My issue like this- 2nd Amendment.

On gun rights, I'm like the pro-choice Republican who hates Planned Parenthood because I think its run by man-hating lesbians or something.

 I basically think the NRA are a bunch of racists, naughty children and people who spend all their money on Johnnie Walker Black, if not Blue. That being said, I think the new gun control laws in my state besides universal background checks were a bad idea and that Federally or State mandated loss of civil rights upon a conviction of a serious crime should be handed down as part as sentencing for them to be enforceable, if they are constitutionally enforceable at all. However, I do think that an "arm" is only an "arm" if its .50 caliber and smaller, is designed to be handled and fired by one person and that if you attempt to buy a firearm when you know you are not supposed to, the gun store owner must be required to confine you and call the police/ATF.

     I think drug legalization should be aggressively pursued, but I have very little patience for drug users. Pot users can be particularly insufferable.

I was going to say something like this. The stereotypical pro-marijuana citizen slurring "Weed is just a plant, man. It's natural. So it's like harmless, but yet all of these chemicals in our food are okay. Dude." I want to throw a piano at these people. Everything is chemicals you dipsh**t. Most of the deadliest poisons are produced naturally by plants and animals. YOU are why weed still has a stigma in society. Ugh.

I want to reduce the cost of post-secondary education, but my fellow students are doing their best to make me hate them Tongue

Abolishing Income Taxes.

I believe that we need to replace it with a land values tax that will go much further in actually combating inequality.

Guess what 90% of the people who agree with me think Tongue

The Second Amendment.

I support most Second Amendment rights (with some safeguards, like background checks), but most of the people who agree with me on the Second Amendment are scary and probably up to something.

The banning of Opedo.

I didn't support his banning, but his obnoxious followers holding him up as a saint and martyr, their awful abuse towards the moderators, and their inconsistent and stupid arguments made it crawl and twitch in my entire body almost made me change minds just because their disgraceful behavior.

In your case I think anti-Semitism is the more obvious answer.

I'm gonna go with the abusive potheads in their late 20s/30s that do nothing but sit in their parents' basement all day while smoking weed and eating Cheetos.
