>Jim Hoft, a longtime hard-right blogger also known as the Gateway Pundit, thinks he has the answer. Yesterday, Hoft revealed that he was gay on Breitbart news and argued that it was time for gay people to “come home” to the conservative party. He wrote: “I can no longer remain silent as my gay brothers and sisters are being slaughtered at dance clubs. There is only one man who can lead this nation and protect all gays and all Americans. His name is Donald Trump.”
>He told the Guardian, “If there is an enemy of homosexuality today, we can look at the Middle East. There we see countries where it’s still illegal. We’ve seen the horrific pictures of them throwing gays off the roof in Syria and Iraq, and they believe they’re doing this out of some Islamic connotation. Certainly radical Islam is a severe threat to gays in the west.”
I'm MtF trans and a communist, but I think its clear that Trump is willing to stand up for LGBT rights while Clinton is only interested in removing our right to self defense and appeasing those who wish to kill us. Probably going to switch my vote because of this.
Who else here /leftypol/, /lgbt/, and voting for Trump?

Shut up June.

I'm not american but I think Trump being elected needs to happen. Hillary is a shill that represents the status quo, the greater of the two evils. Maybe in 8 years they can get a democrat again.
>>6389073
Who?

Are you autistic or underage?
you're all idiots
>>6389098
Lol I'm not pic related if that's what you're asking. Actually more nihilistic than anything really, but I agree with communism's ideals.
Regardless, I'd rather have someone actually committed to my rights in office than a shill.
Democrats are not the allies of lgbt where it counts. Gun control or, their preferred endgame, total civilian disarmament does not suddenly mean that guns do not exist. It just means that guns have been removed from the hands of law-abiding citizens and consolidated in the hands of law-enforcement, the military, and criminals. You might notice that none of those three groups have historically been particularly lgbt-friendly.
Guns are an equalizing element that allow the weak and the marginalized to defend themselves from the strong and the bigoted. The lgbt community, perhaps more so than any other minority group in this day and age, needs to be armed and willing to take their safety into their own hands if necessary, because I do not trust the government to do so no matter who is in power. If that means I need to vote in people I may disagree with on other issues, then so be it.

I think with Trump we may end up seeing the Republican party split up. I think there are a lot of people in the party who are sick of the religious right bitching about abortion and gay marriage while our country is sold down the river through terrible trade deals, constant mass immigration to satisfy the chamber of commerce's demand for low wages, and costly, pointless wars. The psychopathic neocon shit has to end soon.
Trump is at least wanting to put Americans first, and realizes that the "hot-button" issues are all bullshit sideshows.
>>6389111
yeah, vote for the guy who'll hand america over to black lives matter instead

I actually voted for Sanders in the Democratic primary, and if he was going to be in the general election would maybe vote for him again. Sure he's a cuck, but he was honest about his views and his campaign removed some of the harshness from the socialist label.
I don't really see any reason to vote for Clinton however, especially not if you're a leftist or support LGBT people.
If they could only understand how lucky they are to live in the west as a homo. They think their society is invincible and all they have to do is push and push for more rights and more acceptance.
To be a conservative homo is to understand that our society can be taken over if not defended. Everything we have could be taken away and ignoring that will be our death.

I thought that too until he started talking about gun control (Vermont is very gun friendly) and pic related.
>>6389537
When did he say that?

I usually get bothered by this, seeing as I've lived my whole white life under the poverty level, but the more I think about the whole "ending institutional racism" the more I see it as "I'm going to change culture" which is very crazy the more you look at it.
Culture is defined as the transmitted social customs, ways of thought, expression, and the like. How the fuck do you plan to change culture in a way that's not reeducation?
>>6389616
I don't personally consider disparities in things like crime to be "institutional racism."
>>6389641
And that's fair. I think a large part of the debate is that both sides seem to argue for what the whole of the issue is. People argue for the validity of their explanation as a cause and then it's simply assumed to be the whole of the issue.
That's just my point of view.
>>6389052
>communist
nice meme political theory there. maybe you'll rethink your stance on equal distribution when comrade tyrone and abdul are pushing grenades into your axe-wound for spending money on hormones and surgery.
>>6389572
I get what he was trying to say there, but goddamn he could not have phrased that any worse. Telling working-class whites that they are fundamentally distinct from working-class blacks is antithetical to socialism. That kind of talk from the left is what drives the poor white population to the right. It's like they're perpetually stuck thinking that they're only addressing university students.
the left and the right collude to keep anyone that might be worth a shit out of any positions to do so. every gay person I know touts the whole "homosexuals have an innately higher IQ than heterosexuals" so why dont you mo's wise up and be the ones ahead of the curve
Socialist here. Trump is the best vote, he will inevitably start the class war that will ignite your revolution. Viva Trump! Viva la revolution! Viva la United Socialist States of America.
>>6389052
>I'm MtF trans and a communist... Probably going to switch my vote because of this.
Comrade, why? You fallen for the idpol bs, being lured to vote against your interests because of one single issue. Clinton is crap to, of course, but how can you as a communist cast your vote for the physicall incarnation of bourgeois callousness? Rethink this carefully.
>>6390707
I know, but I guess I kind of wish he wasn't considering just how bad Clinton is. Is the right choice to not vote at all?
>>6390727
The right choice is revolution.
Given that we can't do that, it becomes more complicated.
Clinton is just a shill, DO NOT vote for her. Trump on the other hand is so terrible that the comrade here >>6389843, though clearly joking, might have a point: him as president might actually trigger a socialist wave. Green Party won't win of course or even come close, not with Stein, but might get enough votes to maaaybe get into debates and maaaaybe break the two-party system for the next election. Maybe. Downside is that if lots of people go GP, it will likely split the Dem vote and lead to a Trump victory (like what happened with Nader); but if you're seriously considering voting Trump anyway then this is not a problem.
Now Bernie as a Green, or independent, might be something. Not likely to happen, though... but yeah go Green as a protest vote. It lets Trump win but your conscience is clean, and it might maybe actually do something positive.

>I'm MtF trans and a communist
No surprise that only the mentally ill find communism attractive.
>>6390753
Elect trump, break down the GOP and have a proper election with several potential parties in 8 years.
>>6390818
Basically, yeah. The ideal would be a similar breakdown on the Dem side. The dream is a different GOP candidate, Trump as an independent, Clinton for the Dems and Bernie as an indepentent or Green - it would fuck over US politics completely.
>>6390753
I would never joke about the formation of the glorious USSA!
But seriously this thought process is why I'm voting out of the EU
>>6390840
>implying bernie can live another four years
>>6390860
Yeah I always figured if he won they'd kill him and call it a "heart attack".
