That sounds like somebody you could deprogram if it's worth your time.

Not all Republicans -- not even all Dumpies -- are Nazis. Some are simply gullible. And because of that it is often as easy to lead them out of the dark forest as it was for the orcs to lead them in.

For me, simply being myself and showing them my humanity deprogrammed several of them.

Well, you have to really constrain yourself not to corrupt Athenian youth in their presence. I know how hard that is as an atheist. Getting through a day without sacrificing a Christian baby and drinking its blood is so taxing.

I have to laugh more and more at the suggestion I need to move.

Drove into Eastown and East Hills in Grand Rapids today (5 minutes away from my house) with nearly every shop in those neighborhoods flying both BLM and Pride flags.

From a design standpoint, yes. The triangle alone was a design nightmare.

I'd rather have the rainbow and various stripey flags outside than something clunky and hard to look at.

From a design standpoint, yes. The triangle alone was a design nightmare. ... something clunky and hard to look at.

I'll say it: It's a hot mess.

They forgot a base rule of design: Simpler is gooder.

Yes, they had fabulous intentions, but a poor outcome.

Looks like a color-by-number gone wrong….
