Trump knows his base spends roughly 20 hours a day obsessing about gay men having sex

[Snake Plissken]

the other 4 hours they spend obsessing about transgender people and public restrooms

[Fatemah2774]

1. Bathrooms

It is not about bathrooms, just like it wasn't about water fountains before. It is one of power. And we all know the quote. Power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely.

[DetlefK]

2. I noticed something funny on the comment-section of RT:

Out of all people, it's the Anti-Semites who are really obsessed with discussing who counts as a proper Jew and who doesn't.

[cwydro]

3. Huh?

And weren't you the poster who called him "Liberace's grandfather" yesterday?

Finding this a bit confusing.

[Snake Plissken]

6. Why you don't think Trump looks like Liberace just about 40 years older?

Or is Liberace strictly defined by his sexuality to you and nothing else?

[cwydro]

7. Liberace died at just about Trump's age.

So I have no idea what you mean about 40 years older. No, he doesn't look like him to me. I'm a gay person, so I really don't find these type posts amusing.

Your aim here is clear.

[Snake Plissken]

8. And he looked about 40 years younger than Trump

And personally I really don't care if you're gay or straight, it makes absolutely no difference to me,we're all human beings, nothing more, nothing less.

[cwydro]

9. Funny how you keep posting these type threads.

Good bye.

[Weekend Warrior]

14. I hope you can bring yourself to understand why this is so offensive.

"And personally I really don't care if you're gay or straight, it makes absolutely no difference to me,we're all human beings, nothing more, nothing less."

You should care. You should care deeply. We aren't "all human beings, nothing more, nothing less." I truly wish that were the case but it is not. Cwydro and millions of others absolutely are less in the eyes of governments and citizens across the world. This is a different variation of "I don't see skin color". You should care what Cwydro is saying to you.

"it makes absolutely no difference to me"

It should, my friend. It should.

[Snake Plissken]

17. I'm not going to treat anyone any differently than I would expect anyone to treat me

I'm not going to allow anyone to make me categorize people in various groups as if some people are inferior to others based on various human characteristics or religious beliefs. If you find that offensive, I really don't know what to tell you. It makes no difference to me who a person is, I will treat them as an equal and judge them by their deeds and actions, and not by who they are.

[Weekend Warrior]

22. You should recognize their inequality in society.

You should behave as such recognition has been made. It is the only way to generate change. It is the only way to garner a deeper understanding of oppression. It is the only way to have a healthy world-view based in reality.

[Snake Plissken]

23. And it's a proven strategy of electing more Trumps

If we continue to focus on our differences instead of our strengths, the Trumps of the world win 100% of time.

It's what happen in 2004 when John Kerry lost and it repeated itself in 2016 when a pile of shit like Trump won.

I have no problem fighting tooth and nail to ensure all human beings are treated equally and get 100% equal rights, because I don't want to live in a country that does not respect all human beings as equals, and it's the right thing to do, but I'm not going to sit back and continue to watch election after election get thrown away because Republicans are allowed to divide and conquer by defining us as groups they can focus on and attack with such ease.

It is exactly why Trump is now attacking the LGBT community, to keep the illusion that the Democratic party is a party that only cares about minorities.

[Weekend Warrior]

24. I find this to be a truly horrifying and dismissive thought process.

"If we continue to focus on our differences instead of our strengths, the Trumps of the world win 100% of time."

For one, it's not a statement of fact. It is actually a statement not based in fact at all.

"I have no problem fighting tooth and nail to ensure all human beings are treated equally and get 100% equal rights, because I don't want to live in a country that does not respect all human beings as equals, and it's the right thing to do, but I'm not going to sit back and continue to watch election after election get thrown away because Republicans are allowed to divide and conquer by defining us as groups they can focus on and attack with such ease."

Your first two sentences and thought process go completely against the highlighted section of your quote here. That's why it was necessary to add your "but" that has no basis in fact.

[Orrex]

13. Interesting observation.

Hmm...

[cwydro]

16. Yes.

Ill trash the thread now, but if anyone seems to have an obsession here...

So tired of the gay slurs that pass unheeded here. I rarely alert. Maybe I should.

[Behind the Aegis]

26. It is getting really tiresome.

There are more in this thread, including one from someone who started another thread chastising the LGBT community and telling us what to do. Homophobia, heterosexism, and heterosexual privilege are all things which need to be addressed but are often glossed over, if not completely ignored. As for alerting...good luck.

[LastLiberal in PalmSprings]

4. They also obsess all the time about women being in control of their own bodies

How else to explain so many anti-abortion bills?

[Blue_true]

5. Many people in that base can describe every act.

Most people have other things to do and recognize that a person's sexuality is no one's business.

[colsohlibgal]

10. Wonder Why

I see a lot of self loathing and projection among those creeps.

[Snake Plissken]

12. I have no idea, but there is no denying they are completely obsessed with it

That is the only reason Trump is playing this card, to keep them distracted.

[dalton99a]

11. That, and bleeding women

[maryellen99]

15. His base is scared of everything including their own shadows nt

[nikibatts]

18. Like some of his base is not LBGT??? I watched some of the exit poll interviews. Maybe he didn't

and maybe he doesn't know who is in the Log Cabin?

[Snake Plissken]

21. Some people place greed, racism and bigotry, or any combination of the three, above all else.

How else can you explain the majority of White females voting for Trump?

19. Must be having some wild dreams...

"They probably rent a house on Crete for the summer."

20. This is what it is about:
