Their views of what constitutes a family and how immigration should work are both pretty conservative in the traditional sense. Their economic and foreign-policy positions might be a complete nightmare-show.

McCain shut down one of his supporters cold when they tried to bring up the conspiracy that Obama was “a secret Muslim trying to bring Sharia Law to the US” and asked him to do his eulogy. But on the other hand, even Obama didn’t support gay marriage at first.
- turtledove 4y agoWait, what are you saying about Bush? If there's one thing his admin is known for it's targeting Muslim Americans. But I'll agree, Dems still don't support gay marriage, pregnancy care, trans folks, etc. They just happen to be slightly better about it than Republicans are. Turns out being a minority in America is kinda a bad deal
