The meanings of words change over time, Sunny. You're allegedly a
highly-educated lawyer, so you should know that.

Do we need to go over the history of the word 'gay' for that concept to sink
through that bone spur you call a skull?

Well, you got that one right, Sunny. I don't care about your 'lived
experience'. You're one of the most racist people on TV. You're a horrible
person and whatever experiences you've had concern me not in the slightest.

And what the hell is 'lived experience, anyway? What other experience could
you have other than that through which you've lived?

> you don't care about the oppression of the LGBTQ community

What more protections do they need? They've already been included in the civil
rights statutes as a protected class and they have Hollywood, the government,
academia, and every major corporation constantly celebrating them like the
second coming. When you have every sector of society throwing you a party,
you're no longer oppressed.

> you don't care about the oppression of immigrants

This is 'progressive' code for, "You're a racist if you oppose unfettered
illegal immigration and complete non-enforcement of United States immigration
law."

Except when protesters and activists make Democrats uncomfortable, right,
Hoo-Pie?

We get this all the time from Democrats. They advocate for all sorts of
in-your-face activism until someone turns their tactics around on them and all
of sudden it becomes "harassment" and "fascism" and "the destruction of
democracy".
