   I want everyone to get equal rights. That's it. You. Me. Blacks. Whites.   
   Asians. Jews. Atheists. Gays. Heterosexuals. Cis. Trans. EVERYONE.   
      
   But I am liberal. I want what is best for everyone. You are conservative. You   
   want special entitlements for yourself, those you identify with, and the very   
   rich. It is pretty much the defining characteristics.   
      
      
      
   --   
   It's impossible for someone who is at war with themselves to be at peace with   
   you.
