Who would have thought prohibitionists would look like the way Wokesters look
today, but here we are.  They are the prohibitionists of the modern era.

I have stopped caring whether someone thinks I'm 'bigoted' or not.  If you
don't care what these people think, they lose power.  Instead of debating them,
trying to debunk them, we should just laugh at them.  Laugh and mock and most
importantly, NOT take them seriously.

This is what irks me about conservatives.  They take them seriously, they argue
with them, which gives them the gravitas they need to survive.
