re: #249 Obdicut

Why should it take knowing someone personally to be able to understand they deserve equal civil rights?

People don’t like to think of old people as being bigoted, I think is the issue.

On a somewhat related note, I think that one of the worst outcomes of the past 30 years has been the transferral of retirement financial security from a social obligation to a private one, in that it raises exactly the kinds of issue that we see here: the tying of one’s personal comfort in retirement to the espousal of radical right-wing bigotry.
