Immigrants, queer people, women, the disabled: all right here to offend, to their faces. But bigots don’t care.
I’ll accept that bigots in some way care about who they offend when you don’t get black bigots who hate black people, woman bigots who hate women, immigrants bigots who hate immigrants, queer bigots who hate queer people, and so on. There are people who talk to the kinds of people they are offensive about and towards every day, and they don’t care. “I’m right,” they say, “you’re just triggered.”

I’m old enough to have met extremely right-wing WWII veterans who voted for racist policies. “It’s not fascism because I like it.”
