    You might care if someone close to you, who was a closeted gay, is ripped out of their home one night and never heard from again? Maybe a family member, with a black spouse, is lynched for daring to marry a white woman? Or, even closer to home, perhaps a tweet or post you made from 2010 suddenly becomes against a decency law and you’re questioned, tortured, and jailed for it?

    At what point, exactly, would it behoove you to care? When it’s your neck on the line only?

      Trans enby here.

      If you want to avoid those horror stories, then stop whining at people who have lost faith in the Democrats and start doing something to restore it.

        Oh look, downvotes for telling people they catch more flies with honey than vinegar.

        With Democrats like these, who needs Republicans?
