I'm responding to this days later, but I think you're prevaricating. On one hand you're right. People should focus on what's important. On the other hand, we have an obvious case of people doing exactly the opposite, going nuclear on a nothing-burger and bringing government institutions to bear against people who aren't doing what they want them to.
In a normal, reasonable world, the worst that should happen here is that folks view the Township of Emo as backward, old-fashioned, or perhaps a bit ignorant. Maybe if the Township didn't like the negative attention, they'd vote the Mayor out, or maybe they'd quietly appreciate it. It's up to them.
Instead, now we are living through the batshit madness of the CHRC laying the hammer down and imposing fines on people for not flying a rainbow flag.
If anyone is struggling to understand how a turd like Trump gets elected (a second time no less), you need look no further than cases like this.
