All Republicans are hypocritical bigots, by definition. It’s the core of their political party, it’s who they signed up to be identified with, it’s who they are, or in the case of this poor bigoted fuck, were. I don’t want to see any “but this was a nice republican” bullshit. After the Southern Strategy in 1964, all Republicans are trash, every single one.
Institutionalized racism, misogyny, homophobia, and white Christian separatism as party platform. No matter how “conservative” Republicans claimed to be, The Southern Strategy was the core value and singular driving force for the past 60 years. MAGA isn’t a symptom, it’s result.
Or brainwashed. This was a boomer who grew up in very rural Alabama. There was almost no chance he wasn’t going to grow up to be a Republican. And from what I’ve read, from all accounts, he was not a bigot and was supportive of trans people.
This is a terrible shame and I hope the people who needlessly outed and ridiculed him feel the guilt on their consciences.
There are plenty of Democratic voters in Alabama. Even in rural Alabama. The 2020 presidential election, for example, has a map that breaks down voting by county. Look at all the pink and light red regions - those went Republican, sure, but only by tens of percentage points.
I’m not a republican but almost every other member of my family is Republican.
The grand majority of them could care less about whether a person is gay or not, or what they do in their own time or in the privacy of their own homes.
I am a minister and I performed a gay wedding for my brother-in-law’s brother and his husband just a month ago.
Every single one of them vote Republican because they believe that voting Republican will either decrease their tax burden, that it will prevent abortions, that it will keep illegal immigrants out of the country, or that it will help prevent the world from going even more insane than it already is.
That’s why they vote republican.
The fact that the Republican party is anti-trans and anti women’s rights and pro white rights at the cost of the right of every other race and anti-environment and pro-billionaire simply cannot penetrate into their brains and so they do not consider those topics.
You cannot bring up those topics to them, because they do not have the mental or emotional faculties to communicate about them.
I don’t know who you think is excusing their stupidity and ignorance. Certainly not me. I was just pointing out that not all GOPers are evil assholes, some of them are just idiots

They’re not all hypocritical biggots. Some of them are just plain stupid.

This guy didn’t have to be Republican.
I’d like to see it broken down by age group as well.

ignorance and stupidity is no excuse to vote for bigotry, it may be the reason, but it’s no excuse at all

Such compassion! At least he wasn’t Palestinian amirite? /s because it’s needed
The people who make a /s like this necessary should be banned from the internet for a month at a time.
it’s never necessary
In this case, just plain banned.
How do you feel about Kamala Harris?
