When the “woke” mania swept the country in 2020, I took a step back and reevaluated where I stood and why I stood there. To my surprise, I found that I agreed with conservatives and libertarians on a number of issues. I opposed childhood gender transitions, unlawful and divisive DEI mandates, and the excesses of Critical Race Theory. I argued against biological males competing in women’s sports and being housed in women’s prisons. I did so loudly and publicly, losing many friends along the way.

Today, some of those same attorneys I worked with are advocating for my right to marry my fiancée to be stripped away.

I fell for obvious right-wing propaganda and rationalized the hate with reason and logic. Now the hate machine is coming for me and that’s not fair!

    And a vent about all of those who have “seen the light”, not this guy, this woman is a straight up continuing unrepentant moron, but others.

    These narcissistic morons wants all of us to simply forgive and welcome them back into the fold without judgment, feel sorry for them, and provide them the support they “need” because they fucked themselves over with their stupidity and selfishness.

    No, your actions had massive consequences for the rest of us, you don’t get judgment free forgiveness and unconditional support for your journey of getting your own head out of your ass.

    You want that, take a picture of your ballot and post it online to prove that you actually learned your god damn lesson and don’t vote stupid in the next and every election because your words are meaningless when your lack of intelligence to figure out the obvious.

      Except don’t actually do that, because posting a picture of your ballot invalidates it.
