#1 Your comment is so right, lord garth. Democrats (& others) on Twitter regularly whine at me for being a gay guy who votes Republican (not that I mind the discussion that follows, though I usually - surprise! - get blocked). Meanwhile we have a president who mocks legitimate concerns over the spread of Islamism as "fear of widows and orphans". As I tell them, if you think a person who believes a child is better off with both a mom and a dad is a bigger threat to gay people than thousands of unvetted immigrants from the heart of Daeshistan, you're either very ignorant, or highly committed to a faith-based dogma. On second though, I don't much blame them for preferring to block me to trying to respond logically to that challenge. It doesn't seem to cause them to question the idea that THEY are the tolerant ones, however.

#2 Attack them based on how being blocked makes you feel. It will drive them crazy.

#3 Ahaha! Of course, I have to say that before they block me or they won't see it. Because they are so often people who claim the GOP are religious fanatics, they often get perturbed when I accuse them of being dogmatic about their faith-based views.

#4 a gay guy who votes Republican (not that I mind the discussion that follows, though I usually - surprise! - get blocked).

Apparently, in order to usher in a New Age of Freedom and Diversity, we all need to think alike. No doubt there is some Marxist verbiage that makes this seem less stupid than it is.
