One of the most American sentiments is this: Live and let live.

Stay out of others’ personal lives.

That’s what’s fueling this “MAGA Republicans are weirdos” vibe. It’s not just fucking weird but *wrong* that they are so concerned with how others, including every woman, chooses to live their own lives.

It rubs most Americans wrong. It’s not a liberal/conservative thing. It’s an American thing.

I think it’s a human thing too — and America should exemplify that aspect of humanity.

@gruber I like that this so clearly articulates exactly what calling them “weird” is NOT: it’s not saying that being outside the norm is a bad thing. It’s saying that your special brand of nutty is merely amusing until you try to force it on others.
