...for "moving past this issue" and accepting same-sex marriage or whatever the hell those idiotic claims were. Most of these Republicans never supported it. They never were in favor of it. They simply stopped complaining about it as much publicly once they realized a majority was okay with it. Republicans were the ones trying to enshrine discrimination against same-sex marriage in state constitutions just a couple of decades ago! They didn't move past it, they simply kept their feelings to themselves -- *grumble grumble cancel culture, grumble grumble everyone is too PC, blah blah* -- until they secured the power to do what they always wanted, and that is to relegate the LGBT community to permanent second class citizen status.

Good job to those useful idiots on the extreme left that didn't see this coming when they were warned about this sort of shit in 2016 as well.
