You make a valid point that the witch hunt and hateful remarks are backfiring. You aren't alone in that opinion. Several commentators on the left have warned of the same thing. I do have to ask, why do you believe they haven't charged him with insurrection or even incitement if they believe there is a strong case? As for oppression of the gay and alternative lifestyle community, what has Trump done or said that would lead you to believe this? Is his choice in VP the only reason?
