You would think getting denied a booth at the RNC for the 20th year in a row would have been a clue
😆 I don't know why this was so funny to me
Maybe they will get an invite next year
🥇
They're Charlie Brown hoping that Lucy doesn't pull the football away THIS TIME
But this will be the year, I just know it!
Any gay person that ever thought the GOP would give a crap about them was SO DELUDED.
No worse than Black republicans thinking they are in the club.
Same with any minority race
👏👏👏
Any white, working class person that thinks the Democrats give a crap about them are also deluded.
@@GeorgeEugeneBarrett seriously. GFYS.
They didn't fail at all. This is what they voted for.
"I kept voting for an overtly racist and homophobic party. How was I supposed to know that they were going to be homophobic when they had power!?"
So now it’s homophobic that the constitution doesn’t allow the Supreme Court to legislate?
Apparently they've forgotten how rich those fundamentalist ministries and think tanks strike it on homophobocratic policies and campaigns.
It's like throwing steaks at a hungry lion and hope it doesn't eat you. Might work for a little while, but eventually you're getting eaten.
@@whyamimrpink78 What?! Do you expect them to vote for the party of Falwell instead?
Exactly why I don't feel an ounce of sympathy for them.
Imagine spending over 3 decades begging for acceptance from a party that wishes you didn’t even exist. Couldn’t be me 🤷🏾♂️
Periodt!!!
Exactly 🤦🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️
“Gay Republican” together with “Trans Republican” biggest oxymoron ever.
Find it hilarious but at the end of the day the party still don't like them 🤣
"Republican" being the moron part.
But the fundamentalist ministres who've been in bed with the GOP since Ronald Wilson-Reagan made all those deals with Ralph Reed and Jerry Falwell the 1st seem to have gained a lot of power in the last half year. Did they suddenly get a rush of dark money funding, by any chance?
Similar to "intelligent Republican"
What's unfortunate is that fascist Republican is an apt description.
"I didn't think the leopards would eat my face", -Says person who voted for the Leopards Eating People's Faces party.
"I felt slighted when the leopards wouldn't eat my face." - always a contrarian in the crowd
@@that1monk “that face eating leopard ate my face. And I took that personally.” (Picturing MJ in his chair lol)
I like that!! 🤣👍
Slugs for salt! Slugs for salt! Slugs for salt!...........
Love this
I asked the Log Cabin Republicans about their platform at Denver Pride last month. They always have a tent there. I couldn't believe how delusional and selfish they were. One even asked why I care about a woman's right to choose because, "It has nothing to do" with me. I almost threw hands over that one.
Well, that does sound like a true republican response ("It has nothing to do with me.")!
Black trumpubliklan: "I've never been beaten coma by a racist cop while totally Innocent of a crime..so why do I care..and I don't vote for blacks right NOT to vote..I just vote for the candidate that do..why should I care"
Nothing is a problem unless it happens to them. They've been like this forever.
"Nothing to do with me," should have told them it sure as hell will have something to do with you when taxes go up to help pay for all the unwanted children being born. I guess then they'd advocate for cutting wellfare and letting kids starve though, since that seems to be the pro life stance, constant and perpetually worse human suffering.
@@conniesedona116 yes, I've always said that it's an empathy game with conservatives/Republicans. They don't care about gays until it's one of their kids. Don't care about gun control until they're the one threatened, the list goes on. The only new thing I learned that day was that it doesn't matter what your sexuality is: if you're a selfish prick, you're a selfish prick.
They see the war on women, but think the leopards won’t eat THEIR faces?
Very well said,are you a writer because that sounds poetic AF great way to put that into words best comment hands down
Yes, war on women who they still want to have sex with. So dumb
I asked my mother how long its been since women could vote, cause they're on the GOP degradation agenda...just a little further down the list. 😞
and here I am with lesbian friends that are republicans. In their defense they don't know anything about politics and they just repeat shit they hear from the idiots around them.
