Why do people care?

Because the right is constantly being self-righteous while attacking people for being queer. If those same puritan-minded people who want to criminalize LGBTQ+ people also fuck couches for fun, everyone deserves to know about it. They don’t stay out of our personal lives, why the fuck should I afford them any privacy? They don’t respect our humanity, why should I respect their dignity just because couch-fucking is victimless?

They’re the party of “family values”, let’s put their party position under the microscope.

it also makes opposition dependent on criticizing a person - something that recently fucked up Republicans themselves as Biden stepped down.

The mistake Republicans made wasn’t in standing against Biden, it was in failing to stand for anything else. If J.D. Vance drops out of the election, I am not going to be out of political ammunition. In fact, J.D. Vance should and probably will drop out and I’m not worried about if he does, because Trump isn’t going to choose a good running mate no matter what.

In fact, changing the running mate after the RNC destroys their argument that it is somehow improper for Democrats to change their nominee before the DNC, so while they play checkers, we’re playing chess.
