I don't personally approve of some of the stuff this fellow did, and most of it is just disagreeable or not my cup of tea. But it sure isn't worth the man's life. What a shame he ended up killing himself.

Sad. But maybe now he’ll have peace.

He should be out, loud and proud. This comes from deep seeded bigotry

All Republicans are hypocritical bigots, by definition. It's the core of their political party, it's who they signed up to be identified with, it's who they are, or in the case of this poor bigoted fuck, were. I don't want to see any "but this was a nice republican" bullshit. After the Southern Strategy in 1964, all Republicans are trash, every single one.

Institutionalized racism, misogyny, homophobia, and white Christian separatism as party platform. No matter how "conservative" Republicans claimed to be, The Southern Strategy was the core value and singular driving force for the past 60 years. MAGA isn't a symptom, it's result.

This is really fucking sad. A man who should have been able to express his true self but couldn't because of the twisted shackles of religion that led to his own death. Fuck religion.

Pro-life crowd bullying other people into suicide is very funny indeed

[–] snausagesinablanket@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago

GOP exposed.

[–] Son_of_dad@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago (7 children)

Guess he didn't really believe in his religion since suicide is a big no no.

Imagine taking your own life over this shit because your devotion to right wing identity politics supercedes your self-determination.