@@hemlockVape
Actually, not very long. Fun fact: black MEN could vote long before white WOMEN.
"Self-loathing is the most sincerest form of flattery..."
My brother is an immigrant, Asian and claims to be a Muslim... has 2 daughters... and he's a Trump supporter & staunch republican.
My ex is an Asian immigrant, a rape & incest survivor, a working woman... had marriages that ended w/ infidelity... and she's a Trump supporter.
Self-loathing and self-destruction are very prominent amongst people who can't stand themselves or where they come from...
Impossible to understand!
That's a psychological issue.
It's really strange how the Christian right hate Muslims but want the U.S. to have a theocratic government that would essentially mirror Islamic theocratic states
Trump knows his target demographics well. As a sociopathic con man he has always had the ability of being a master showman. Smoke and mirrors. He knows who he's playing to. And his audience doesn't get they're being played.
I don't understand the logic.
As a trans person, it's honestly impossible for me to feel bad for ANY queer people that still support the republican agenda.
It's like throwing some steaks at a hungry lion and hope it doesn't kill and eat you. Might work for a bit, but eventually you're getting eaten.
As a 'straight' person, "it's honestly impossible for me to feel bad for ANY queer people that still support the republican agenda."
As a 'straight' person, "it's honestly impossible for me to feel bad for ANY queer people that still support the republican agenda."
Everyone is a product of circumstance. Did you grow up in a majority Republican community raised by Republican parents? No? How do you know how you would think if you did?
Congrats
It’s an issue
Again
As an openly queer person it’s hard to feel bad for them. They basically through the rest of the community, particularly trans people, under the bus because “low taxes” are more important to them than their own community. I agree with David there’s nothing wrong with disagreeing on tax policy but to ignore the ramifications Republicans have had on LGBTQ+ communities (again especially trans communities) just so you don’t have to pay as many taxes is disgusting.
Humanity first.
threw*
Imo, it's almost like they staying a closet just to enjoy low taxes and so forth.. Just to be accepted.. Selling their souls for few measly dollars extra..
Exactly..I'm not gay, but can't understand how anyone who is would vote right. Now they are going for gay marriage. Yet, these gay righties will still vote right. Smh
And really, the Democrats haven't exactly been raising taxes. They stated that they do so for the ultra rich but that didn't even happen. Did the gay Republicans forgot that most of the members of the Democratic caucus are ultra rich so they aren't going to do anything either except talk. They will vote for it only because they know there aren't enough votes to pass it anyway. That way they get to symbolically look like they support taxing the rich.
Caitlyn Jenner being booed by her target audience is funny to me. You can obviously see the humor in it and I don’t have the energy to feel sorry for people that want to consistently embarrass themselves.
Poor Caitlyn, she has to pass a homeless camp on the way to her private plane hanger.
What I find MORE hilarious is her whole "Oh I NEVER could have seen Trump being Anti-Trans* with the Trans* Military Ban! I thought he was supportive!" BITCH! He didn't last 5 HRS, before going from "I Support Jenner using ANY Bathroom" to "State Rights! STATES should Control what Bathroom Jenner uses!"
It was EXTREMELY obvious then that Trump had ZERO Spine. That he was a Repub Populist who had v few ideas and beliefs he wouldn't VIOLATE to get views. I think Trump didn't actually care, but did things because he knew that's what his Voters wanted. Because Trump CRAVES attention, praise, and support. He's a big man baby, who can't stand people not worshipping the ground he walks on
Bruce Jenner is a conservative Republican and the Trumpsta doesnt care for him ,but many conservatives do like him,but he will never be true mighty magaman
I feel sorry for her...not really. She is a traitor to her own kind.
@@MsArtistwannabe That was my first thought when reading the comment!
Their money is more important than their freedom.
Exactly! If anyone wants proof, just look at Lindsey Graham!
