    It just confirms that conservatives are only afraid of everything. It was race, it was gays, it’s now trans. Their entire platform is fear of everything. I saw a guy with a bumper sticker that said “Fuck Biden” and I assumed he was a scared little boy.

      Just double checking your awareness that this article talks about the country, not the state.

      I mean your comment is probably correct about both, I’m just saying FYI. 😁👍

          That is also my general understanding about hatred and neophobia/xenophobia in general. It’s the lack of understanding and fear or the unknown that fuels it.

            Pretty much all bigotry, is fueled by fear- fear of the other.

            And I’m only saying “pretty much” because it’s not like I’m an expert or anything

              It’s only evolutionary, to be afraid of the other. It’s what’s kept us alive for millennia. Thousands of millennia. Our society is evolving faster than our brains, unfortunately. We need to educate better.
