A friend of mine (gay man from San Francisco) predicted that a lot of gay white men in California are ripe for conversion to Republicanism now that marriage equality is guaranteed. If the GOP manages to sufficiently distance itself from all the gay-bashing it did over the last 40 years, there are a lot of short-sighted rich gay men primed some good ol' FYGM.

Never forget that pretty much all republicans think that "the republicans are right except for [issue that affects me personally]."

You know, libertarians who think they're right, except they smoke pot. Or old people who think they're right except about ending social security. People are remarkably good at deluding themselves.

I read a study or article or something somewhere that pointed out that blacks and latinos tend to match up with republicans value-wise and the only thing keeping them from aligning themselves with the GOP is the GOP's own masturbatory hatred of The Other.

To be clear this was talking about claimed values, not the republicans' actual values of "starve the poor and make them pay for the privilege"

Once Trump inevitably loses Mike Pence will be unable to complete the process of entering our universe from the hell plane and will revert from his current almost-corporeal state back into the barely visible ghost entity he was previously and everyone will forget any of this happened or that there ever was a Mike Pence

Yeah, there was an article by Ta-Nehisi Coates where he specifically noted that there are a shitload of black conservatives who love the bootstraps narrative and small government, but want nothing to do with the party of the Klan.
E: This one.

quote:

When political strategists argue that the Republican Party is missing a huge chance to court the black community, they are thinking of this mostly male bloc—the old guy in the barbershop, the grizzled Pop Warner coach, the retired Vietnam vet, the drunk uncle at the family reunion. He votes Democratic, not out of any love for abortion rights or progressive taxation, but because he feels—in fact, he knows—that the modern-day GOP draws on the support of people who hate him. This is the audience that flocks to Cosby: culturally conservative black Americans who are convinced that integration, and to some extent the entire liberal dream, robbed them of their natural defenses.

FYGM sells conservatism a bit short. It implies a kind of indifference to others, who may or may not have got theirs, but that's just neutral, centrist stuff.

True conservatism is more like, "gently caress You, I'll See To It That You Get Nothing."

They’re coming. It looks like I’m not going to use a print on demand service for them, but actually do a limited print run that I’ll hand-mail. I need to lay out a new cover file for it this week and I should be on my way to getting a proof copy at that point.

The Sigil Editions are currently what’s a bit hosed. My source for the dot matrix printing fell through, and I haven’t found one. It not exactly being a standard service.

Gay conservatives are why the big gay rights issue was same sex marriage and not queer homeless youth or transwomen being press ganged into sex work.