Turns out Capitalism doesn't beat the Patriarchy. Whoops. Silly Log Cabs.
That describes every single republican.
It's ALWAYS been that way. They're just now being FORCED to see what everyone with half a brain could see all along. What all the Hetero Repubs knew all along. They TOLERATED them, but they NEVER accepted them. The Nazis demonized the Jews FIRST, and THEN made their way to the LGBTQ+ to murder.
Why do you all hate the Republicans ?
As a gay man, I will never understand why some in the community would vote for a candidate that doesn’t acknowledge their existence.
Or, if they acknowledge them, it's only to detest them and wish them dead.
Totally demonizing their existence. While also being in the closet….Christian Walker comes to mind. Anybody with eyes and ears knows that guy is gay, yet he rails against pride month…..
Trans activists don't acknowledge homosexuality either. They want to remove biological sex from the picture when homosexuality works based on biological sex. They vilify homosexual people for refusing to date transpeople and state their inborn sexual boundaries.
Conservatives and trans activists share the same hatred of and refusal to acknowledge same-SEX attraction.
That is so true. It took me a while to understand how it could happen. For a long time, my wife was a republican because she came from a republican Catholic family who was all biblically named. Her family could be nasty about her being a lesbian; some refused to talk to her for several years, praying for her straightness. Claiming they had the right because they disagreed with her lifestyle and a quote from the brother, "I may lose some friends over my Christain believes" (She is your family, not your friend, blood is supposed to be thicker than water. My wife was hurt by her brother's comments to her on their father's deathbed where she grieved two losses that day).
I am unsure if it was because she didn't follow politics closely or the brainwashing by years of religious classes and news media. I mean, the family dinners were known for bashing democratic candidates for being murderers were intense, to say the least. They had my head spinning, and it was hard to tell what was fact from fiction. I didn't favor any party usually until recently. I never voted republican in the presidential but have in a small election; I was always looking for the less damaging candidate since most candidates can be sellouts.
It took her some time to see how dangerous Republicans can get. It's hard when the media campaigns for Republicans are everywhere with catchy slogans that invade every media type. Since I am a researcher, I tried to bypass the slogans and was able to discern the truth from fiction and passed her articles that were vetted instead of propaganda from either party's news source. The daily intervention was to save everyone from going nuts from fear-mongering to the self-hatred of constantly being told you are going to hell.
A couple years ago, there was a breakthrough. It was soon after her father's passing. He was a great guy, BTW. He was a Republican but didn't tell my wife she was a disgrace to the family. He was very supportive and respected her choices. She looked up to him. But something finally clicked. Maybe it was also the candidate who wasn't a good Christian with several divorces, which is a big no-no for Catholics. She saw the hate and fear the candidate was spread in his speeches and the hypocrisy of it all.
One recent karmic that happened to her brother was one of her nieces came out as a lesbian after being married to a dude and having two children with him. The dude was not very nice to her a cheat and her new wife is great to the kids, so win-win. The sad part her father refused to acknowledge her new family. Definitely not like his dad who would be disappointed.
Because they are usually racist and think that they would be accepted by the right because they are white and male. They will find out that republicans are wanting to strip us of our rights as gays and outlaw our sexuality.
As a lesbian I cannot fathom the thought that someone could be Republican and gay… Sorry it doesn’t ever seem to work that way… In my 70s now I have seen the Democrats be inclusive and the Republicans be exclusive basically my whole life
They were never going to win. Hope they enjoy the fact they spent their entire lives working for and defending the people who hate them.
Not just hate them, but actively working against them.
But will lie and say they support them just before voting time.
The fact that they're surprised that they failed leaves me to believe that they sadly thought they even had a chance with the GQP.
So, boys.... Whacha gonna do when your marriages are ruled illegal? Whacha gonna do when right to sexual relationships between consenting adults is overturned? Whacha gonna do when homosexuality is reclassified as 'mental illness'? Don't come crying about your "failure!" Thank your beloved fascist party!
