Remember the times when "liberal position" was kinda like "I don't give a flying fuck what you do, whom you have sex with and all of that for as long as it's all between consentng adults, nobody's hurt and if I don't have to watch" and the "Nazi position" was "you'll watch what I say, you'll like what I say, or else"?
Guess I'm real old.... 🤣
