And that's a good thing.

The good thing is that it upholds equal protection under the law...at least to the degree that it can in this context. That's the good part. That it angers the opposition is merely incidental.

This idea that anything that makes the other tribe angry is awesome is specious to the point of being counter-productive IMO. It's why we have abandoned principle in favor of populism, it's why we have a cult of Trump, and it's why the base is so easily manipulated by the left.

We need to let go of this junior-high mentality and go back to being the adult in the room. The left has always been childish. Now that the right has embraced being childish there's no adult left to see to it that bills get paid and the house doesn't burn down.
