One of the strangest things about the Foley scandal is how it’s supposedly unearthed the fact that there are many, many gay people in the Republican party. It’s like that John Carpenter film “They Live!” where Roddy Piper puts on the special sunglasses for the first time and can see which humans are aliens and which ones are…well, humans.
And it’s fucking bizarre. First off, they act like being Republican and gay can’t be mutually exclusive. However, last time I checked, being gay or Republican weren’t exclusive to gender, race, or sexual orientation. We all like to think of it as the party of the rich white guy (and for the most part, kinda hit the nail on the head), but doing so is inherently dishonest.
But for so many groups to suddenly be stymied by the fact that there very well may be gay people in the world, and they may very well want to vote Republican, kinda makes you wonder where in the hell these people have been for the past decade (dry-humping a young boy in a Southern Baptist church doesn’t count).
If anything, they should be taken aback by the fact that overall, a fair portion of people are willing to work for a cause that seems to revile them and isn’t above using them as a political wedge to divide voters and rally idiots to their political cause. Granted, most people will overlook almost anything if the pay is good enough, and I can understand the mentality behind that, but I’d find it incredibly hard to keep my composure in such an environment.
But who knows? Maybe Tucker Carlson’s little revelation goes further than we thought, and in reality most Republicans could give a flying fuck about who does what to whom with what, just as long as they say all the right things to make the religious loonies cream their jeans.
Sort of like the violent guy that slaps around his wife/girlfriend and then comes back five minutes later to say that he didn’t really mean it.
