No hate so pure as Christian “love”.

What we all know is these types of bigots are on the outs. Shame the fuck out of them, they don’t do anything positive for your communities. They are wildly thrashing (with seemingly powerful national voices). They will never completely go away but they are reacting to a change in the norms that’s been coming for decades.

Holy shit this is an upsetting read. This poor couple. I wish the town they were cornerstones of would have forced these fascists from town as soon as they became a problem.

Sad to see this type of hate.

I for one am shocked that bigots are shitty people who can't treat others with dignity and respect.

@Col3814444 The Plains was such a nice town. Now the Trumpist family moved in. All I needed to read is that the new neighbors had a family pic taken at the Capitol on J6. So they are rat bastard traitors stirring up trouble.

I just don't understand this behavior. Like isn't it easier to ignore these people and not give their business money? I have a neighbor I really dislike cause he's a jackass, you know how much energy I spend hating him? None, I just ignore his ass. Why do these "conservatives" need to go out of their way to make other people miserable when you could just move on with your life and not interact with people you disagree with.

I mean because these idiots think adults doing what they want is perpetuating sin and they are "InDoCtRiNaTiNg" future generations to be as sinful as they are. So they are fighting a cultural crusade for the morality of this country (lets just ignore we aren't even past the average lifespan of a human (in the us) yet since the civil rights act, which acted like it was perfectly moral and just to exclude blacks/minorities from public accommodation just because they were born with a certain pigmentation of skin)
