      Absolutely correct, and a great example of this is Ernst Röhm, leader of the SA or “brownshirts” and one of Hitler’s right hand men, who was pretty openly gay, but which was ignored and downplayed by Hitler himself. He was a Nazi first and gay second, as absurd as that sounds.

      Yep and this may partially be why I think focusing on the identities of voters and demographics has resulted in less and less support for Democrats over time.

      In the end there’s really two demographics that matter: rich, power hungry assholes, and the rest of us that don’t collectively add up to a fraction of a percentage of their power or net worth.
