The final night of the Republican National Convention was as confusing and incoherent as it was disturbing. Before Donald Trump brought forward his chilling imitation of history’s greatest fascists, Ivanka Trump and Peter Thiel made bizarre plays for the votes of women and LGBT people.
Ivanka Trump riffed on issues like equal pay and affordable childcare, which are typically Democratic issues. Thiel announced that he’s “proud to be gay” to wild applause from a roomful of people who are the very base that voted against the rights and dignity of LGBT people, over and over again.
“This is a distraction from our real problems,” Thiel said of the battle over trans people using the bathroom. “Who cares?”
Well, the people in the audience care. Indeed, they are the only people who care at all. If all Republican voters agreed tomorrow to stop worrying about trans people in bathrooms, the issue would evaporate and no one would ever talk about it again. But the way the audience went nuts, you would think that it’s Democrats who are passing a bunch of laws policing who uses what bathroom.

He is right, it is a stupid distraction
We need to be smart and destroy the democrats on economy and security, not potty time
We don’t need a national potty department, let the states/locals put up with these issues
The left will never own up to their mass murder of enemy ideologies and still try to demonize them to this day. Ia 150 million or so killed by their own leftist governments in the last century enough already? Is it time to even the score?
How many times has Salon gone bankrupt?
Probably more than Trump businesses. That is what happens when you market to loosers.
A White Shortened?
It isn’t a distraction. It is a part of the deconstruction of Western Civilization and replacing it with one of the most toxic social “visions” ever conceived. The Fed Gov, btw, is the one pushing the “you are what you choose to claim you are” and letting men and boys into womens’ rooms and lockerrooms. Thinking that you can detach economic issues and national security issues from so-called “social issues” is absurd.
CHILLING? The left’s favorite word.
I have never thought much about end times but I think this is the beginning of end times
“The final night of the Republican National Convention was as confusing and incoherent as it was disturbing”
To a flaming liberal that is.
Amanda, sweetie, the GOP won’t bake you a cake for your gay wedding, but as you have seen in Orlando, the DNC’s friends will kill you. Shut up and sit down.
You know, there is something about women named Amanda. Every one of them that I have ever been aware of has been a harpy. I’m sure there must be some nice Amandas out there but I’ve never met one that I can remember. They’ve all been shrews.
“...voted against the rights and dignity of LGBT people”
Yep, perverts stay out of my daughter’s bathroom.
What alternate universe do these idiots come from?
Amanda appears to have received her marching orders from the DNC. We’ll probably soon be reading about her DNC collusion at the Wikileaks site.
Ultra leftist mindless pukes. If this crap is all they have, Trump has it made
Interesting observation! I only know one, but can confirm.
