At the end of the day, the policies around homophobia, the border, religion are all just a grift to lock in reliable bigot voters.
These assholes just want money and power, and this is the red meat they throw at the crowds so they can get it.
Did no one else see that? Like both sides are about the money and keeping it to the uppers that are still there. They will lie cheat and steal to keep it there. The Dems have a chance to make some strides back towards equilibrium but they are still beholden to those that helped.
I’ve thought this before and I believe it applies here as well.
Ultra-rich LGBT people aren’t really allies. Under the queer umbrella by definition, maybe, but not part of the community. It’s for the best to leave their perspectives completely disregarded.
As it was during more repressive times, being super rich completely insulates them from negative influences. They don’t understand what the majority of queer people have had to go through just to try to live normal lives.
For example, would anyone who’s never had to worry about money care about the financial benefits of marriage that queer couples risk losing if Obergefell is overturned? Or if someone can count the number of times they’ve ever had to use a public restroom on one hand, would they really care about trans people who are being banned from them?
He may be gay, but at the end of the day he’s still a rich, white male. There isn’t going to be a leopard-eats-face moment for him, just a jaguar among leopards joining in the face-eating.
Absolutely correct, and a great example of this is Ernst Röhm, leader of the SA or “brownshirts” and one of Hitler’s right hand men, who was pretty openly gay, but which was ignored and downplayed by Hitler himself. He was a Nazi first and gay second, as absurd as that sounds.
And he was shot as soon as he stopped being useful.
See Night of The Long Knives. The leopards came for his face.
Yep and this may partially be why I think focusing on the identities of voters and demographics has resulted in less and less support for Democrats over time.
In the end there’s really two demographics that matter: rich, power hungry assholes, and the rest of us that don’t collectively add up to a fraction of a percentage of their power or net worth.
A gay leopard!

As George Carlin said, It’s a big club and you ain’t in it.
How many gay billionaires is he up to now?
At least one more than reported
2? I don’t think Tim Apple is coming back to this White House and Sam AI-tman seems to be keeping away from politicians.
Peter Thiel is not lined up for an appointment as far as I know, but he is also there in the background - supporting Trump
Uncle Tom analogy apply here or is there a better one?
How about Uncle Rohm?
Röhm was named a Reichsleiter, the second highest political rank in the Nazi Party, Hitler came to see his long-time ally as a rival and liability, and made the decision to eliminate him
Damn dude applies for nazis Allright. Would be hilarious if he was gay too.
Rohm was gay, too. Well, up until his murder, anyway.
