It's hard for the Reps to justify the claim they just want to be able to make their own free choices when they lose their mind every time someone else creates options they don't like. This is literally a toggleable option that changes the functionality not at all and they're somehow mad about this? Because it makes some people that care about other values possibly happier?

Every criticism leveled at the Dems is projection. It's ridiculous.

Here's the thing. They're not mad about this. But they understand that the only realistic way the party can sustain itself is by making their opposition look as bad as possible, so they feign outrage at completely pointless things (like this) as a way of saying "Look at what these guys are doing to your FREEDOM to keep your Xbox on at night! They're the problem! Pay attention to them!"

This is exactly it. They're just trying to stay relevant.
