 You know, even though Republicans have made it very clear how they feel about marginalized people, they'll still pander to them from time to time in the off chance that economic conservatives from those groups choose to prioritize their economic interests above their own human dignity. Those people do exist. Dave Rubin is one example. But I think that the Republican Party in these instances are also probably trying to give themselves plausible So that way whenever they're accused of the phobias or the isms they can point to posts like this to say We're not homophobic But let me tell you what I mean by that specifically. So on June 2nd, New Jersey's GOP made this tweet in celebration of Pride Month The NJ GOP stands with the LGBTQ community in celebrating Pride Month 2022 But as Afree points out, isn't it weird that every time a Republican Party says that Republicans aren't homophobic? There's hundreds of replies that are like fuck off. Yes. We are homophobic. It's very weird indeed Now, let me show you what they mean by that because these were some of the responses to that tweet What is a woman? Lividicus 1822 Val shall not lie with mankind as with woman kind. It is an abomination What a failure of a party you are all terrible Job 35 12 Psalms 59 12 Proverbs 16 8 Mark 722 just to name a few at GOP We do not celebrate quote-unquote pride in this form or the Romans one manner This is wickedness and the byproduct of sin It will be a cold day in hell before we allow our kids to be taught. This is normal hashtag What is a woman? Nobody likes this shit, man? It's always weird when I see Democrats politicize your sexual choice Oh wait, this is a GOP tweet weird y'all are starting to blend together as a one-party choice It's laughable that you think we believe this they get one day they get one month Yeah, so as you can see lots and lots of enthusiasm from the Republican Party's base After they made that tweet very very funny now bit of a side note here It's so telling that these conservatives who claim to care about veterans Don't even know that the entire month of May is literally national military appreciation month You'd think that if they actually cared about veterans and weren't just cynically using veterans to bash pride that they would know this But of course, they don't know this but back to Avery's point They were correct to point out that the base was quick to shoot down even the most Smallest insignificant attempt to make a superficial appeal to queer people But that's not all because yesterday was Juneteenth and if you logged on to Twitter You'd see a bunch of conservatives screeching about how this shouldn't be a holiday Charlie Kirk for example tweeted out you should be working today not taking today off for a CRT inspired federal holiday That competes with July 4th. You hear that Americans get back to work How dare you take a day off to celebrate the literal emancipation of slaves get back to the factories Unbelievable now while right-wing propagandists worked over time to complain about Juneteenth The national GOP presumably wanted people to believe that they were actually happy about the emancipation of slaves And they tweeted out a quote from the GOP chairwoman, which read Juneteenth reminds us all how valuable freedom is and what we can achieve when we appeal to our nation's highest ideals and Come together as Americans and of course, it's very ironic for this party to make that point now But regardless, I think you all know where this is going Avery shared their old tweet and added this but replace homophobic with racist and they weren't wrong because conservatives also Were not very happy about this tweet as well Really glad to see the GOP working on the important issues as if making a fucking tweet is going to distract them from bashing trans people Give me a fucking break instead of kowtowing to the left try showing some courage instead. Why freedom days July 4th? Not June 19th hashtag woke I don't think that they realize that not everyone was free at the time of our independence But I mean you're woke if you think otherwise this person adds Celebrating the left's woke national holiday is exhibit a of why the national GOP continues to lose just here for the ratio Thank you, Jenna. Who is running this account? What the actual fuck? My god sickening Don't be ridiculous meet the new pandering GOP so lame and pathetic get the fuck out of here middle finger emoji Traders we were better off before mmm. That's gonna be a very big yikes from me But I mean that goes on and on and on but another side note Did you notice how most of the replies there are from blue check marks on Twitter? That's why Twitter has gotten so bad because those racist accounts are being boosted by the algorithm since they pay for Twitter And as a result, that's what you see when you log on to Twitter Racism white supremacy outright Nazism homophobia Transphobia that's the effect that Elon Musk has had on the platform But back to the posts because just to kind of give you an overview as to how triggered the GOP's base was over those two tweets Here's the ratios for both of them over 1,000 comments to less than 200 likes on the pride post and nearly 800 comments to less than 400 likes on the Juneteenth post and it's weird that the GOP would make those posts presumably with the intention of seeming inclusive After their years-long propaganda campaign is actually starting to pay dividends For example, a new Gallup poll finds that support for same-sex relationships has dropped significantly 71% of Americans found same-sex relationships morally acceptable in 2022 But as of 2023 that number has dropped by seven points to 64 percent overall Side note the death penalty also got a five-point bump in support So that's also a little bit depressing But you also see a decline in support for birth control divorce and sex between unmarried couples Which is kind of an overall indication that the country is shifting slightly towards social conservatism Although a bit of a caveat those jumps in those categories are not statistically significant But the decline in support for same-sex relationships is statistically significant with Republicans support dropping by 15 points since 2022 and even the Democratic Party support dropping by six points over the year So this begs the question if your propaganda campaign is working why contradict yourself with these inclusive tweets We all know that you don't mean it and you're just gonna piss off your own base now to be honest I'm not a hundred percent sure why they do things like this But I think it probably comes down to again them having plausible deniability if someone accuses the GOP of being racist or Homophobic well one of their sick of fans can point to these inclusive tweets as evidence that they're actually welcoming to everyone And I think that this is really directed towards the normies more so than the core base And the reason why I think that this is plausible deniability is because the same thing happened with Trump back in 2016 when I would explain to people Conservatives in particular that Trump was anti LGBTQ plus they'd show me this picture of Trump with a pride flag as evidence That that's not actually true Because of course, you know all of his anti LGBTQ plus policies matter less than the one time he held of a fucking pride flag But again, I'm not totally sure why they do this But keep this in mind whenever you hear someone argue that their base is concerned about kitchen table issues and economic issues because That's just not true Their core base is so batched fucking insane that I think the actual party is scared of them because they want them to be hyper-focused on these woke issues Now the party should be afraid of their base because their base is indeed crazy But they shouldn't be surprised that this is their base because when you spend decades pandering to the most extreme elements in society There's gonna come come a time eventually when you're not going to be able to satiate their thirst for even more extremism And it seems like we're kind of at that point right now does it not Okay, wokarion ideology woke task, wokarion, woke Olympic Wokarion What I love is to work around
