Most people don’t have confidence that a Ron DeSantis presidency would benefit LGBTQ+ people, but he still inspires more faith than most other Republican candidates.
That’s the finding of a new poll from The Economist and YouGov.
In a survey of 1,500 adult citizens conducted between Sunday and Tuesday, just 8% of respondents say lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people would be better off under DeSantis.
The poll reveals a gender gap. While 12% of men believe DeSantis would benefit LGBTQ+ people as President, only 4% of women feel the same way.
Meanwhile, 40% of respondents believe LGBTQ+ people would be worse off, with 24% saying things would be no different and 28% saying they aren’t sure.
Republicans, conservatives and people who voted for Donald Trump in 2020 were less convinced DeSantis would be bad for LGBTQ+ people. The poll found 13% of Republicans and 14% of conservatives and Trump voters said they would be better off, against 17% of Republicans, 16% of conservatives and 15% of Trump voters who said the opposite.
The polling was in the field during the tail end of a news cycle in which DeSantis’ campaign circulated a “Pride Month” video that painted Trump as too accommodating to LGBTQ+ people. The clip, which was deleted eventually by the creator, included various edgelord-style memes and motifs, including favorable representations of Christian Bale performing as the serial killer Patrick Bateman in the film “American Psycho” and Brad Pitt playing Achilles in “Troy.”
“I think identifying Donald Trump as really being a pioneer in injecting gender ideology into the mainstream, where he was having men compete against women in his beauty pageants, I think that’s totally fair game,” DeSantis said in defense of the video on an episode of Tomi Lahren is Fearless on Outkick.
Trump performs best out of all 2024 Republicans in this survey, with 12% of respondents saying LGBTQ+ people would be better off were he President. More Republicans, conservatives and 2020 Trump voters think LGBTQ+ people would be better off than not if Trump wins a second term in 2024.
Some other Republicans are regarded more skeptically on LGBTQ+ issues than Trump or DeSantis.
While Nikki Haley ties DeSantis, with 8% believing she’d be a boon for LGBTQ+ people, everyone else polls at least marginally worse, including Chris Christie and Mike Pence (7%), Tim Scott (6%), Larry Elder and Vivek Ramaswamy (5%), Will Hurd, Asa Hutchinson and Francis Suarez (4%), and Doug Burgum (3%).

Please. Pudgy fascist Ron DeSantis would have the entire LGBTQ population permanently eliminated if he could get away with it.
Makes you wonder just why he hates and fears them so much. Well, them and black and brown people, that is.

Working part-time, I earn almost $15,500 USD every month. I listened to numerous individuals telling me how much money they could earn on the web, so I’m still trying to figure it out. It did, indeed, become all real, and it completely changed my life. Everyone should try this job right now.

Poll: 8% of Americans think LGBTQ+ people would be killed or at least sent off to re-education camps during Ron DeSantis presidency, and, these 8% feel, being “straightened” out (or killed) would make the LGBTQ+ folks better off.

DeSantis capitalizes on the homophobic sentiment among the religious whackos and far right trolls which is increasingly becoming linked. Nobody is steering the GOP train to hell. Everyone just exploiting and manipulating one another for some kind of gain. Jesus would not be happy. Many Trump supporters gonna burn in hell.🔥

DeSantis is basically a Twitter ghoul who appeals to the many ghouls who live and breathe on that dying platform.
Anyone notice how much calmer things seem lately? That’s because you’re seeing a lot less of Ben Shitpiro, Michael Knowles, Daily Wire, Tucker Carlson, and the poison that often floods our attention spans. It’s because Twitter is now walled-off from non-members and content can’t be as easily shared.
That’s who DeSantis appeals to. That’s his audience. Do we really want click-for-hate grifters governing a major superpower? It’s time we speak up louder against these maniacs.

Fun fact:
There is no such thing as the “Freedom State of Florida”…….Republicans call freedom “FREEDUMB” …… because they understand some Americans don’t know the difference!

