So, here me out, Charlie... I am going to agree with Sanders. She is 100% correct that her people didn't start the culture wars and never wanted them.

If they Jews hadn't whined about christian prayer in public schools, the gays not shoved it in everyone's faces that they deserved to be treated with dignity and respect, and definitely if those black people hadn't been so uppidy with their demands for fair bus seating and water fountain access, then we could all just live in peace and prosperity together as Americans.

Do those things constitute a "war" or is it just "fairness"?

Exactly! If those people stop complaining, we'll stop telling them it's not our problem.

Satire, dear. KC forgot his Parental Warning.
Got it. Went right past me.

pretty sure this is satire
Sorry man, I’m try to be clearer in the future.
Perfectly clear and quite brilliant.
/s at the end of sarcasm or satire, usually helps avoid that reaction
Nah--you're fine. Just remember your MPAA warning (The following is intended with Parental Guidance). I got what you were doing.
