      The frothing troglodyte Trump fanatics may care about stuff like that, but the ruling class don’t break ranks over petty stuff like that. Culture war nonsense is to keep the plebs divided and pliable.

          I don’t think you understood the comment you’re replying to.

          He’s saying none of the elite gives two shits about gays or lgbtq. They’re distraction tactics to divide the lower classes and keep them fighting.

            Well then I’ve said this before- bigots are of every class and if the elites never said one single thing about queer people again, they would still be oppressed, attacked and murdered by poor people who are also bigots.

            Bigotry existed long, long, long before capitalism, so one has nothing to do with the other.

              In your melodramatic fantasy, the government would be the ones putting people in “conversion camps” and post-Luigi demonstrated very clearly that the ruling elite are not allowed to be seen as subject to the same reality as the rest of us. Tim Cook won’t end up anywhere and if he does, I’ll eat my hat. Screenshot this post.

                In my “melodramatic fantasy,” queer people are already being treated like that without Trump being in charge. And you think it will get better?
