Leo is certainly not to be judged by his brother’s rants. To each his own is the American Way.

except like 2 paragraphs up she describes the brother as "very American" while quoting his desire for everyone who isn't like him to be locked up.

maybe the author should clarify which is more accurately described as "the American way":

  • tolerance for everyone
  • wanting to incarcerate everyone who isn't a reactionary asshole

or, maybe it's the lib compromise:

  • tolerance, but only for the reactionary assholes who want to lock everyone else up

Libs love tolerance for the intolerant, it’s like their version of leftist purity politics

It’s good when we disagree so long as we can be civil about it.

Yea, I mean more that they use it as a litmus test. Shit like “Israel has a right to defend itself” and defending “Free Speech” for Nazis

Yeah that’s what I mean, libs love to have fascist opinions around them so long as they have a veneer of civility, a man in a suit saying in a calm unemotional manner “Israel has a right to defend itself” is the ultimate ‘civil’ remark to justify genocide, the adults are in the room. Not like the screaming blue haired freaks advocating for Palestine, blocking traffic shouting “from the river to the sea” - so uncivil.

Exactly! That’s their brain on idealism I guess.

to each his own is the American Way

mfw the phrase to each his own was coined in latin by cicero over 2000 years ago
