      I think people sometimes fail to realize the only reason LGBTQ folks are assumed to be liberal/left-leaning is because that’s the only side that hasn’t been advocating for at least light genocide for ages. It has nothing to do with being non-straight, and everything to do with historical/cultural context. So of course there are gay fascists. You can find idiots and assholes in any group.

    Oh that’s simple. Let me help you with that. If you’re LGBTQ then DeSantis wants you dead. Full stop. There are no “good ones” here, he’ll gleefully order you all shot if he can.

        They were in the same place then as conservative LGBT+ people are now. There was no Final Solution yet. They didn’t think they were those kind of Jews. And if the GOP gets their way and queer people start getting rounded up, they will realize they were those kind of queer people.

          The difference is that there Jews for Hitler didn’t have the benefit of history being written already. So they were actually less stupid.

            It’s not the only genocide in history, and it’s not the only one that had quislings either.

      You will be surprised (or not) at how many LGBTQ people are just straight up racists that love the right wing policies. They just don’t realize (or care) that they are targets by those same groups too.

      Mariam-Webster definition of mislead:

      to lead in a wrong direction or into a mistaken action or belief often by deliberate deceit

      or;

      to lead astray : give a wrong impression

      Every single modern republican has been mislead.

          A lot of them probably did because the right openly accepted non-white and LGBTQ+ people into their ranks when they all banded together to oppose the lockdowns. They were absolutely right to do so then, but now the pendulum of oppression has swung the other way, so they’ll abandon the right and go to the left until the left does something else insane.

          We desperately need an independent third party in the U.S.

            They absolutely did not accept non-white and LGBTQ people during COVID, the COVID era was the Trump Administration. Lockdowns were a Trump policy and it was specifically because he didn’t do enough early enough to contain infections.

    Gotta love the “Well, they wouldn’t do that to me, I’m one of the good ones!” attitude these people take. Like, you weren’t ‘mislead’ by DeathSentence, he told you exactly what he was going to do. Just because you thought you were safe because of the hat you wear doesn’t mean you didn’t know this was coming…
