A gay republican is such an oxymoron. I thought it was a sarcastic The Onion report when I first heard about this on the NPR podcast this morning.
To any republican voters reading this: when the fuck have Republicans ever passed legislation that positively effected the LGBTQIA+ community? Like, ever?
When has the modern gop ever passed legislation that positively effected any community... I don't say this to diminish your statement but I don't think either one of us will reach the people responsible for putting these folks in office with this argument... they don't care until it's too late
The fact that uneducated rural white people flock in droves to racist, fringe, extreme groups like Nazis, fly "blue lives matter" flags, and openly hate Jews, all while worshipping a brown Middle-Eastern Jew who was brutally killed by cops (Roman soldiers), who's mom was raped by the same cops (Roman soldier) and lied to her husband that she is a virgin and god impregnated her (dude got cucked) so she could not get beheaded, over 2,000 years ago, is a level of hypocrisy and stupidity that is unprecedented at any level. Humanity deserves climate catastrophe and nuclear warfare to wipe us away, we all fucking suck lol
you had me in the first half lmao; I doomed a human through natalism so crossing my fingers the 99% don’t get what the 1% deserve for architecting and perpetuating the whole mess
Who could have predicted a man famous for lying, throwing people under the bus, cheating others, and breaking contracts would lie to them, throw them under the bus, cheat them, and break their contract? This would be hilarious if the man they were promoting wasn't so dangerous.
In the Trump era we felt like we were taking crazy pills. The amount of obvious idiocy they peddle is just astounding. Our friends in Italy here fell for the con, and now they’re screwed. Historically one would learn from these mistakes, but the world’s right wing insists there’s nothing to learn from. Being right wing, our friends here will no doubt agree.
Just because you are told something it doesn’t mean you can rely on it.
It’s clear that leaving the EU would mean new treaties between the UK and EU and it is obvious that immigration rules would change. There were many people saying many different things about how they would change, but if he had just tried to apply some logic he should have come to the conclusion that, at best, his right to live in the EU was at risk.
What did you expect? ‘Welcome, Sonny?’ ‘Make yourself at home?’ ‘Marry my daughter?’ You’ve got to remember that these are just simple farmers. These are people of the land. The common clay of the new West. You know—morons.
This is some post to show that republican gays or blacks are stupid or something?
look we have 2parties, its a very small number of parties. People that dont support dems for any reason such as economy or guns are automatically going to the only alternative that is GOP, which sucks ass - but thats the broken system that these fuckers created.
So what are those gays supposed to do? Vote green party?
Economy or guns? Conservatives haven't been fiscal for 20 years and Trump called to take people's guns without impunity.
You can still mass murder people with guns without bump stocks. Literally the Democratic party is a Center Right party, with a few people considered leftists hanging out of the tent.
So why make a big decision between choosing a Right party that are bigoted and hate you and in some cases want to erase your existence like Russia does to the LGBT, and refuse to disavow Nazis in their own rallies like Florida, versus a Right party that sees you as an equal they can pander to, like everyone else? Sure, let's go vote Green with a figurehead in 2016 that was the most obvious pro Russian useful idiot that was available to run third party.
I swear, it's absolutely bullshit when a person who isn't even queer tries to act like they know what's best for the queer community. What are the gays supposed to do?
Try harder with your pearl clutching for us that don't fit into your narrow box. You're doing fucking great, champ
The definition of conservatism is that you believe the state must primarily exist to prop up tradition - like traditional values, traditional social hierarchies, or traditional identities. That maintaining these traditions is the highest purpose of the state.
If you most value making your society more effective and efficient-functioning, that makes you a progressive. If you most value making sure your society is primarily concerned with protecting individual civil rights and liberties, that makes you a liberal. If you most value making sure your society is equitable and fair and creates the greatest overall good for its constituents, that makes you a socialist.
That's why modern conservatism cleaves so readily to authoritarianism. When you're trying to force people to fit a certain mold of hierarchy and identity it's much easier to do so when you can literally force them to do whatever you want. Emphasis on want because it's all about preferences and aesthetics.
You can certainly be many things at once. Nearly everyone is. But when Republicans swear to you up and down that they are not liberal, they are not progressive, and they are certainly not socialist... believe them.
