Wow I have no words, I was hoping it was fake news...  Sorry to all you americans, thank god new elections soon

He’s been like this since the electoral campaigns tho, yet he still won. If he won back then, he could win another time unfortunately.

But didn't Trump saying something a few weeks ago that he's done so much for the LGBT community? I have to laugh. 

Doesn't this basically boil down to religion?

I mean Trump could still be elected. The electoral college system works against the Democrats and during the 2016 elections, Trump was the less popular candidate, but he was able to energize and bring out his voter base in the States that he needed (white conservatives/radical christians). The hope is, that he has lost the white suburban women, but we will know in 2020 which is more than a year away.

Hey @ all the conservative/centrists who say it's ok to vote for Trump because of THE ECONOMY

What good is work protection if the economy is bad and unemployment higher?

 

Regardless tho, hes such a horrible human being I cant fathom how ppl can actually vote for someone like trump

 

But im saying ppl can have other considerations when voting besides gay rights. If ppl were voting on that alone no openly gay person would support the conservatives

 

But its ok to have other considerations in politics. Politics isnt exclusively just about LGBT despite what GGD members sometimes act like

 

But yeah Trump is a horrible person and politician in general. I dont understand anyone who supports him unless ur a white person in the top 1% who he caters too

 

Even a lot of rich white males dont support trump cuz they have the decency to acknowledge that the stuff he stands for is just ethically wrong

-------

 

Edit: let me clarify my first point because everyone seems to be misunderstanding what I was trying to say

 

Im not saying this is ok or that it would benefit the economy at all

 

Im pointing out how from other points of view (not necessarily my opinion) that if someone buys Trumps stupid economic retorics and believes he can make everyones lives better economically, that may explain why some gays might make the trade off for what they think will make a stronger economy vs work protection rights

 

I wasnt saying that was my stance tho cuz its not

Imagine the Trumpettes being first to be fired if this passes. A MESS...but karma tbh.

I-

Germany, when it had massive economical problems around 1995-2005 didn't even touch work protection. They minimized the unemployment payment and incentivized people to found companies with a small crew or even just one worker.

This, very simplified example, shows that cancelling worker protection  doesn't need to be done at all for economies to get out of recession. Trump is also only targeting already marginalized groups with this, which is an extremely hayness thing to do. Your argument is stupid and you know it.

[Nightwing 518]

I just don't understand it. This makes me genuinely upset.

Why would you want to even do something like this. What's even more mind boggling are the LGBT people that still support Trump.

Honestly, if this passes, I hope they are the first and only ones to get fired from their jobs.

Ah yes, I forgot basic human rights have no intrinsic value if they don’t generate higher GDP #’s... 

Side note: basic human rights, like women equality in the workplace and basic protection for workers, is conducive with long term economic growth; source: any intro to economic development textbook. 

E.g. LGBTQIA+ citizens can’t invest their savings if they worry that they could be fired at literally any moment if their company found out about their sexuality. This holds true especially as the jobs market tightens.

What on God’s green Earth would give you the impression that this hasn’t been precisely the Trump administration’s goal from day 1...

That is not at all what I was saying
