In reply to the discussion: Buttigieg plays the religion card [View all]gtar100
(4,192 posts)34. I think there are some republicans who are reasonable enough
when it comes to issues such as race and homophobia. I just spent a few days with some people last week who are conservative republicans but definitely not racist and they said nothing about LGBT issues. They were kind to strangers of different stripes and talked of many things, the least being anything political. I could see some of them being open to Mayor Pete and his ideas.
But some of them may still, as you said in another post, have voted for the racist currently occupying the White House. My guess it was simply because they identify as republican and on principle vote that way regardless of the actual person with the "R" behind their name. Our two-party system doesn't really reflect who we really are as a community of people.
