“Your lawyer friend’s vision is too limited. The end goal is normalize all depravity.”
I think the problem of the left is, they have no end goal in mind. Their existence is to demand the rest of us do something to their liking. But once we have, they MUST move on to something even more. It’s not the destination, it’s the journey. We went from legalizing gay marriage to you MUST bake the cake in a stunningly short time. The law gave people with (let’s call it) an alternative worldview outsized power to force everyone to accept their worldview. Now we have schools opening up the girl’s locker room mostly because they don’t have the budget to fight the government paid lawyers on the subject of “hate” crimes.
I think, if the Republicans take all three houses, we need to seriously reign in hate crime legislation. It’s being used as lawfare much to destruction of society.
“Hate Crime” needs to go away entirely. It is the embryo of Thought Crimes.
Murder, battery, assault, rape, and vandalism are what they are. What the perpetrator was thinking when committed the crime is irrelevant and should not be a crime in itself or considered when the sentence is issued.
