Oof, this is sad and horrible on multiple levels. But boy, the level of self-delusion involved to think that any of the MAGAts might help her (and not make her life worse now that attention has been drawn) is really something. (But I guess if she was already at the point where she was willing to break the law to help put people in power who want to destroy her…)
Remember when Trump was first running for office, and he made a big deal about how he was going to protect the lgbt (from teh evil Muslims)? It was clearly disingenuous, and he immediately reversed himself, once he was in power and it became clear what his reactionary backers wanted, but I could see how, in that earlier moment, some queer conservatives would be desperate enough to believe him. (I get serious whiplash thinking about how quickly Trump went from his “I’ll protect you lgbt from teh evil Muslims!” to his fellow MAGAts in power overtly saying, “We’ll protect you Muslims from teh evil lgbt!”)
