For many Democrats, there is one political issue and only one: Trump. He is the beginning, the middle and end. They demand every discussion of everything place him at the center. And the outcome is demented behavior like support for Liz Cheney:

So many liberal media stars are in full-on propaganda mode to generate affection and sympathy for Liz Cheney. @Yamiche makes no mention of her defense of torture or other things that would enrage liberals (abortion opposition) but highlights this shtick:

Which of these national politicians was the first to publicly advocate marriage equality for gay men and lesbians?

As a follow up: which of these national politicians was the last to publicly advocate marriage equality for gay men and lesbians? 🌈

Hint for those struggling:

Answer to the above poll question:

The first of the 4 to advocate for gay and lesbian marriage equality was Dick Cheney (2000, 2004, 2009).

The second was Joe Biden (May, 2012).

The third was Obama (days after Biden).

The last was Hillary Clinton (March, 2013). 🌈

Despite being last -- not just of these 4 but among the last national Democrats -- Hillary's 2016 campaign produced ads depicting her as some sort of courageous pioneer in the fight for marriage equality.

"That's our gal!" 🏳️‍🌈

Many saying Dick Cheney "only" was first because his daughter is gay:

1) It's good when people's life experiences fosters empathy.

2) Liz Cheney used anti-gay themes in 2013 to win even though her sister is gay.

3) Dick, despite marriage equality support, is a war criminal.
