There is some magical thinking going on...

[DemocratSinceBirth]

The notion that Drumpf and the Deplorables are going to restrict the rights of Muslims, inner city residents, and Hispanics and leave our glbtq brothers and sisters alone is freaking fanciful.

We are all in this together.

4. also, there are Muslim LGBTQ people and Black LGBTQ people and Undocumented LGBTQ people

LGBTQ are not all rich, male, white, & urban.

6. If there is one thing I admire about the glbtq Americans...

It's that they are organized, vocal, and determined to stand up and demand change.

I will stand up for them, and any other group, if they will stand for me!

Stronger Together!

7. Well this GLBT person has NO ILLUSIONS about Trump being friendly to my community

no matter how much he's photographed with that snake Peter Thiel.

AND even if he left GLBT rights alone (which is not possible given his likely SCOTUS picks) I STILL would not let up on him for a second. I will never abandon the rights of women, AAs, Latinos, Native Americans, Muslims, etc. (not to mention that GLBT people also belong to all of the foregoing groups, of course, so you can't really separate one set of rights from another).

If that makes me a follower of outdated 'identity politics', so fucking be it. Solidarity.

8. Is this kind of thinking going on here at DU?

I don't get to read every post, so that's why I'm asking.
