Why do republicans feel threatened by LGBTQ+?
I’m heterosexual, I don’t feel threatened by LGBTQ+.
Surely if those attempting to suppress a basic and fundamental right that harms no one and brings happiness and contentment to millions: feel threatened, then maybe they’ve something to hide.
The problem is the Democrats, as an institution, are no where to be seen. DNC has been running fundraisers on the landing page of their website. No “equal and opposite” agenda. No plans for action. No evidence of a viable party (would help fundraising).
All rights are at risk under the current administration. It does not matter if an issue is settled law or if there is precedent, Republicans will act to make your life worse if they see an opening.
Why? I live in Massachusetts where gay marriage has been legal for 20 years. We still have one of the lowest divorce rates in the country. Gay marriage doesn’t affect anyone else’s marriage.
They really are the worst type of scum. Why not focus on the economy and helping people through this cost of living crisis? Tackle social deprivation and homelessness? Address the massive fentanyl addiction that is a blight on the USA? No, we will just gut all that and focus on the gays. Fuck MAGA
They have no answers for these things - nor were they ever going to solve those issues. Anyone who isn't at least a millionaire and actually thought that Trump will make their lives better is beyond delusional.
These people are also incredibly dumb. The supreme court can't completely get rid of Obergefell due to the half assed "defense of marriage act". What they can do (and what the GOP wants) is make gay people second class citizens in Red states. It's all part of bringing back segregation.
More people need to start boycotting far right states. Refuse to travel or do business with people this fucking extreme. Even better would be these states plummeting in population as leftists and liberals flee to Blue states.
Whaa, you’re telling me the whole “we only have a few concerns about trans people” was infact a thinly-veiled gateway into banning all LGBTQ rights. Wow if only someone had seen this coming
And all the damned gay traitors are going to be seeing what "first they came for" actually means. Anyone who is "LGB without the T" will suddenly find themselves stranded, without being able to share the boats.
1. GOP plans something unpopular, raid and kill social security, align with Putin, etc.
2. GOP picks on gays or minorities or immigrants—whatever fires up rabid zealots.
3. Liberals counter, supporting and protecting targets.
Result: #1 watered down in news cycles.
I don’t see a way to counter.
A real democracy represents everyone. This administration has a 'winner takes all' mentality. They consider half of their own country to be their enemies, and will hurt them just for the spite of it.

The Party, save a few individuals, is AWOL!
They are not AWOL, in fact.

If the party is FINALLY waking from its four month slumber … great.
How about DAILY press avails on the steps of the Capitol reviewing the day’s regression & articulate their “equal & opposite” agenda.
How about a daily “regression update”?
ACTION begets the flow of dollars.

As John Mulaney said, it’s like having a horse loose in a hospital
