Republicans went from being the party against marriages and protection for gay people (in the early 2000s), to claiming "Trump is the most pro-gay president". Going from "roll coal to own the libs" to not caring would be a small change in comparison.

The pro-gay claim is not sincere. See Jean-Paul Sartre for more explanation.

Sartre said many things. What specifically are you referring to?

I'm not saying you're wrong, but anyone claiming that Trump is the greatest anything of all time is little more than brown-nosing. if you can point to serious policy change, that would support your argument more strongly

Is it? I think he's the greatest con man of all time. Certainly the most corrupt US president.

you're willfully misunderstanding. you may say that so am I, but the difference between your comment and mine is that I can add a couple of words to my comment and make yours irrelevant. for GP to fix the hole in their argument, they would have to find an entirely new valid piece of evidence.

The observation that Trump lies all the time will not become irrelevant as long as he's alive.

Almost every claim that he makes, or that his supporters make about him, is wildly untrue, and definitely the claim that he's "the most pro gay". That's one of those many hollow claims people make about him in order to sway a few people from a demographic that's going to be hurt by him.

But the fact that he keeps getting away with it does make him a great con man.

I think it was a lie to catch liberal strays: https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/republican-lawmakers-increas...

They've started with the T, but they'll get to the other letters eventually.

Eventually? They're already basically there: https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/idaho-republican-legislators...

Some have also been muttering about revisiting Lawrence v Texas (the Supreme Court decision which legalised homosexuality nationwide in the US in 2003).
