I watched a video with an American politician who said she is angry that people think gay kids shouldn't be bullied. She thinks they should be bullied and encouraged it when she was a teacher before going into politics.
It does not matter if I try to find the meaning under her thoughts and words. You know why? Because it will never be reciprocated.
Two intelligent writers debating an issue is civil discource within parameters that don't exist when someone from the far right is spouting hateful beliefs. Reciprocity is required for civil discussion and that doesn't happen with the far right.
