    I kind of agree, but it’s funny how now we’re blaming the republican victory on the vegans, of all people.

      Vegans poisoned our water supply, burned our crops, and delivered a plague onto our houses!

        But they didn’t slaughter our livestock. Gotta give 'em that.

      I’m not blaming it on vegans. I’ve been vegan for years. I think more people should try it. I’m blaming it on the fact that people can’t shut up about stuff like what we’re eating long enough to be effective. Right now, there are an awful lot more people than usual in my community seeking out food banks and I don’t give a shit what they eat as long as they’re fed. I’m running a food drive and I don’t care if people bring beef stew all day.

      And the people who see the word “vegan” and feel compelled to rush in to shit on the idea are equally at fault. Like, nobody asked you to come in to the conversation and start complaining about how annoying all vegans are. Or worse, posting about it out of nowhere. How is that productive?

      How about people eat what they want and we can argue about the moral and environmental ramifications of those choices when we stop living in such interesting times.

      To be clear, veganism is not THE issue. It’s one of many leftists can’t seem to stop arguing about long enough to make concrete changes.
