    He also apparently did not have overt anti-LGBTQIA+ values, beyond being a member of the GOP.

    Yes and (?) was never antisemitic, beyond being member of the nazi party. (???)

    If you are part of a party that stands STAUNCHELY against queers, you don’t deserve solidarity for being queer.

      You can blame that on the US’s bipartisan system rather than the multiparty system it is supposed to be.

      What other option would he have, the democrats? What if there are things that they did he didn’t agree with either? 3rd party is out the window because it would take minimum 2 elections to get their candidate in office.

        Oh no, poor guy had literally no choice but to participate in a corrupt system by going into politics and becoming a mayor 😭

        Get the fuck outta here.

          Ah yes, you shouldn’t go into politics to make the changes you would like to see because the “system is corrupt”

          Man, imagine being that retarded. The forefathers would have never revolted against the British if that logic actually made any sense whatsoever.

              Fighting evil with evil doesn’t make you a good guy. Don’t be evil, you can defeat fascists while still being a decent human being.
