  1. “Pro-life” activists who are also pro-death-penalty
  2. “Family values” supporters who are fine with parents kicking their children out of the house because gay/trans/sexually active/pregnant.
  3. All those critics of “safe spaces” for people who are dealing with any kind of emotional stress/trauma who also want their whole entire lives to be a safe space for them and their actions.

  7. People who celebrate Christmas to the nines while hating on immigrants and refugees.
