Other than that, anything does.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here&#8217;s what I am talking about:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"419\" src=\"https:\/\/skepticink.com\/prussian\/files\/2020\/04\/idt20040908asliberals.gif\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1639\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Summary: one shouldn&#8217;t be nice to right-wingers because we apparently want to firebomb newspapers, kill homosexuals, and lobotomize those who think differently.

Ha.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Contrary to her cartoon, the official right wing response to homosexual persecution looks like this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Milo Yiannopoulos kisses Gavin Mcinnes - Milo at Orlando Shooting Site\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/zgJWBr1u9-c?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is why I say Go Right or Get Out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To stress, this isn&#8217;t about anything beyond this one, crucial issue.
