Red avvie logic - "well, he'd probably round up the gays and throw them into camps but at least we'd get a new pupusa restaurant!"
Pupusas?
My point is red avvies think intense homophobia and a worldview that would fit in well in Ugandan megachurches is less of a deal breaker than strict immigration policies. Disgusting but not surprising.
Gay Marriage is constitutionally protected and it would take a Piece of legislation to get ER’s abortion law passed meaning you would need 60 votes for it . On the other hand Shaula’s immigration policies can be implemented with a stroke of a pen .
Also keep in mind that ER is very much a traditional conservative in how he values the constitution and institutions as well
