    “If somebody wants to eat that stuff, they’re welcome to it — they’re just not gonna find it in Nebraska grocery stores.”

    So they are not, in fact, “welcome to it”.

      Probably their same view on other aspects of (actual) freedom, like abortion and freedom FROM religion, and so on. You are welcome to it, but first, you have to GTFO.

      Because FREEEEEEEEDUMB.

      These people are always about the opposite of what they say they value. Competition? In the free market? Fuuuuuck that noise. We want massive subsidies poured into making poisonous products like beef while using up staggering amounts of water, land, and fuel, while poisoning the planet, because fuck you.

        This is one reason why I keep referring to states with legal weed “free states”. That’s why I love loving in Colorado. For the states that had trigger laws that kicked in on abortion the minute the illegitimate “supreme” court reversed 50 years of legal precedent, I started calling those states Gilead states.

        The qons and the Enlightened Centrists ™ think that kind of frank language is just all too much, man, but I don’t think it is hyperbole at all.