Trumpsta wants to make them all mighty magamen

@@whyamimrpink78 What?
I'm sure there were at least a few Jews who defended Hitler all the way into the concentration camps and were surprised when they were herded into the gas chambers.
honestly, what did they expect?
That they could get tax cuts and not pay employees without the fascists coming for them.
"Sure, they're the party of hate, racism, climate denialism, anti-vaxxers, transphobia, christian theocracy, and white nationalism, but I thought they very recently stopped hating gays! I feel so disillusioned!"
IKR?!
I can't imagine what the Log Cabin subparty was expecting. Have they never seen how much those straight supremacist mega-ministries are raking in off their bigoted campaigns?
@@rabidgoon In previous generations, both in the east and in the west, anyone who fucked up that badly would commit ritual s.u.i.c.i.d.e. and that's what these people should do.
To be perfectly perfectly honest, zero sympathy.
They thought, "They don't mean *us."* They were utterly selfish, and only out for themselves.
They threw trans people under the bus but forgot those issues are interconnected. Same with women's rights, it is all interconnected.
Ditto with black republicans and LBTQ+ republicans.
Plus Hispanic and women republicans
Exactly - The GOP was only interested in these groups as long as they could get their votes.
Then, once the goal of getting the majority of Justices on the Supreme Court was achieved, their true goals became apparent.
Michael Stephen Steele talks like a Democrat now.
At least with Black Republicans, you could make a case, you could easily delude yourself going "Look at these Token Black Repubs! Look at Clarance Thomas!" But WHERE are all the Powerful & Accepted LGBTQ+ people in the Repub Party? NOWHERE!! The closet was Jenner, but look at how much she was HATED!!
@@rtqii he isnt happy with the republicans because he worked to make the republicans more all inclusive to where lgbtq and people of color could be welcomed into the party and help the base grow. The trumpies have now closed that door again.
I've known some gay republicans. I never understood supporting and voting against your own self interest for decades. They always had a very selfish world and political view that could rationalize and compartmentalize their reasoning for wanting to be a part of the GOP and were very hard to be friends with. I always knew how it would end for their loyalty. It's not surprising they are being so openly rejected by the party now. They have never been accepted by the Christian Right.
Need to have a brain to vote properly
Here's the thing I would say: Where are all the Big Name Accepted Repub Influencers who are Openly LGBTQ+? With PoC, you have Repub News Anchors. Clarance Thomas on Supreme Court. Etc. There was a Thin Veneer for PoC, but for LGBTQ+ I can't really think of anyone who is Big Name & Powerful Influence.
Before Trump the Republican party was becoming more all inclusive party. They were openly accepting lgbtq and people of color because they were trying to expand thier base, but now they no longer seem to want that any more.
The gay republicans should vote either independent or democrats to get back at thier base for crapping on them.
@@TheAyanamiRei I can think of a few. Peter Thiel, Blaire White, Dave Rubin
@@TheAyanamiRei maybe I misunderstood the question. Withdrawn
WTF did they think was going to happen? Seriously.
They thought the Repubs were going to get all lovey dovey and warm and fuzzy. Nope!! Ain't gonna happen!! 🙂
Vote republicons and you deserve the disregard Yu get. That's life. Trump played these folks and spits in their faces.
Considering how openly homophobic the GQP has been for a long time, I feel zero sympathy for these people. They got what they deserved.
Imagine being in a place where low taxes are more important to you than your personal identity.
Because our sexuality is irrelevant to our political beliefs. Yeah I like men and women but I also like gun rights, property rights and low taxes. I just wanna live a simple life without being taxed out the ass for literally everything. And I'm fine with not every person in my community knowing my sexuality, just the ones I trust and know well
@@Kid_Charlemagne76 but they are definitely not separate, not when the government can dictate what you can and can't do because of how you identify sexually. For instance, adoption, marriage, visiting rights, estate, etc.
