Maybe the Florida shooting is the last straw....

119. Yes, you are naive.

People have already gone on record celebrating this, most notably Dan Patrick of Texas. The lieutenant governor, if fact. If you think I'm going to unite with people like that, you are naive. If elected officials can stay that stuff, or people running for office, it's because they know it won't cost them votes. Because it is fully accepted among the constituencies.

Sure, a lot of people will post pictures on Facebook to show their "solidarity"; many will offer "thoughts and prayers" (quite literally the very least they can do), but in the end, nothing will get done to stop the carnage. Nothing will get done to stop the foaming-at-the-mouth bigotry that is very much a part of mainstream culture.

Spend some time in the dark corners of the internet and you will see it. It's not even that far away.

So, no, I'm not uniting with those people. I'd sooner lie down with a snake. If I get bitten, it's my fault. A snake can't help its nature.
