"Republicans favor freedom association and strong property rights when it allows them to discriminate against people they don’t like. They oppose freedom of association and strong property rights when it allows others to discriminate against them."

And the pathetic thing is, there are actually interesting and necessary arguments to be had about the tradeoffs between freedom, fairness, equity, security/safety, use and enjoyment of property etc.

But we can't have those arguments in a good-faith way when a large bloc of the populace is soaking in malignant self-regard and grievance fetishism.

Thank you. This was beautifully written. It also makes me hate republicans more than I already do.
