I know, they despise them so much they want to protect them from the hatred spewed by foreign ideology.
Oh, you mean when they are not endorsing forced electroshock treatment for minors to "convert" them?
Or when they are not advocating for laws to allow religious people to refuse to serve them, including emergency first responders, such as EMTs, firemen, and police officers?
Or when they promise to appoint justices to the Supreme Court who will revoke their right to marry?
Or when they are blocking laws to protect them from employment and housing discrimination, so they cannot be fired for their jobs or kicked out of their homes for being LGBT?
Or when they are blocking the FBI from investigating hate crimes against LGBT people?
All of these things are in their official party platform.
But hey, they promise to protect LGBT people from foreign terrorists. You know, the same as they are supposed to do for everyone else. Because being harmed by a foreign terrorist attack is more likely than any of the above.
With friends like those, they do not need enemies.

Er, all I said was that it's potentially a good thing he might be changing his tune.
And that maybe he doesn't truly 100% despise this community as much as some think.
But hey, let's give into fear and panic! You're so smart Adam, would you like an American flag to set on fire?

Yeah but he probably burns flags, just like everyone on the left. You won again. Good job. So smart. *Clap*
I know, I've won again just like the non-pieces of shit on the Clinton side won whenever they'd categorize all the Trump supporters as racists and all that jazz. Just like everyone in the media would win whenever they'd try to say all Trump supporters are stupid and all that. But hey, at least they learned their lessons not to do that.
Oh happy day!

No, you intimated that if Republicans truly hated LGBT people, they would not be willing to protect them from foreign terrorist attacks, which 1.) is a ****ing low bar, and 2.) is demonstrably untrue for all the reasons I listed above.
But hey, maybe LGBT people—who are a vulnerable minority group in the United States; who do not have the same housing, employment, hate crimes, and public accommodations protections as other Americans; who represent the highest proportion of bias motivated crimes, despite comprising less than 10% of the population—should trust Republicans to not do exactly what they have been promising to do, and what they have been trying to do, now that they control all three branches of government.
Go **** yourself.
If they hated them WHY would they give a shit if terrorists attack them?
Holy shit, this is amusing. I certainly see I hit a nerve. If they truly hated them they wouldn't be trying to protect them from anyone. But then I never even said they'd truly try to protect them..only that they SAID they would.

😬 Trump called out the DNC for screwing over Benie; does this mean he thinks Sanders would make a good president, or that he cares about his personal political success? Uh, no. It was just a convenient political trick.

Either a.) they hate foreign Muslims more than they hate LGBT Americans, or b.) they do not care, but they think it will make them look good to say it. Pick one.

It would be amusing if you were not so offensively ignorant to suggest that a vulnerable minority group whose safety and security is in question is just being histrionic despite all evidence to the contrary. You have to be a special kind of stupid to even think such a thing, much less commit it to type.

I never even said Trump was guaranteed to actually take any action to protect them. I merely asked if he truly despised them why would he bother to try? You can say he is lying if you want. You of course have zero evidence, and you of course have been wrong about Trump before, but meh.

Okay so do you honestly not see the problem here? With arrogant little shits assuming they can't possibly be wrong? That is one of the reasons we are here in the first place.
It could certainly have been a political trick. Or..not? I'm not pretending to know for sure.
It's as if you genuinely want something like this election to just be repeated. Why? How do you personally benefit from that? Explain, and have it make sense.
You don't know as much as you think because if you did Trump wouldn't be the f*cking president. It's time to get over yourself and your ego.

The evidence is in the official Republican party platform, and he is the chief of the party; and it is in his choice of Vice President, who is one of the most virulently anti-LGBT politicians in the country.

You can point to the platform to show us some of the things he might do. But we just do not know. We have no idea if he's bullshitting us or not. Some of the shit this guy seemed hardcore about..he has stepped back from.
You are pretending like you know better than most. Which again: is how we ended up here.
Do you..do you legitimately not want us to prevent anything like this from happening again?

See, in this reply you didn't actually respond to anything that I was saying in a remotely substantive manner. This is exactly why I act like an "arrogant little sh*t" to you - because the difference in our abilities is so palpable it's impossible not to point out.
But literally your response to every bad thing people have said about Trump is that *maybe* he's faking it and won't do anything in office. You basically gambled not only Muslim Americans, minorities, NATO and the Paris Accords on this random guess, but also the continuity of human civilization. Kudos. 👆
Lol dude my response is to maybe address that this shit might not be as dark as some think. I never even said this shows Trump will actually behave this way.
That is why arrogant little shits like you are so up in arms. You show your true colors. You don't give a shit about this country, and deep down in your sick little mind? You'd rather Trump behave in a way that shows he is the EXACT kind of person you and everyone else was so afraid he'd be.
You're pathetic and transparent. Because people like you would rather be proven right than have anything actually change. People want to say the uneducated people in this country are the problem? No, it's the educated smug little twerps like you that are ultimately going to ruin this country.

Right? No one can know the actual thoughts in Trump's mind, but we're also not supposed to take him at his word about what he says his actual thoughts are? Despite his relevant past behavior? Despite the document of stated principles and goals he pledged himself to? Why should anyone believe anything to the contrary? It's a spurious argument.

How does anything in this post remotely relate to what we were talking about?
Lmfao, your candidate won, and yet you're the one going crazy. It's hilarious.
