Is it November yet?
A Trump rally in Salem, Oregon turned predictably ghastly this Labor Day, as supporters carried automatic weapons around while speakers blasted the Republican agenda through megaphones. One speaker even compared LGBTQ people to pedophiles and called for the killing of Democratic politicians for supporting the community.

Videos from the rally went viral on social media, including a clip of the as-of-yet unidentified speaker addressing the queer “agenda.”
How about we take this to the next level?

"Democrats need to be shot dead" and other Q crap demonizing LGBTQ.

“We have said all this LGBT agenda has set us back,” he says, pacing the ground before a group of Trump supporters. “They told us we were crazy. They told us we were homophobic. But the God’s honest truth is, their pedophile agenda has been normalized. It is being pushed forward. I’m a goddamn man, but I think these Democratic leaders who allowed this to happen need to be shot dead in the streets.”
Predictably, the crowd erupts in cheers.
Despite repeated claims by the Trump campaign that he’s the most pro-queer President in American history, Trump’s record shows his administration has actually eroded LGBTQ rights nationwide. The Republican platform for the 2020 election also calls for a ban on same-sex marriages, and forbidding transgender people to serve in the military.

And these are people Trump is proud of having as his cult members. It’s the national republican nazi party.

This is who the Republican party is now. Anti-American and bigoted.

If Trump is voted out of the White house in november at least 2020 will have brought something good in the end….

A bunch of Q-Anon freaks.
Mister P
If he gets another term it will only get worse.
There are no “good republicans” if they support him they support this rhetoric.
Terrycloth
Even if the Orange guy gets re elected I dont think he will last his full second term…..year. maybe….i see his health, dementia getting worse or somebody will get him…
missvamp
but if he dies, we’re stuck with even more evangelical pence.

I wonder if the dipshit on the bullhorn realizes that these people hate you just as much. Every single Trump supporter I know it’s 100% about Racism.
You keep your we hate the same people routine though. Will see how far that gets you.
Toofie
Yeah, he has few fans in the Republican Party.

This is so true! What a FOOL and he’s black, but he doesn’t want others to hate him because he is black, The community that promotes violence and lawlessness and deviant perverted Hetro lifestyle. Hip Hop/Rap music s**t. I guess the LGBTQ community should aspire to be like these sinners. Right?
Toofie
Garbage people.

This is why EVERYONE needs to get out and vote. We did it with Obama, and lets do it again for Biden. Those Log Cabin Republicans don’t realize their party wants them dead. As for child predators majority of them are heterosexual perverts preying on kids and conservatives blame Gays.

And the black guy at the end spouts the worse stuff. So f ed up.

U whites are so racist
ShiningSex
any LGBT that supports Trump are just self-loathing, racist idiots.
Vote Democrat to get the idiot out of office or this will only get worse. If you vote third party, you’re just helping Trump. Don’t be stupid.

Wet works would help solve a lot this problem.
That’s all I’m going to say, because they deserve no more of my time.

It amazed me they were so angry at being called deplorable when they so obviously are! And the guy on the bullhorn having to state out loud he is a man, makes me think he protests too much. This QANON BUll SH*T is very dangerous because of their stupidity. It has been proven in dozens of studies at least two by the government itself that the vast majority of pedophiles self identify as straight so it is their sickness not ours. THey are glorifying violence as if that is how you argue. Only weak people resort to violence and their homophobia is a weak arguement
TommyIL
Not defending what he said in ANY way, but he was misquoted in the article. He says “But I’m a god-fearing man…” not “I’m a goddamn man.” He’s not pointing out that he’s a man but that what he’s about to say is reprehensible and he knows it. I agree with other commenters that he doesn’t have a lot of allies in that crowd.
Joshooeerr
That only makes him more disgusting.
amanwithanedge
blackguy calling for death of LGBT community is a sloppy pig bottom.
Martin Spikes
Shut it little gay KKK member
fredk
disgusting & disturbing. hate filled, ignorant and dangerous. just like the people in 1930’s berlin, germany. the republican hoo ha’s who need to blame others for their own personal failures are like the failed germans who needed a leader to tell them their failed lives were to be blamed on someone else.
MISTERJETT
those cheers are nothing compared to what will happen if something like that happened to trump. a worldwide holiday would be declared. party!!!!!!!!!
MISTERJETT
so this fool can’t have a problem when someone calls for the murder of black people.
Martin Spikes
Shut it u racist f@&&ot. BLM! GLM is shitter than me arse!
Martin Spikes
I mean the gay community have called for the killings of moral blacks, so their sexual immoral community can’t say shit
blue9
Really? Moral blacks ? Look who calling the kettle black! The black community definitely can’t say S**T ! You blacks just continue killing each other, as usual!!

Not much of a crowd… I can see a little over 20 participants.
