"Trigger warnings" and "Micro aggression" AND you also have not spoken to the overall and general theme of activism attacking all aspects of our society.
Thanks

I have never heard the terms Tigger warnings and Micro aggression until your post so I cannot speak to them.
I do support gay rights and therefore agree with the Supreme Court's decision on gay marriage....if you call that activism then, in this case, I'll own that. But what about the conservative activism in regard to gay marriage? The Supreme Court has spoken it is the law of the land. This is NOT a liberal nor progressive court yet county clerks are refusing to issues marriage license's by wrapping themselves in religion. Did you not see the signs during the civil rights era "The Bible says Don't Mix the Races" cause I did.
But you haven't addressed the religious activism I encountered during my school years in the 50's. Remember the phrase Under GOD was added to the pledge of allegiance.... as well "In GOD We Trust" added to our money. Do you not remember the hate filled things said about Catholics during the Kennedy campaign and term. He was going to give the country to the Pope, we had large families to raise an army and we kept an armory in the basement of the church.
I have never been accused of being politically correct, just ask my former co-workers, so I think some of that stuff is just silly. Do I think we should seal the borders....yes I do and deport anyone here illegally. I scream at the TV when stories about "dreamers" and mixed status families are aired.
We are a product of our experience's....the religious bigotry I experienced shaped me.
