re: #442 HappyWarrior

I can’t believe gay Republicans are still a thing. I don’t expect every gay person to be a Democrat FWIW. It’s conceivable that a gay person could have economically right wing views or even some right wing social views but the Republican Party has been declaring war on gay people since the Reagan years and not only that partnering up with people who push the death penalty for gays in Africa and being the loudest supporters from the West of Putin’s Anti-Gay laws.

I don’t understand it. Sure, I can grasp having a different economic view, but the thing is - the current Republican economic stand is far more extreme than Reagan, let alone Teddy Roosevelt. If you call yourself a Roosevelt Republican, and yet support a party that would call Roosevelt a Communist, how does that even make sense?
