There is a drive from within the LGBT community that are for Republicans. Many will not tell even their closest friends, but in secret they vote Republican, like they did in 2016. Let’s remember what the Democrat party reflects: Bigger government, higher taxes (according to Joe Biden and Kamala Harris (who in fact said day one, your taxes would be increased.) How do you like Socialism now? But wait, there’s more. Socialized medicine, so you have to wait, just like they do in European Socialist countries. Some within the LGBT community, and outside as well, only vote Democrat, because they feel it is their obligation…and not on how this will benefit the nation as a whole. We saw failed attempts at the Obama Administration, which Biden was involved as VP. Remember the economy was so bad in 2012, that overtime was cut, and people were forced to work two jobs to make ends meet. If you thought that was bad, just pray Trump wins on Nov. 3. Your future and the future of your children depend on it. It will be either a country as you have it today, or tyranny run by the few to dictate to the masses.
