27. Conservative asshole

They think they're protecting their precious little snowflakes. In reality, the kids have ready access to all kinds of blistering porn from their computers and phones. This includes gay porn, which I guarantee every gay male teen looks at.

But a responsible, curated app for access to great books (you know...words instead of pictures) gets banned because of the presence of a very few healthy, non-porn LGBTQ+ titles.

America is finished. The dream is dead. It isn't worth the fight. We need a nationwide commission to explore an administrative break-up of red and blue America. In the UK they called it "devolution", where Scotland obtained a great deal of autonomy and independence and is practically its own country. They have their own parliament and are even working on their own constitution.

These animals (Republicans/conservatives) are picking apart America one chunk at a time. Now they're infiltrating the minds of children by depriving them of rights and information they need to grow up as healthy adults. A new generations of totalitarian right wingers is being developed.

Liberals: move to the coasts and elect supermajorities of Democratic lawmakers, executives and judges. One party rule is risky. But I'd rather deal with that than live under the totalitarian state of minority rule.
