I will, however put forth that while you may not necessarily dislike the types of people that would use and enjoy the bridge, you would dislike and vehemently oppose the political parties those people probably support. That is something that is detectable in your track record. That is, opposing any and all projects and actions associated with people that don't happen to be aligned you with on partisan grounds (and often exclusively those projects and actions despite the existence of any that are associated with those people you align with on partisan grounds or them turning out to not have been the best solution, see Occupy). This is sometimes under the guise of "looking out and caring for my community."
I won't disagree with the bulk of this. However, there is a very clear distinction between disliking people and disliking political parties and/or their positions. Cory and I have close friends of every political stripe (well, don't think we have any communist friends).

In fact I have 3 children, they all support different political parties. One of them very likely will use the bridge on a semi-regular basis.

We are both able to distinguish between individuals and party positions.
