So good from Samantha Bee. I don't know how these people reconcile the idea that personal liberty is the bedrock of our society, and then turn around and say...
- Except for two dudes getting married
- Except for teaching people to think critically on science and religion
- Except for people making their own reproductive decisions
- Except for allowing a woman to make her own medical choices
- Except for poor people's right to vote
- Except for brown people's freedom to drive where they live
- Except for religions other than christianity
Sure, one can make a list for democrats: seatbelt & helmet laws, healthcare, sin taxes, soda bans, gambling, all with a big dose of inconsistency.
I think the fundamental disconnect here is that when you live in a free society, you have to put up with others doing things that you do not approve of. This includes things that are against your value system or moral code or religious beliefs. So you must compromise a right; OK, but for fucks sake do it to benefit the larger society. This is not socialism, it's just how we decide that we all drive on the right side of the road, how much rat feces is allowed in cereal, and to support basic research.
Anyway, the comedy is what's important. Watch the comedy.
