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
I met a super prochoice woman once who was a republican. She said she knows her party is wrong on the abortion issue, and it really was the most important thing to her, but she will always be a republican no matter what.
I really was baffled, and still am, at this stance. Trying to figure out the logical consistency in conservatives is a joke
Ok this really perplexes me. I actually understand the other people’s reasoning. If you happen to agree with the Republicans on many issues, like if the Logcabin people are anti-choice, anti-immigration, pro–crony capitalism, and maybe those other issues are more important to you than the one where you disagree. In that case it does actually make sense to be a Republican.
But to turn around and say, like this woman does, that you disagree with them on the most important issue and still say you could never vote anyone else? That completely boggles the mind.
Makes sense once you realize it’s the “fuck you, got mine” attitude that’s at the core of republican voters. If/when this women needs an abortion she will get it in a heartbeat because only justified abortion is her abortion. If anyone else needs an abortion - fuck them, why do I care?
The hypocrisy of republican women is absolutely nothing new (“I think women are property except me because reasons ¯_(ツ)_/¯” and “only my abortion should be allowed”) but I’m a little fascinated by the republican women who are like “we should be property!” I’m sure i’m just falling short, but it’s hard to think of a group that seemingly consistently believe they deserve fewer rights.
I know a woman who is staunchly conservative and she isn’t a hypocrite. She really believes women are less than men. She once told me a woman can’t be president because “that’s a man’s job”. I think it’s mostly related to upbringing and brainwashing but damn I can’t believe someone advocates so hard against their own interest
I honestly think this is the right answer. My impression was she was very passionate on the issue, and she believed liberals were a lost cause (thanks right wing media) and the smart people on the right with her would listen to reason. Just another victim to the right wing propaganda machine unfortunately (but I must say I do know quite a few far left women today who years ago were pretty far up the republican parties ass, so there is hope for some)
Politics is kinda like being a fan of a sports team for many people. If my team blows the game I’m still a fan of the team. If some players on the team suck, sure I might want those players traded, but I still root for my team even if they aren’t.
And when we’re talking about being a fan of sports there’s nothing wrong with that. Sports are more fun when you’re rooting for a team, even when we know it’s fairly arbitrary which team you root for. But once you’ve chosen your team, you stick with that team otherwise it ruins all the fun. And people respect you for sticking with your team even when they have a bad season.
Of course politics isn’t sports, and shouldn’t be treated that way. But people do. Like wanting the team to trade the shit players but sticking with them even if they don’t, people may want their party to change their stance on some issues but will stick with them even if they don’t. They think sticking with the team, no matter what, is admirable. But unlike sports, the team you root for isn’t an arbitrary thing that doesn’t matter, choosing to stick with a party no matter what has consequences.
“What you got there, Sandy? Ah, another cow-bone that didn’t make it on the ark and got encrusted. Hold on… UMM UMM UMM UMM UMM, there you go, original shape.”
Sure, but what makes it even more mind-boggling is it literally goes against them.
You can attribute most republican ideology to egoism and hate for people different from you, but if YOU are the different person it’s just inconceivable. Feels like watching mice building a mousetrap.
You’d be surprised how many medical people are that ignorant. I work with first responders, and the covid years utterly destroyed my soul. So, so many friends and coworkers in that field are antivax… People I care about and thought rather highly of. And literally every single one is a trumper to boot.

Being an anti-vaxxer as a pharmacist or doctor should get your liscense to practice/dispense drugs revoked.
Women republicans are in the same boat

Lack of empathy is the key factor.

Stockholm syndrome.
I guess she was trying to change them from within? By… consistently voting Republican in every election?

Aren’t they just…
Gay republican antivax pharmacist. Simply amazing
Instant-game: Trying to one-up this.
Flatearther astronaut?
Don’t usual astronauts have to learn all about celestial mechanics and whatnot? Sounds like the master class to mental gymnastics.
How about a creationist-paleontologist?
Eh, I’d give it a spin.
“What you got there, Sandy? Ah, another cow-bone that didn’t make it on the ark and got encrusted. Hold on… UMM UMM UMM UMM UMM, there you go, original shape.”
Yeah, gay people are just people like everyone else. There are just as many brain dead people as any other group.

I know what you mean, but there are Millions of poor white people that vote Republican.
How can you be that ignorant? I guess he’s an outlier on a bell curve?
AKA a bell end.
DAMN! Missed opportunity, thanks for picking up the slack
Propaganda. Lots and lots of propaganda.

Gays can be idiots too. They are not immune from that.

I love how being wrong absolutely everything seems to be a package deal nowadays. He probably thinks the earth is flat too.
Maybe he mixed up anti vax and anti vag?
Lol I love it. That joke is going in my mental collection
American Dad had an episode on this in 2006, called Lincoln Lover.
And it looks like things haven’t changed! 😱
They’re red and they’re gay
