You should just read what the Republicans will do if Trump is reelected.
They've published their plans, and I want exactly zero of any of the "policy" they plan on implementing.

I bartend. I was working on Easter, and one of our semi regulars came in with a guy that she was obviously on a drink date with. They'd been at at least one other bar before they came in; they'd had a couple drinks, but weren't past maybe tipsy.
At one point, she mentioned that the reason the last place they'd been to was slow was likely that it happened to be Easter. At the mention of the word the guy interrupted with,
"I REFUSE TO TALK ABOUT ANY POLITICS OR RELIGION!!"
To me this was a sign that this dude cared very much about religion and politics, but just like how scientologists don't drop the Xenu shit on you right away, he wanted to wait until any prospective partner was in too deep before revealing how abhorrent his views are.
That regular isn't my favorite person, but I was proud of her for pretty much ending that date after that.
He asked that the state GOP revoke their endorsement of him. That's something.
His previous comments imply some internalized homophobia, but this recent line of rhetoric from the Colorado GOP is obviously eliminationist, and he seems to have realized it. Maybe it leads to him more closely examining his previous attitudes, maybe it doesn't.
I'm not saying he's like, a good dude. Just worth noting that he found a line he wouldn't cross.
