Good. It may be your community, too, but that doesn’t permit you to shit it up by parading your support for a fascist dictator that’s actively malignant and hostile to those in that community… you included.

No MAGAt is part of my community, I don’t care how they identify.

Yeah, seriously. They can fuck right off with that one. They don't own the community. You get to be a part by contributing. It's up to the community whether you're let in or no. Log Cabin morons think they own us already

Do these people really think that the fascists will, out of gratitude for their support, spare them while persecuting the rest of their community? Or do they think they can change the fascists' minds? Have they ever checked how that has gone, historically?

They just hate themselves and get off on being yelled at by people they’re attracted to instead of just their parents. They’re fundamentally sick and broken.

They have enough money that they think it will shield them from Republican policies. For the most part, they are actually correct. As stupid and self hating as they are, they are "one of the good ones" to their "friends", and selling out everyone like them isn't really a problem for them.

People like to paint Log Cabin Republicans as dumb, but the truth is that they're actually more evil and selfish.

They think they can change the fascists' minds. And they share the same sentiments regarding trans people and are ecstatic to throw them to the wolves (i.e. deny them medical care, sentence trans women to rape in men's prisons, ban them from athletics, bathrooms, gyms, and public life in general, and ultimately push them all to suicide). They are fundamentally broken people. The only thing I hate more than a Republican is an LGBTQ Republican.
