It's pathetic seeing them try so hard to be part of the GOP's "in" group knowing they'll never be accepted by the bigots.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Self-preservation I suppose. “Kill them not me, I’m on your side!”
If you think you can stop supporting a right, you didn't believe it was one in the first place.
Surely THIS will get republicans to respect them.
No one cares what the self hating gays think. We have revoked your gay cards, now piss off!
and I'm sure when they've run out of brown people to put in concentration camps and trans people to bully out of the public eye, and the Trump regime needs a new scapegoat because gas and groceries are still or even more unaffordable, us gay people will have Absolutely Nothing To Worry About. I'm sure Republicans have forgotten all about the years they spent calling AIDS a plague from God to punish the gays, one that we deserved, that Reagan was happy to watch happen until straight people started dying too.
Surely.
They already have had face eating leopard moments too, so this shit is especially wild. Trying to Uncle Tom when they're already catching the whip just as hard as the next brother.

Not everyone is a piece of shit, but a piece of shit can come from anywhere
It's like they're trying to recreate the gay culture of Ancient Greece that's just misogynistic
What a backasswards group. Either delusional/stupid, or some weird money involved.
A girl from my high school who was super outwardly gay, a minority, and outspoken for Trump. She even created a YouTube channel to post her garbage. Idk man people are fuckin weird. Not sure if it's pick me bullshit, or just trying to be edgy counter culture.
"I just really hate [redacted] but I love my fellow [redacted], I really hate paying taxes and I love being privileged through no effort of my own, so this group really speaks to me" essentially
Shocked, I tell you, I'm shocked!
Odd they'd turn on their own while their own party already has it out for all of them...
They ever did?
