“‘I never thought leopards would eat MY face,’ sobs woman who voted for the Leopards Eating People’s Faces Party.”
“LGBTQ conservatives.” How fucking stupid and self-loathing do you need to be, Jesus Christ.
Sadly the pickme mindset is not limited to gender.
gasp I can’t believe it, queer people being misled by people who explicitly want them to not exist?!?
Not to be an asshole but I feel like he’s been crystal clear the entire time about his anti-LGBTQ crusade.
“The leopards surely won’t eat my face.”
Any LGBTQ person marching to the goose step of the Nazis that is surprised the Nazis turn on them is repeating the same mistake Jewish kapos made in the concentration camps. “Surely the Germans will see my value, keeping the other Jews in line,” says the Jewish kapo every day until he is burned up in the gas chamber—replaced by another kapo who thinks the same. Educate yourself on history so you don’t end up doomed to repeat it.
the anti-LGBTQ agenda was pretty overt, what did they think they were getting? do they know who DeSantis is? I’m convinced these people either don’t exist or are some of the dumbest people on the planet.
I give little to no shit about collaborators’ feelings. They want to make things good for themselves and throw everyone else under the bus. Their politics have no place in our collective liberation
Thank you! “Collaborator” is exactly the right word. The judges would also have accepted “Quisling”
“I used to think he was a great governor,” Santos, the first non-incumbent gay Republican elected to Congress, said of DeSantis. “Now, I’m starting to think differently.”
The Hill quoting the NY Republican Senator and chronic liar George Santos takes the cake.
Off-topic, but wow, what a spaghetti bowl of adjectives that first sentence is. What does “first non -incumbent gay Republican elected” even mean as a string of qualifiers? I can just about parse it, but the phrasing makes it read as though all the incumbent gay Republicans before him were straight when they won their first elections, instead of just closeted.
Also, with this guy, any of those qualifiers could be a complete fabrication. Why does anyone in the media take anything this dude says seriously?
Misled??? What did they think he was all about??? What did they think he could possibly offer the LGBTQ community???
You can’t be misled when his hatred for LGBTQ+ folks has been front and centre for his entire campaign.
“I really thought that the leopards would eat other people’s faces, not mine.”
I’m sorry but if you are an lgbt republican then you are among the stupidest people to have ever lived.

“LGBTQ conservatives” is a descriptor for selfish, willfully ignorant people who are happy to burn their own community to the ground if it means they have a chance at being the bully that GOP ideals promise they can be
-
Assimilationism never fucking works. People who want people like you dead will never see you as “one of the good ones.” You will never be anything more than a tool for them to wield against others
-
If you feel like you were mislead by DeSantis, then you weren’t paying attention. He’s been extremely explicit about his stances
-
Leopards, faces, etc.

TIL there are LGBTQ conservatives 🤯
Anyways, lmao
AKA, “my tax rate is more important to me than the survival of myself and my immediate family.”
And even then, 9 times out of 10, it’s not even their tax rate that is being lowered (or if it is, marginally, it’s set to sunset in a few years while the cuts for corporations and the uber wealthy are permanent).
Happens a lot. Just like for women or PoC, the idea is if you can fully integrate and be a loyal party member, you can reap the benefits as “one of the good ones.” FD Signifier has a great video about black conservatives in US politics. Problem is, conservatives look for enemies inward once the exterior ones are eliminated.
Same thing happens in the Jewish community. My father is a Republican and believes that Republicans support Jews because “they support Israel.” He doesn’t see that the only reasons that Republicans support Israel are because:
- The evangelicals want Israel to exist and be run by Jews so it can be attacked and Jesus can return.
And
- So the right has a place to say Jews really belong (not in America).
They’ll “support Israel” all day and night while actively pushing for a Christian Theocracy in America where Jews are (at best) second class citizens.
and the funniest part of it all is that they did it to themselves. morons.
Queer conservatives lack basic survival instincts, too…
