    Queer people voting for conservative politicians will never cease to amaze me. I discovered a queer acquaintance who I had friended on Instagram was following Trump, Pierre Polievre, and that insane Randy Hillier, which shocked me. Why would you do that? They hate queer people.

      Because they’re not single issue voters, would be the rational explanation. But probably they also haven’t bothered to reasonably research who has what agenda. If you’re into politics, it can come as a surprise, but many people really don’t want to know anything about it, and they work hard to learn as little as possible.

      I’m not blaming them for developing a strong dislike to politics, considering how dirty almost everyone is, but I hope that people can realize that ignoring a thing you don’t like doesn’t make it go away.
