I read the article, and it seemed to indulge in the same smug erasing as so many of the other two camps things. This time we focus on Kim Davis. How awful it was for everyone to dismiss Davis, not taking her beliefs seriously without good reason. What I remember as the crux of the issue when it was debated as here, how she may have been harming other people, doesn’t merit a mention.
Why would it? We’re only talking about conservatives and liberals – of course only represented by liberals with the privilege not to be in danger from the former – so we can ignore the rest of America, and then marvel at the disdain seen for conservatives, now without visible reason. And of course any disdain conservatives have for liberals is reaction to that, never a consequence of their biases, never stuff that would be invented and promoted anyway like the war on Christmas.
When Mindysan33 wonders at not wanting an authoritarian misogynist racist as president being considered “smug”, she’s not missing the point of the article, she is picking up the heart of its approach. People not caring who may be hurt by the conservative agenda, if not delighting in it, are the real reason Trump is president. We do ourselves no favors by imagining their victims were never the issue.
