Among the many examples of how cynically the progressive Left exploits fringe special-interest groups to do their political bidding, none is more stark than the callous manner in which they manipulate the LGBTQ+ crowd.
Progressives have fashioned the LGBTQ+ group into a political “mafia.” Their job is to strike fear into the neighboring community, attempt to exert influence over events to their own benefit and just generally intimidate the surrounding society at large by forcing them to act in any manner the mafia wants. The bottom-line goal of the mafia’s activity is to make progressives look good and to make conservatives gun-shy. So-called “normal” society doesn’t want to cross the LGBTQ+ mafia, lest they be labeled as intolerant haters and run the risk of having their business boycotted and being publicly shamed for their backward views.
Depending on what study is cited and what metric qualifies an individual as belonging to the LGBTQ+ demographic, by any measure, the percentage is small, anywhere from .5% to 5-10% of the population. How, then, does such a small numerical group exert such a large influence on American society and culture?

But their political stance is quite a different story.
Progressives will jump at the chance to use any hot social topic as a weapon with which to attack and besmirch conservatives and damage their image in the eyes of that all-important voting group, low-information undecided “swing” voters. In your gut, you just know that none of those high-profile progressives has even the slightest personal stake or interest in any of those issues.
All of these current issues are poison-tipped arrows in the progressive quiver:

It is good that Trump is on the LGBTQ+ side of things.
LGBTQPEDOGROOIMERS!
The LGBLT has blown their victim status by associating with the groomer cult infesting public schools. There’s no getting them out. Public schools must be defunded and emptied of children. We have to burn the village to save it.
LGBTQ+ is not a movement. It is a disease that has come upon the land.
I’ve seen that the LGBTQ+ juggernaut is now attempting to include Autism in the scheme.
She said that LGBTQ represents 20% of the population and that conservative beer drinkers are just a tiny handful of violent extremists.
I’ll bet Trump would be a Bud Light drinker if he weren’t a non-drinker.;-)
That is why Trump sent out Don Junior to defend Anheuser-Busch because the Trump's value donations over morality.
How do you know that Trump sent out Don Jr to defend AB-InBev? Do you have a source for that conclusion or is that just speculation on your part?
Trump unveils sweeping attack on trans rightsFormer President Trump is promising to radically roll back transgender rights if elected president in 2024.
The big picture: Gender-affirming care would be directly under threat from Trump, who vowed in a video posted to his social network to punish doctors and hospitals who provided the services to trans and nonbinary people.
What he's saying: In the video, Trump says he will push Congress to pass a law to ban gender-affirming care for minors nationwide.
Under his pledge, medical professionals who do provide gender-affirming care to youth would be cut off from Medicare and Medicaid, which serves as a major source of financial support for hospitals and physicians. Teachers or school officials who "suggest to a child that they could be trapped in the wrong body" would face "severe consequences," Trump added. That could take the form of civil rights penalties and loss of federal funds, NBC News reports.
Trump criticized DeSantis taking on Disney over child grooming and child genital mutilation.
It is only recently that Trump has changed to defend children from transition surgery because it polls well with Republicans.
He really doesn’t believe in it.
I wonder if he decides on which shampoos are provided in hotel showers?
If you have misguided lefty acquaintances tell them that Finland, Sweden and Norway all recently banned transing kids.
Lefties hold the healthcare systems of these countries in high regard, which motivates them to engage in thoughtful study rather than dismissive attitudes like “na-na-na, can’t hear ya.”
That Texas Democrat who voted for banning transing children explained in her letter that she came to her decision after studying Scandinavian practices.
Thank God you have access to his actual thinking and beliefs. Have you discussed this with him recently? Or did Don Jr. tell you.
If the issue was actually important to Trump, which it is not, he could easily put out the order to not carry Bud Light at his hotels.
If you do not believe Trump can focus on the trivial details when he wants, then you do not know Trump.
His actions speak for themselves.
Rats disgust me. They should have their citizenship downgraded to subjects with no voting rights.
It’s only fair since that’s what they’ve done to conservatives by stealing elections and intimidating Americans. May their stay in hell be long and painful.
