How does the "Right" EVER AGAIN consider itself the party of family values?

Does anyone remember...oh over the past two years...the gay marriage battles? Gee how many thousands of times did we hear from the right about "traditional family values" and protecting "the sanctity of marriage?"

And now? Now these same exact people back Trump regardless. A thrice married, twice divorced adulterer. A man who uses his celebrity and wealth to willfully push his advances on both married and unmarried women. A man who jokes about sexual abusing women. The man has no family values at all. The man is perverse. He even jokes endlessly about how "hot" his daughter is, how she is a "great piece of ass", and how if she wasn't his daughter he'd be dating her. That is disgusting. And yet from the right? They still support Trump. They are hypocrites and liars.

One male, one female, and as many offspring as "God" decides to bestow upon them.

Fuck that idea on 10,000,000 levels.

Tony Perkins - family values guy - white supremist - anti-gay nut case - followed by Southern Poverty Law Council, under HATE Watch....hypocrites, racists, misogynist - as well as Bannon and Conway - members of CNP...

growing up in Massachusetts, our family values consisted of doing the most good for the most people..we sure did have our bad days, back in the days of integration and busing, made by a few bad apples..but overall, we value the dignity of ALL ...I did hear that Norfolk county is the most liberal county..as though liberal is a dirty word - okay - I'm a liberal....

They are damaging the GOP brand with the next generation of voters in the name of courting old racists.

Adams or organized crime. Serious, every bill they have came up with is to destroy families. Financially, educational, health. This country has a infant mortality rate of a third world country. We work more hours with less benfits.

That's how RWers will continue to claim they represent family values.

In other words, nothing has changed.
