    Gay Republicans are some of the stupidest people on the planet.

    Me and some other gay friends were hanging out one time, and a new guy that was having drinks with us mentioned he was Republican. All of us just stopped and stared.

    Turns out he’s a pharmacist that is anti-vaxx, amongst other things. Fucking idiot

    Well they consider themselves Republican so they obviously did not care about Republicans fucking things up until it directly affected them.

      Pretty easy to imagine really.

      Republicans are republicans because either

      A. they are greedy with the money that they have (or imagine they will have in the future)

      B. they are super religious and socially conservative (anti-lgbt etc.)

      C. they are gun nuts

      D. they are racist

      or

      E. they are a combination of the above

      For some people (like the gay conservative group mentioned here), reason A is the most important of all reasons to choose a political party; they also discount the fact that very many people in the republican party have B as an important reason for being republicans themselves. Until moments like this that is…

        What’s crazy, from a European point of view, is that they act as if Democrats are a bunch of leftists who would redistribute their hard-earned money, when they would be considered economically right-wing here in Europe. The disconnect is insane “I’ve got mine, so I’m just going to ignore all the GOP reactionary bullshit, 'cause, you know, capitalism and small government and America fuck yeah.”

    I think they’re really a Masochist group: forcing change from within, in the most painful way

    When bdsm isn’t quite enough, there’s always active political disenfranchisement. Oppress me harder, daddy.
