      But these wackos are on Team Republican and they are huge fans of that team. American politics is so hyper-gamified that people literally can't even imagine changing teams. It's like they are Yankee fans and you're telling the to root for the Red Sox because it's just baseball anyway.

      A lot of Americans are so infected with brain worms that they sincerely think Democrats are far-left communists

      But it's also a ridiculously effective propaganda tactic

      Like, the fact that the average joe would call republicans fiscally conservative and democrats not fiscally conservative? Wild

    These folks thought being a part of the bourgeoisie would spare them from the hazards of being part of a minority, but the bourgeoisie itself is a minority, and its position can only be defended through division and antisocial witch hunts.

      If you look at couples and their potential economic power.

      You can't beat a gay white couple. They are the ultimate in incoming earning potential. And unfortunately many of them hold very capitalistic views because of it.

        Oh shit, I thought it was only because of the cool ones being murdered and dying of AIDS in the 80s and 90s,

        it's also because it's 2 dudes who will never get a wife and go like "oh wait seriously is that how it be"

        Whoa

    Near the end of the article...

    Dillard, the longtime treasurer of the state Log Cabin group, said there was some progress in his time with the group. He helped run the group’s political action committee and said that funding helped stop anti-gay legislation. He’s still a Republican but doesn’t support Trump.

    He’s not too worried about the state of gay rights in the country. But he acknowledged the state party’s executive committee “has kind of gone back to being almost as nutty as they've ever been.”

    When he starts screaming - he'll be surprised. But the Leopards haven't eaten his face. Yet.

      How financially well off and insulated do you have to be to believe everything is fine with gay rights?

    Since the group’s inception in 1989, the Log Cabin Republicans of Texas have been denied a booth at the state convention. And this year’s convention was no different. Booths are granted to all sorts of conservative interest groups, advocating for issues related to gun rights, anti-abortion issues and freedom from vaccines. A booth, in many ways, is symbolic of a seat at the table.

    Much as I loathe the term "cuck," what else do you call this

      I mean Ernst Rohm and the entire SA. Gay Nazis were a thing right up until Hitler's faction purged them.

      I used to be friends with one. Well, maybe. His husband and his husband's friends come off as incredibly fashy but my former friend seemed to take no issue with it.

      Edit: I tried to push our circle of friends to address the nazi tendencies before those two tied the knot but they just wouldn't. Major part of why I try not to hang out with other white people anymore.
