The Washington Free Beacon<\/a> posted an article today about some recent apartment and roommate searches in Washington, D.C.<\/a> It seems as if the idea of tolerance is taking a vacation. It also seems that those calling for tolerance have forgotten how to be tolerant.<\/p>\n

The article lists some of the various ads for apartments<\/a> and roommates:<\/p>\n

“Roommates Wanted. Trump Supporters Need Not Apply,” the Times (The New York Times<\/a>)<\/em>reports<\/a>, arguing that anti-Trump<\/a> rental policies are legal despite political affiliation being a protected trait under D.C. law<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

…”[T]wo women in their 20s were searching for a roommate to take over a lavender-colored room in their Columbia Heights<\/a> apartment for $550,” the Times <\/em>reported. “The women detailed their love of happy hours, a \u2018good Netflix<\/a> sesh,’ pho and tacos.”<\/strong><\/p>\n

“We’re open to any age\/gender identity\/non-identity,” the liberal women said. “So long as you didn’t vote for Trump.”<\/strong><\/p>\n

…”If you’re racist, sexist, homophobic or a Trump supporter<\/a> please don’t respond,” the posting said. “We won’t get along.”<\/strong><\/p>\n

…”I have a visceral reaction to the thought of having a Trump supporter in my house,” said\u00a0<\/a>one person who had planned to rent out a room during the inauguration. “No amount of money could make me change my mind. It’s about moral principles.”<\/strong><\/p>\n

The only conservative quoted in the Times <\/em>piece said he would live with anyone, regardless of their political beliefs.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Aside from the legality of this, what does it say about the opposition to Donald Trump<\/a>? This is disturbing. Whatever happened to the idea of being able to sit down and discuss something? What specifically are the principles behind this discrimination?<\/p>\n

It’s odd that racist, sexist, homophobe is the the normal charge the political left<\/a> throws at its opponents, but it never seems to be able to back up these charges. I would hope in the future we would all be willing to get along a little better. We all belong to the same country, and I believe we all enjoy the privilege of living in America. Let’s appreciate our differences and learn to be tolerant of each other.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
