.

I have family members who are starting to dig their heels in deeper and deeper with this misguided notion that "all opinions are equally valid, due to Free Speech." And it's honestly terrifying. They have said reprehensible things about minority groups to me, and then just shrugged their shoulders because "it's only an opinion." My mother, in particular, loves what Texas is doing, in particular.

Meanwhile our grid is in danger because summer temperatures are climbing and it's overclocking due to the huge number of people with air conditioning, will Abbot do anything about it? Will Cruz? Of course not, their main concern is destroying public schooling under the guise of fighting illegal immigration, crafting more fuck civil liberty bills and overall being a horse's ass.