Please explain the logic of using “+” after LGBTQ? Why not just use L+ or LQ+ or LQB+? Conventional writing style would add “etc” after three nouns. It would be improper to use “etc” after five nouns. Who or what decided to use “+” after five letters?

It was me. I apologize for your discomfort. With one more letter being added every 20 years or so since the 1860s, the letters sure piled up fast didn’t they.

I thought “+” was to indicate that folks can be more than one of the letters. Either that, or “+” is for poly?

Good afternoon America,
In this “my 15 minutes of fame society” which we live in it would seem the LGBTQ Folks are better off because LGBTQ is always trending in social media along with govornment controlled media. So if thats your idea of better off….enjoy.
Truth be told everything and everyone remotly related to LGBTQ are “political pawns of convience” to the Democratic Party.
Once LGBTQ stops being usefull or a means to an end for the Democratic Party LGBTQ will be dropped like its hot.
Ron Desantis values all people for who they are. LGBTQ will not be a flavor of the day for Desantis.
Thank you America,

……Oh and BTW hate to burst anyone’s pretty colorfull glitter filled balloon….BUT……Disney you ask?
Same story as the Democratic Party. Once LGBTQ usefulness has passed…
same result: Disney will drop LGBTQ like its hot.
Stick with Desantis people are not a means to an end with Desantis.
Thank you America,

Thank you Biscuit,
Your continued support means so much to me, Earl Pitts American.
Have you received my “Earl Pitts American Fan Club Member On Board” bumper sticker to proudly slap on the back of your Subaru SUV yet?
Most Subaru Hatchbacks are loaded with wall-to-wall bumper stickers. So just to make your life easier I, Earl Pitts American, would appriciate it if you put my bumper sticker right on top of your Obama-Biden bumper sticker. Or your Hillary bumper sticker.
Much love Biscuit,

I know a little bit about that and will be glad to share:
Words in all caps – can do it.
A string of words in all caps – will do it.
Certian bad words, like words you would not say to your G.Mom when you were a kid because she would smack you – can do it.
As a side bar: often when you see a bad word – you will wonder how such a bad word got past the auto bot system. Often the word that looks bad is not in a format the auto bot can see.
Example: HeII
You know what you see – however – what the auto bot sees is cap H, lower case e, followed by two upper case letter i’s…not in auto bot’s program list of banned words.
If you go too far too often along with the use of way too disgusting fake bad words which auto bot cant see then someone will complain and the humans will come after you.
Also look at the symbols in your selection.
Examples which can fill in the place of a letter to cloak an otherwise banned word:
@ # $ € £ ¥ ₩ ¤ ○
With most of those symbols the eye tells the human brain the bad word but auto bot is blind to that bad word.
Again if you over do it or get too nasty the humans will get you.

Thanks!
An occasional all-cap (because we don’t have bold or italic for emphasis).
Occasional exclamation points.
Other than that, nothing.
Except possibly moderate length.

These 8%ers are the same as those who claim that chattel black slaves in America–multigenerational captive, abused, beaten, raped, resold and separated from family, abandoned when aged to starve–were better off than had they remained natives in Africa.

Good afternoon My Take,
It’s not America My Take,
It was America and the entire 8ffin world…and its still going on in China. But America and most civilized nations stopped it many years ago.

Hint.
When not subjunctive (mood, tense, case?), “were” is past tense.

One is also reminded of the now-deceased, formerly resigned, Hitler Youth pope who thought the the slaughtered and enslaved native population of the Americas had secretly wishèd for their European oppressors and enslavers. . to bring them Jesus.

Children, married couples, single straights, and all others would benefit from which candidate? I’m fed up with all this attention towards the LGBTQ community, it’s like the crime around the country, I’m tired of hearing about it in the news since even before Obama signed the same-sex marriage…No one should benefit more than others and equal attention to your supporters…
Dont Say FLA
July 14, 2023 at 2:51 pm
You are correct that no one should benefit more than others That is precisely the reason Obama signed the same-sex marriage. Marriage was a “benefit” only for different-sex couples, so Obama granted the same right, marriage, to same-sex couples. Understand?