You nailed it!
lmfao… yeah the actual LGBTQ+ community saw this coming from about 20 billion lightyears away. That whole gay republican thing was a sad example of Stockholm syndrome.
The Community as a whole sure, but there's Trans* people who are Trump & Repub Fans. It's pretty sick and twisted really. Lots of Internalized Phobia and Hate right there. At least PoC had Thin Veneer of Acceptance & Power. LGBTQ+ people however...have ZERO excuse to believe they were EVER going to be accepted OR protected.
Just look at how fast Trump went from "I support Jenner!" to "STATE RIGHTS!" in LESS than 5 hrs.
They loved the low taxes and red MAGA hats. I can't even feel sorry for them.
Being a gay republican is such oxymoronic behavior, why anyone would go against their best interests and identity is baffling to me
Masochistic - adjective - deriving sexual gratification from one's own pain or humiliation.
It's oxymoronic
It's like pro life women
For some, lower taxes is more important than acceptance as an equal member of society. I know a few people who think this way.
True. Like being a black democrat.
Maybe eight years ago, I went to the Pride parade in Dallas.
The Log Cabin Republicans marched in the parade. People booed so much I felt sorry for them.
Today, I don't see how any LGBTQ person in Texas feels safe here, much less in Republican spaces. I know conservatives and Republicans who aren't homophobic, but ALL of them bemoan the homophobic rhetoric they hear at precinct and party gatherings.
Sorry, but as Eddie Murphy would say, "You brought that $hit on yourself." What did they expect from the GOP?
Yeah...
Who could have guessed?
Fools. Greedy fools.
What did you expect??? They're LIARS, USERS, DIVIDERS ⚰️
My mother is in a gay relationship for 40 years and an avid Trump supporter. I have been saying that the republicans would eventually re-list homosexuality on their checklist. It was Muslims and Mexicans, and always democrats. Now the focus has returned to LGBT. Based on historical precedent, Gay people should be hyper sensitive to lists and exclusive groups. The conversations we have about my party affiliation is almost like a mad-lib replacement of gay with democrat. Strange times.
"We failed" implied that they stood a chance.
They weren't so much as fighting a losing battle, but they more or less marched into what is akin to a suicide mission.
I never understood gay republicans and black republicans. If you are in favour of lower taxes, less regulation and cuts to social spending, there’s plenty of that already in the Democratic Party. Why take the additional prejudice as well?
I’ve never understood black democrats. It’s literally the party that fought to keep slavery.
@@ricardocabeza6006 imagine thinking that the Democratic Party of today is the same Democratic Party of the 1860s

@@ricardocabeza6006 that was more along geographic lines. I know this may be hard to accept, but the south was pro slavery..
@@tripledigit4835 Well, the ideals of the party have continued to modern times, so yes it’s the same party. The same party opposed the Civil Rights Act a century after the civil war. The same politician that spoke for 13 hours in opposition of that act, served as a democrat until his death in 2010, Robert Byrd. So do you just not know your history? Or do you willfully choose to ignore it?
@@ricardocabeza6006 Although he filibustered against the 1964 Civil Rights Act and supported the Vietnam War earlier in his career, Byrd's views changed considerably over the course of his life; by the early 2000s, he had completely renounced racism and segregation, and spoken in opposition to the Iraq War.
I will never understand why people vote against their own best interest.
Millions of poor, ignant whites do, despite their poverty and need for public assistance, just 'cuz the right wing taps into their ignorance, fear and racism.

@@mackenziepenny1335 so similar that your statement is useless.
seriously, if they had given this more than a moment's thought, they wouldn't be so crushed or surprised. Gotta wonder about what was going through their heads - oh wait, NOTHING!!
Trying to be "one of the good ones" is such a defeatist concept to me. Why should your value of yourself be subject to another or a group like that instead of just something innate and universally recognized.
