The real vagina shaped cupcakes in these situations are the one who get offended when someone's opinions don't fall in line with theirs.

Not that I disagree with that in principle, but the REAL problem has been the cultural shift on The Left from championing unpopular Free Speech to penalizing it. Like Rolling Stone has done for two decades in EVERY SINGLE ISSUE. As The Left has imposed strict standards of Correct Speech on society under threat of coercion, America has become completely intolerant of speech that offends them. Social Media has become an Orwellian "enforcement" tool to keep people in line and punish them if they step out of bounds. Conservatives just return the volley out of frustration. That is sad and pathetic.

I would like a return to the way it was a generation ago-we ALL offend the frick out of each other, and we all deal with it. Tolerance for intolerance, as it were. But when OUTRAGE is the Coin of The Realm, that's not likely to occur.
