General Discussion

We need people more involved politically, socially. I don't think we get to say it's only the right way if someone agrees with us. Part of what Trump and his counterparts in other countries are appealing to are the disaffected. Bringing them in is necessary. There's plenty of research showing a correlation between things like knowing gay people or minorities and not hating them. If we leave the disaffected outside to only stew in their anger, it just keeps boiling.

I get the anger towards Kirk because he was a hateful bigot, but I still feel banning that is a mistake. The ACLU defends nazis being allowed to march and all sort of theory.
