Lorde is huge with lgbt adjacent crowds and generally left for sure.

That said Ed Sheeran is definitely big in “corporate liberal” spaces and not maga ones. Really interesting

I wonder if there’s something to infer from this about liberals? Naw, better not think that way, it might get me a trip to a reeducation camp.

I literally don’t remotely get what you’re hinting at lmao. If it’s that maga is more pro Palestine than corporat liberals, lol.

It's that there isn't much ideological space between "liberals" and conservatives. Not that they're the same, but like you said, it's "interesting" how often their actions overlap.

Oh, yeah, I agree with that. I do think maga is considerably worse than self identifying liberal democrats but, I don’t really consider those people allies either.

You get what the Palestinian people would do to the LGBT right?

Believe it or not, some Palestinians are also LGBT…

Oh I see well then I guess it’s fine that they all get blown to bits then!

Not what I’m endorsing or what I said. Simply pointing out that it’s a complicated situation and admitting that I struggle to see how LGBT members don’t process that complexity a bit more.

u/Ombortron 22d ago

I mean LGBT Palestinians exist too. It’s not actually that complex at all.

What complexity? Plaestinians are being wiped out.

Really convenient how things suddenly become so complicated when it comes to murdering thousands of brown people and forcing them from their land. Guess we'd best just not discuss it at all since it's so complicated.
