Well that's the thing: nobody's disparaging them for growing. It's great that they finally saw trans people as people. Wonderful for them. But they're LIFE-LONG Republicans. They sat through Nixon, Reagan, both Bushes, and Trump as president. All the while, their party just got shittier and more full of bigoted people. They watched the rise of right-wing talk radio, with horrendous humans like Rush Limbaugh and Glenn Beck spewing their vitriol in the name of the party, and they remained. They watched the Tea Party hold up signs decrying Obama as a monkey, or a muslim, signs calling for the hanging of Obama, and they remained. They watched Trump try to overthrow democracy as hundreds of terrorists committed violence at his bidding, and they remained.
Now, they're finally deciding to leave the party because the bigotry they supported all along suddenly became turned their way. Fuck them. I'm not disparaging them for growing. I'm disparaging them for being pieces of shit.
