There will a lot of people who will be bothered by him being gay. Especially in some right leaning Christian's

Not that it should matter it will to them.

People will focus on that fact and it could be his downfall.

Especially where he is from.

Paying for sex too. Thats a double whammy.

The people who don't care that he is gay are not the ones generally voting for him. No I am not saying all conservatives are homophobes. Its just less likely for a progressive to vote for him and there are more conservative christians who disagree with same sex relations.

Given that he's not out as a gay man means the whole trumps history on LGBTQ rights irrelevant.

Oh of course his constituents in SC will be horrified but then we have seen before with Trump, certain things csn be ignored, especially when the start screaming fake news and left conspiracy so it may not have that much of an effect on Trumps cult.


I think you vastly misunderstand most of his constituents in South Carolina. The ranking of how those things matter to them probably looks like this....
1. Being gay
























2. Seeing prostitutes
3. Any of the other stuff

See above.

And have to say much as I hold Graham in low esteem for his U turn on Trump, I don’t like anyone being forced out the closet.

Normally i'd agree 100% but the behaviour out of him, especially to the LBGT community over the years is abhorrent and the enabling of Trump even worse. So I hope he gets whats coming.

Even more grim is the fact that people have to stay closeted in certain parts of America if they want to have a political career at all. I can't imagine that sort of internal suppression is healthy over time

I agree with your post

however I think I very possibly agree with yours more .

The weaponisation of somebodies sexuality isn’t pleasant to watch but if you pursue agendas and policies directly opposed to a lifestyle you pursue I think that probably deserves to be called out .
 
I often come on here and state "this isn't about Trump. He's a symptom, not a cause."

If I believe this is true, what then do I believe the cause to be? How can I give a hint of what I'm referring to without writing a book or being too cryptic?

Three and a half minutes.


While you're discussing Miss Lindsey, let me repost one and post another video that relates to current events.

If you respect me, please watch the 13.5 minutes of Eric Weinstein taking his walk and talking. That is the second video. In it, he explains what the first video is and who made it. If I could sit down with you and tell you what I've been trying to say, this is it.

When this 'revolution' goes off and someone is counting deaths in thousands instead of singles, this may go through your mind again, especially when what's coming is so unnecessary. If you can understand this, you can understand what I've been saying. These things are so much more important than what Miss Lindsey does for fun.

This isn't a total screed on which party is worse, one group is a bunch of Rockefeller republicians that call themselves democrats (these dems can do the right thing at times, but they really have to be dragged kicking and screaming into doing it). The other are facists.

Total lack of accountablity on the account of govt. and ruling class.

2000-08
-the lies the got us into the Iraq war.
-the lies that said we don't torture
-the lies that told us we have a tremedous economy.
-pointing out lies becomes traitorous.

2009-2016
-the ecomony is shambles, and don't you dare try anything funny again Goldman Sachs or we'll fine you another 1 MILLION DOLLARS.

-millions go bankrupt after being laid off, being laid off kind of sucks b/c the social safety net is LOL and when you apply for a jerb you have to submit to a credit rating.

-cops gone wild begins, this is bad so let's commish a study and give "recommendations". Don't want Becky the mythical swing voter from Ohio to clutch her pearls. Democratic mayors in cities, which facts tell me are the majority of mayors in cities, follow the govts lead knowing that police reform is actual hard and messy work, and even if they wanted to do something had no federal support.

2017

-the Dems are wiped out, obliteralted, Becky why have you forsaken us?

-HOLEEEEEEEEEEEE @#$%. WE'RE IN CHARGE. AND WE CAN GET AWAY WITH ANYTHING! BTW DO YOU KNOW WE HAVE NO SCRUPLES AT ALL!
 
Maybe somethimg good can come from Trumps reign after all.


Dismantling/defunding the police... what could possible go wrong.

Caller: Hello! Im here to report an emergency! I think someone is trying to break into my house.
911: Hi! Im going to have to put you on hold. I have 4 other callers ahead.
Caller: Im scared for my life. I need the police to come immediately.
911: Ma'am im the only dispatcher since we have no money. Only 1 cop is on duty in the area from 4-10pm. Hes currently on lunch and will be there right after.
Caller: I think he just came into the house! HELP!
911: Im going to place you on hold. Ill be right back.
