What's there to explain? Republicans in power often have a problem with gays, have a problem with black folks, have a problem with mexicans, have a problem with women being in power, and just seem to have a problem with any sort of social progression and actively campaign against it. Tradition over progression seems to be a staple campaign podium for them to preach from. I mean, look at it realistically, isn't 'idyllic 1950's americana' what many republicans seem to be striving for? a time when women, gays, and blacks were all considered second class citizens. |
Aside from conflating Republicans with the right, (establishment Republicans fully subscribe to the left's worldview, and haven't done anything to push back leftism for 60 years,) your mistake is in believing that "progression" is inherently good regardless of the circumstances. Would it be a good thing if we legalized pedophilia, an oppressed and marginalized sexual orientation, for example?
