I have a former coworker who is a lesbian (she's in her mid-thirties and is on her third or fourth marriage. Her first marriage, before she announced she was a lesbian, was to a man and she had a daughter with him, the others have all been to women). I'm friends with her on facebook (don't interact with her much anymore) and she posts pro-Trump, right-wing crap all the time on there. She served in the military for a few years and her wives have all been active-duty military personnel. She claims her pro-Trump stance is because she loves the military and sees Democrats as anti-veteran (I know, I know) and I suspect it's also underlaid with some anti-black racism, even though she's also Hispanic. There is a group called Log Cabin Republicans which promotes gay rights, but at this point it does seem wildly self-defeating to be a LGBTQ person and still vote Republican. You might as well be voting to cut your own throat, imo.

We’ve got a neighbor who lives one street over who is Lesbian and a Yoga instructor. She’s also a Trumper. Had Trump signs in her front yard in 2020 and 2024. (And I think in 2016 as well)

Are you kidding? A Lesbian yoga teacher? I don’t know too much about her, but I think she must be a mix of racist and “give me my tax break” - type of Maga. Perhaps a little “don’t take my guns” nut too… just guessing. With a little anti-immigrant thrown in as well.

That’s the thing about Maga… it’s quite a large tent with enough room for 77 million voters. That’s a big damn tent.
 
Everybody seems to have that one hot button issue that motivates their vote. And as stated, the Maga machine has a huge tent under which a ton of folks can find a place:
Gun nuts, racists, misogynists, tax breaks, small gubment, anti-LGBTQ, anti-abortion, pro-military, book burners, tea-parties, oath keeping proud boys, good old boys, handmaidens, boomers, low intellect-types, folks who’ve never travelled out of their home State, anti-Union, anti-immigration/build the wall, Fox News watchers, warmongers and “let’s stay out of foreign wars” all put together, anti-Washington DC types who relish the idea of having a “bidnessman-not a career politician” in the Whitehouse.

It’s a big fucking tent… and it only takes one (1) !!! Of those singular issues to make a would be “normal” American vote Maga. Just one.

No doubt you will frame it differently, but the fact that they apparently couldn't find one (1) issue, should tell you how disconnected the Democratic party actually is from the American people.

"We need to get the politics out of women's healthcare," said Rep. Kat Cammack (R-Fla.), whose party is the one that made women's healthcare political in the fucking first place.

Well then you should feel great when your maga application is accepted.

Go ahead, have fun, just don't expect any actual policy or issues to be resolved. Promises are nothing without results.
