“They removed photos of her from their websites and Potter tattoos from their bodies.”

I actually can’t think of anyone I respect less than the person who gets a Harry Potter tattoo removed.

I actually can’t think of anyone I respect less than the person who gets a Harry Potter tattoo removed.
Like the baseline we are starting at is that you have a Harry Potter tattoo. So you’re already a moron. But then you get the tattoo removed because you’re a huge fan of child molesters and you feel offended on their behalf.
So what do you call kindergarten teachers asking 5 year olds about their genitals, encouraging them to hide conversations from their parents, and promoting grown men stripping as a form of “inclusion?”
And yet the Democrats promote those very things in both policy and rhetoric and they are most certainly not out of a job. The dude calling himself Rachel is insisting on making sure child genital mutilation is embraced as part of the policies he’s implementing as part of his politically appointed position and these people are certainly not out of a job because of the political party that backs them. In fact the political party involved investigated parents and called them domestic terrorists for saying exactly what you just said.
We need to recognize reality. Political reality is that there may always be extremes, but they are only truly dangerous when the extremes are driving policy. There are no "extreme" factions on the right driving policy today. The extreme left is the SOLE driver of policy right now on the left.
Platitudes like "both parties have extremes" is how people get easily convinced that being a "haven" for 12-year-olds to genitally mutilate their own bodies without their parents even knowing or kindergarten teaches talking to 5-year-olds about their genitals and being born in the "wrong" body is somehow "equivalent" to taking porn out of public-school libraries and banning child genital mutilation since the damage is often irreversible. In reality these things aren't even in the same universe, but people believe they are because they believe the platitude "both parties have extremists" and become convinced completely reasonable actions, like removing porn from public schools for children, is just as extreme as mandating it be shown to little kids.
The best argument anyone has for "extremists" on the right is around abortion, but even that gets exaggerated by the opposition with false claims a 6-week elective ban with many exceptions is "really" going to ban birth control or the morning after pill. Moreover, the actual policies being promoted on the left are at least as extreme as they openly claim that burning a 38-week baby alive in saline, or ripping a 30-week baby apart alive, while that human being killed feels every bit of it, for ANY reason, is "healthcare." The majority of the country would like to follow a common European approach of a post 10-12 week ban on elective abortions. Once things settle down, I think most states and/ or the country will end up at that more reasonable and moderate position. My point is in this case BOTH extremes control the policy in this one area.
You are correct on the media which is a huge problem and screams of a need for antitrust. Many industries do - healthcare, banking, media, technology. Even public education needs to have competition which for most of the population the consolidation of school districts and opposition to school choice by the left prevents. We need anti-trust and a commitment to competition. We have a better chance of actually getting that by supporting moderate populists with growing power in the Republican party in the primaries than we will begging the Democrats to stop acting crazy or building a 3rd party from the ground up.

I just can’t even believe these are real people.
GREAT, tattoo comment.