It feels like they're pre-compromising for absolutely no benefit
Well "credit to your sexual orientation" doesn't exactly roll off the tongue.
I see it the other way: it would be tragic if it weren't so funny. And I'm not saying that to be hateful. It just simply is so ridiculous that the dark comedy of it overtakes the sadness of it.
No, what’s more ridiculous is you think it’s ok to legislate from the bench.

Hey, if you support a party that you not only mean nothing to, but are openly despised by, you have no right to be surprised when the fangs and claws are turned on you. No pity for you.

"But he held up the Pride flag and gave us a thumbs up!!! How could he betray us???"
Before x45 they kind of were more accepted in the party, but the party took a major right turn.

I remember feeling as a closeted kid like “they’ll like me when I’m gay” and then you realize as you grow up that homophobes will hate you no matter how “normal” you present. I guess some of us never really got the message
MSN just had an article about a congressman who attended his gay son’s wedding 3 days after voting to deny him the right to get married. Glen Thompson. Republican from Pennsylvania.

As with so many other marginalized groups, we have one party that's not doing enough to help gay people, and one party that actively and deliberately harms them, so it's hard to feel too sympathetic to any member of that group who aligns themselves with the latter.
Am I the only person in the nation that knew from the moment the 'Gays for Trump" made that sign with an upside down Pride flag that this whole thing was complete horseshit??
I distinctly remember the Log Cabin Republicans really thinking they'd gotten a foothold in the party during the Reagan era. There were lavish parties with Nancy (I don't *think* Ron ever attended) where their money flowed in to Republican coffers, especially in California and Texas. Because Nancy was Hollywood glitz and glamour. She had gay friends. She knew Rock Hudson. And there was this brief moment when the small "L" libertarian wing of the party seemed to have a chance to become ascendant and snatch power from the Falwellians.
It wasn't to be. The libertarian Republicans were overwhelmed by the Dominionist Republicans, leaving them to run off into the woods of New Hampshire and prepare for the collapse of civilization.
Great comment 👍👍

Many repubs are closet cases and non Christian only want to keep their high income status by using the republicons as a way.

Gay in Republicans. When the Republicans accepts Gays to be part of them, it will be the day that Batman and Joker finally become a friend to each other and there is zero crimes in Gotham.
Why would someone support and want to be part of a political party that resents their very existence?
The GOP is no longer even remotely about low taxes.
I feel no sympathy for them. It should have been obvious the Republican Party was never going to accept them.
"We failed". That has to imply they ever had a chance of being accepted. And let's be honest, there was never a chance of that. Dave Rubin is probably the only exception they have. And even then, that's not really a win for them. I wish they could see that instead of blind tribalism to a party that only thinks of themselves and their religious beliefs. Maybe one day they'll understand.
I don't think Dave Rubin has ever been accepted by the GOP; at best, they tolerate him.
Dave Rubin was a useful idiot...
After all, he managed to convince others in the LGBTQ community that the Republican party would EVER accept their existence on any level.
They tolerate Dave Rubin because he is the “I used to be liberal until I saw the light” guy. He trashes the people that fight for his rights so he can bank on the people that trash him for the crime of wanting to have a family while gay.
Did you see the backlash against Dave when he announced that he and his husband were having a baby???
@@rochestas I saw that it didn't change his stance on anything, despite the fact that the political party he is actively supporting is trying to make every aspect of his life illegal.

Mayor Pete is an idiot he's doing nothing as our transportation is falling apart all across the country lawsuits against Airlines because they're selling tickets they know they don't have enough Pilots or staff for praising or pretending he's any sort of benefit to America was a bad choice as an example of somebody doing good in America because he's just like the rest of the corporates doing nothing to protect the people as he rakes in as much profit as he possibly can
Great leader
Seen from here in Europe, Pete seems the ideal next president of the US. Trouble is, him being gay is seen as a vote loser by too many people.
