Social issues are harder to fix and some due to religion never will. Can accept and still disagree but some can't accept that. It's accept accept accept instead of understanding they are two different things. For instance I believe that 2 same sex can have a "marriage" but a church shouldn't have to do the ceremony and shouldn't feel bad for denying it. You can have your rights without pushing out others rights. Try explaining that without someone exploding on you and calling you intolerant.

100%. I also never advocated or wanted to make gay marriage a thing.
I'm ok with individuals and religions and churches doing their own thing, gay or not.
I'm not ok with people who refuse to understand, or even talk hurting and bullying kids.
I'm ok with private businesses doing what they do.
I don't want federal taxes to go to promoting a social issue or discrimination. We can do that ourselves in our own communities. I also don't want states and the feds cracking down on municipalities doing things their way. We had a lot of state vs city vs corporate vs federal shenanigans making both sides escalate all the way to the supreme courts. Dems aren't solely responsible there. Clearly a few republicans took advantage of social issues themselves this time.
I want health care and what's available on the markets to be based on science and respectful of religion.
It's possible to do this without forcing people to choose a side.
A lot of the democratic party has used us though, it's corrupt as fuck. I did also grow up in an age where social issues aside, there was drugs, and crime, and corruption, and mafia, and gangs all manipulating politics.
My family cares about me. The ppl I see every day care, and we are just fine sitting across from each other at the local greasy spoon.
It's better now. I want that to stay better. Even if ppl want to go their own way.
Ideally.. hobby lobby can set its own rules, but if they buy federally subsidized health care, they have to follow federal rules, and should respect the people they hire. They have every right to discriminate, but no right to control peoples business, or abuse their corporate status to fund special interests attacking fair policies governing people who do not work for or belong to them.
Yet these things happen.
