Non-religious Republicans of Lemmy, how do you reconcile your non-religious convictions with a party that bases a lot of its policies on religion? (lemm.ee)

You’ve said some stupid shit but “The gop is unintentionally better for lgbtq than the dnc.” takes the cake.

The DNC is trying to disarm lgbtq. The GOP isn't.

What else is there to say?

Are you allowed to shoot at cops? No.

Can you shoot politicians who are taking away your HUMAN rights? No.

What planet do you live on where owning your silly handgun or shotgun is going to protect you from the big bad government?

The GOP is actively trying to take human rights away from LGBTQ+ people. In fact, they don’t even believe they are human.

So yes, thinking the gop is good in any way for people who aren’t straight white Christians is 100% the most idiotic take I’ve seen from you yet.