Pete only got his job for being a DNC stooge that helped bury Bernie in the primary. He's failed at basically everything he's done so no amount of eloquence means much to me.
@@Thezuule1 is him being gay turning u on too much
How can one even be both gay and a republican? It makes absolutely zero sense.
Gay guys in his 60s and you nailed it. Log Cabin Republicans were never included in our rain deer games. It's hard to watch the dog whistle of hate again. Thx you really did nail it.
No - "You" failed. "They" succeeded. Be more careful about who you think are your friends...
Shocker
*Jesse Lee Peterson:* "And they call ME stupid! At least I had the sense to try and stay in the closet while I did my conservative grift!"
They weren't crushed by homophobia so much as an inability to see their own party for what it really is. It's like being a crocodile and thinking you're somehow a gazelle living with peaceful, accepting gazelles.
If the GOP was ever gonna be "inclusive" to these folks, don't they think Lady G would have come out of the closet already?! 🤣😂🤣😂

He literally fucked around and found out. Us poor queer-folk on the ground could have told you Trump was no good for your cause. #WeTriedToTellYa 🤦🏾♂️
Maybe they'll give him money to stand behind Trump at a rally showing support. Let's support the party that wants to eliminate any gains made over the past 50 years. There should be an intelligence test with the ballot and if you fail they throw out your ballot.
But only a specific section in the stand behind Trump...probably bordered in plastic screens, and out of view of the cameras. Until they're able to get rid of the people they hate, they'll dehumanize them as much as they can.
Well that's just going to descriminate against mostly Repub Voters. Considering how low IQ most of them are. They don't even believe or understand Objective Reality half the time or more. They've LITERALLY 1984 themselves with Double Speak. "The Past is a Lie. ONLY what the Party says NOW is Truth!"
Nah. Let’s support the party that has done nothing to codify these issues, just unconstitutional legislation from the bench. You’re right, we should throw out the ballots of ignorant people. And it sounds like they can start with yours.
Ironically that's what conservatives did to black people and why the voting rights act had to be implemented
@@ricardocabeza6006 Says the tired drag queen. Girl, please.
Yeah, my late husband waited 21 years for Republicants Repugnicants to come round for Gay Marriage.
And if GOP can control it, it will soon be gone again. You won that hill for a few years but will lose it soon again. The fight was never over. The enemy was merely resting for a while. 😢
Most people who are Republican are such out of hate for something... Whether it be themselves or something else, they want to take something from another person. They want rights for themselves *only*. Zero rights for anyone who is not them.
And they will still vote against their own interests
I'm reminded of the "Jews for the Nazi party" groups that sprung up in Germany in the 30s and 40s
*LOOKING AT YOU DAVE RUBIN & GLENN GREENWALD*
"Reactionary in a way they don't understand" yeah man its like the song goes. " well this is what happens when you're pissed about being pissed, you dig yourself so deep you resist just to resist."
Yeah, what could possibly go wrong?
I love to say "we told you so."
You know what they say “too soon old and too late smart “
Well, it was really only possible to see that coming if your eyes and ears were open and your brain was functioning.
They’re surprised?
what do you think would happen when you vote against your interest?. this goes for everyone. Identity Politics aside.
I live in a highly conservative area, so the vast majority of my friends here are straight conservatives, and I’m totally out and have been for decades. And while myself and my partner are always included and invited, there’s always that feeling that these people vote against my own, best interest and equality. I’m still baffled why somebody would be a gay Republican. The bottom line is I don’t believe they have a healthy self image. But I don’t know. 0:11
The Log Cabin has burned to the ground.
Biggest surprise ever.
🙄
Leopards Ate My Face!
Hahaha we said this would happen. 🤣
What are you talking about David???!
How did WE fail them???? They failed themselves!!!!!
How in the hell did they fool themselves so badly? It was obvious from the get-go.
