No they don't Mike

To be honest, I feel like it depends on which values you're going for. If you're thinking of the liberalism of the early 21st century, then no, they don't.

If you're thinking of the values of puritanical bigotry and genocide from the twentieth and earlier centuries... Then yes, yes, they do.

Unlike Mikey, I choose to live in this century.

Yeah this is the issue the country needs to resolve. Fuck healthcare, the climate, minimum wage, fascism. /s

It's genuinely funny that, apparently, "American values" are so resolute, strong, and unconquerable that they can be threatened by a thirteen year old girl in Kentucky wanting to play hockey.

I feel this is a distraction from the most important issues facing the world right now. Housing affordability is screwed, the environment is compromised, yet we're focusing on a tiny portion of the population?
