If being happy is an option, then you won't readily acquiesce to suffering. The real reason conservatives hate non married, non cis, non straight, child free, educated, metropolitan, singing, dancing, laughing, people people is that they are themselves deeply sad, and the prospect of alternatives is an affront to their chosen salf made prison. They're like attack dogs that have been abused and riled up, and the GOP is like the junkyard owners that uses their misguided, misdirected, focussless rage to protect their kingdom of shit. Who are themselves trapped within the confines of a hollow parody of reality, which they must defend at all costs or face the consequences of ontological collapse.
They wish they could but the tran atheles wont stoop low enough for Republicans.
...and by doing so they distracted from actual issues and got low-information, low-critical-thinking-skills votes for a non-issue.
I don't even think my local lefty station covers the community that well enough. How much of a hate boner do these phobes have to show. JFC
