“Oh, honey, I understand your concern but… well, god uses imperfect men to enact his will. See, Joe Biden is actively calling for these people to have rights. Trump ain’t perfect, but he already banned them trans people from being in the military. Joe put them right back in there.
See, Trump isn’t perfect. He’s a sinner. He’s doing more Jesus work than Biden though. With Trump we’ll have a pure and godly nation again one day if it isn’t already too late.”
It’s not that simple, though. Yeah, those reactions will be there, large portions of MAGAts are already indoctrinated for that, but with the right messaging in the right places, some people will get mad and at least stay home. No group is homogenous, and I think this has potential to eat into a significant portion of his ravenous base. The messaging has to look like it’s coming from their own, a kind of “Trump betrayed us to get in with the liberal elites” narrative. Throw in some pics of men kissing and Trump rubbing elbows with the Clintons. It’s all about hitting the emotional weak spots and diverting some people here, some people there, into a new narrative. Whether a good long shower afterward will wash away the dirty feeling is another matter.
So how do we use this to lose him the homophobe vote? That’s gotta be more votes lost than gained.

He won’t lose the homophobe vote.
