I'm still hoping that X wins. I'm hoping that we learn how to coexist with a diversity of viewpoints. It seems counterproductive to partition everyone up into their own little gardens, without any viable opposition to the dominant views.

Why should a trans person have to put up with hordes of deranged cretins who believe that all trans people are inherently gross sexual predators? Why should people of color have to put up with all the nazis on that site who are gleefully awaiting when Trump will reopen the concentration camps?

Diversity of viewpoints is nonsense.

Why should Republicans have to put up with hordes of deranged leftists who believe all conservatives are inherently evil Nazi's? Why should white men have to put up with all the racists who believe they're systemically, irrevocably evil by nature, and awaiting the day that all white people can be killed or enslaved?

Diversity of viewpoints doesn't mean every viewpoint is equally valid. It means that we endure the crazies on both sides, and don't let their stupid theories prevent rational conversation and good-natured and loving people from coexisting. That is, we become more mature, and find ways to cool down the hyperbolic rhetoric -- not abandon each other.

You're saying this as if the transphobes and racists are some fringe offshoot and not the mainstream conservative position.

We aren't talking about our favorite flavor of Pringles here; coexisting means the right has to abandon their principals wholesale, not just say please and thank you while politely discussing how vaccines cause 5G or whatever.
