I legitimately don't understand why these groups exist. It's clear the GOP platform is antithetical to their very existence. And yet, they expect to be treated as equals by the party explicitly not wanting that.
A lot of it is just blindly going against peer pressure to be on the left, I think. Which is usually dumber than blindly following the crowd, which is already pretty dumb.
Some are absolutely those anti-everything types, but I think most Republicans are just single issue voters with big blinders on so I expect they're probably the same.
"Well...... Yeah...... They want me dead.......
BUT IF WE DON'T VOTE FOR THEM YOUR DOOR WILL BE KICKED IN TOMORROW TO TAKE YOUR GUNS"
It reminds me of when Trump won his first election by saying he'd protect the LGB, but then did something that was against their interests. A logcabin republican spoke out about it, and was met with "shut up [homophobic f-word]"
