The editorial writer states it is time to ostracize conservatives. Conservatives, she argues, should be shunned.
Quote:
While freedom of speech clearly means that the government should not punish people for holding [conservative] opinions, it is reasonable for communities to protect ourselves from such harmful and dangerous [conservative] views by ostracizing those who hold them. The tenets of contemporary “conservatism” include supporting the president as he cages children; preventing gender nonconforming people from using restrooms by subjecting us to restrictions based on the impossible-to-test-for “chromosomal sex”; using Jews and rhetorical props but attacking liberal Jews using antisemitic tropes; calling fascists “very fine people”; and preferring that transgender children commit suicide than have access to gender-affirming medical care.
We've always known there are few people less tolerant than progressive liberals, but I found this guest editorial to be shocking.
Both liberals and conservatives should be shunned.
Non-aggression principled shunning is a vital aspect of a free market.
Since Red and Blue are Marxists though they don't simply limit their shunning to the market. They run to Sammy and request that he draws his gun from his holster and enforce the shunning that way.

Well "conservative views" are that people who aren't the right race, religion, or sexual orientation shouldn't be treated as equal under the law. It's that there's a divine social order that should be enforced with zero tolerance for individuality if the individual doesn't conform to accepted social norms. Bigotry and hate should be shunned. Conservatives are going to find that the more they try to impose their religion and their ideology on everyone, the more pushback they are going to get.

Does this clown realize that Obama put children in cages?

Shunning a group just pushes them farther into marginalization, and extremism.
