Wiz Imp

37. This is one of the most offensive things he's ever said.

To claim he did well with LGBTQ voters because of playing YMCA, implies LQBTQ people don't care about policies, but can be fooled into voting for him just because of a song he plays? A song that I'm sure large numbers of LGBTQ voters hate (just like large numbers of non-LGBTQ voters). That is so offensive it makes me sick.

It's also a lie. He received only 12% of the LGBTQ vote in 2024, a significantly lower percentage than 2020 and 2016. The lowest percentage for a Republican in the last 5 elections (and possibly more).

Former President Donald Trump defeated Vice President Kamala Harris to become the next U.S. president, NBC News projected, but he didn’t do so with the help of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender voters.

LGBT voters shifted even more solidly into the Democratic camp this year, according to the NBC News Exit Poll. Harris led President-elect Trump 86% to 12% among LGBT voters, the poll found. That’s a 15-point change from 2020, when Trump won 27% of the LGBT vote against Biden.
