    It just confirms that conservatives are only afraid of everything. It was race, it was gays, it’s now trans. Their entire platform is fear of everything. I saw a guy with a bumper sticker that said “Fuck Biden” and I assumed he was a scared little boy.

      Just double checking your awareness that this article talks about the country, not the state.

      I mean your comment is probably correct about both, I’m just saying FYI. 😁👍

          That is also my general understanding about hatred and neophobia/xenophobia in general. It’s the lack of understanding and fear or the unknown that fuels it.

            Pretty much all bigotry, is fueled by fear- fear of the other.

            And I’m only saying “pretty much” because it’s not like I’m an expert or anything
