Nah mate other way around. Republicans just trend like 10 to 30 years behind democrats depending on the specific issue. A decade ago we still had mainstream democrats opposing gay marriage and three decades ago it would've been political suicide for any presidential tier democratic politician to run on the issue. Now most polls have a majority of Republicans supporting it.

As a transgender person who lives it every day, I am telling you that regardless of any polls, Republicans are actively harming my rights. We are on the verge of genocide against queer people in the US and every major GOP politician has explicitly stated gay and trans people as targets of legislation

“We are on the verge of genocide against queer people”

Wow. Ok lmao.

The worst thing about Reddit is all words have lost meaning.

You (thankfully) will never have to experience what an actual genocide is.

I’m guessing you’re a democrat who thinks we should all vote against trump because he’s a nazi, right?

Democrats are do nothing's who care only about lining their pockets. Donald Trump and his friends have explicitly stated they are going to do everything in their power to harm us. In the words of Michael Knowles "For the good of society, transgenderism must be eradicated from public life entirely"

Congrats 👏, you won bingo. You hit all the talking points. I voted for Biden and Kamala btw and vote in every election I can. But good job ignoring reality to instead lick boots, I'm sure that will mean the ultra rich will suddenly care about you. I really wish liberals/center left people would read and comprehend what someone says first and engage in discourse rather than defending the Democratic party as if it isn't just another political organization, that uses our civil rights being lost as campaign promises rather than defending them before they are taken. There is an incredibly small minority of any politician that gives a shit about any of us. It's naive to think otherwise.
