If your government doesnt aide and protect you, it is your duty to force it to. Protect your fellow citizens, punch the Nazis running the government. It is your duty as an American. Even if it never actually was in history, it is now.

It's always the states with the most white people and fewest people at the same time who pass goofy shit like this. The most scared snowflakes in this country

When your civil rights laws prevent you from being a bigot, it’s time to stop the bigotry end civil rights.

And just like that, I yearn for an Iowa on fire. I now have less protection than corn there. What a shithole state.
