Maybe having served in Iraq, he should have learned how a mistake is sometimes just a mistake and to know how to change your course of action once it turns out to be a mistake.
Or maybe he just learned how to live in denial, and put a positive spin on a nightmarish clusterfuck. Mission Accomplished!

He went to what was essentially a white supremacist rally and was shocked to meet white supremacists.

“They shouted ‘nr’ and ‘ft’ at me to make their point. However, I served in Iraq. I never back down. Ever.”
I don't understand this take. Because he served in the military, he won't stop being allies with people even when they attack him and call him hateful slurs?
I don't think I've ever heard the "I served in Iraq, so I'm a doormat" argument before...

Why in the hell would a gay black man be a Republican?
Attention? Self-loathing? Money? There are options. No good ones, but they're there.
Not so much that last one. Nobody that's not already ridiculously wealthy (like 0.1% wealthy) is going to profit under the GOP, it's just a question of how far back in the queue you are to get fleeced. All their policies are based around concentrating all the nations wealth into as few hands as possible. It's why the GOP has such a love affair with Russia of late, they want to emulate Putin and his oligarch minions.

Maybe he's racist against immigrants? Alternatively, maybe he's hoping that they'll care more about him being a fellow rich person (if he is in fact rich) than about his gay blackness (they don't).

Last job, the gay Hispanic receptionist was a Trump man. My Philippina wife was too. Past tense, once I showed her a few things. She had only seen Fox News in her 2-years in America.
This guy? Fuck is his excuse?!

Shit, is there a Leopards Eating Faces community yet? If not, this would be a prime contender for the first post.

"Guys, I am so shocked and offended and hurt that I would be called racial and homophobic slurs while speaking at the racist, homophobic convention. I thought being a Republican would make me one of the good ones to them! why isnt it making me one of the good ones to them!"

Zero sympathy. You ride with fascists, this is what happens.
Why on earth would a gay man want to be a Republican? Just seems like a conflict of interest...
gullibility combined with personality traits like "i never back down because i was in a wrong and illegal war started by the party of criminals who want to kill me and everyone like me" could be one reason, I think.
maybe he just really hates poor people.

Some people are richer than they are gay.
Based on the one I know, toxic upbringing, dumb as rocks, and completely unemphatic to anyone else. I was stuck in a car with one that's a family friend for 25 hours. He's managed to survive, so why can't all the other lgbts just suck it up is probably the unspoken thought he has. When he was complaining that the Metrosexuals messed up his ability to find other gay people, I told him I haven't heard anyone use that term in years. He was also convinced that his boyfriend is hiding that fact that he works as at a porn store and that's going to get him fired from his job as an... Pianist/Organist for the Catholic Church. I try to avoid him.

What kind of battle over cognitive dissonance must people like this face?..
Dude must have an Olympic gold metal for mental gymnastics...
Money. It's the answer. Money.
here in germany, we have a politician who is in the AfD (a right-wing party, where many members are literally Nazis).
and he is an immigrant, talking about how we should stop immigration. he only gets accepted in there because he is as bigoted as them.
i know it has little to do with this post, but i got reminded of this story by it.
Trump claims immigrants are "poisoning the blood of this country." His wife, ex-wife, and mother are immigrants...

The leopard ate his face.
It is UNFAIR to expect me to know/accept that the Leopards Eating Faces Party would eat MY face
Breaking news: Face-eating leopard advocate gets face eaten by leopards
"I'm going to eat you."
He just tells it like it is!
Leopards and Faces come to mind here.
Black and gay? I'm just confused. Didn't you get the memo that these are the two things Republicans hate the most?

I mean, I'm not sure what he expected.
Surprised they didn't mock him for his military service too!
"i don't understand why these leopards that I voted for are eating my face."
-Black, gay Trump supporter Rob Smith
However, I served in Iraq. I never back down. Ever.
He is like that dude from Saw who cut off his leg to get free, but the chain hasn't been actaully connected to anything but him. And as a war-forged vet, he promise he'd cut another one just to keep grifting. If something, that scandal only upped his media visibility, and there would be lots of people curious wtf he even is, and to bait him with slurs as he does react on them. Hold it, his stonks bag says, hold it, as you can always run safe at a short notice. Next it would be flying bottles and he'd still think he can earn a little more before quiting. It's not safe to be a career hypocrite.

*pikachu face*
How can anyone be that stupid? Of course, he is free to support Trump, but this is not the wisest move, not for anybody, but especially not for anyone who is not exactly white supremacist recruting material...

This should surprise nobody.
The only logical solution here is to double down on his beliefs.
Dear Rob Smith: Pick up the clue phone on line one. It's been ringing off the hook since you got here.
Knowing when to quit a battle is a virtue, not a failure.
He is so dumb to support Trump. But so are all Trump supporters, anyway.

I'd say this is the wrong Community, because racist homophobes being racist and homophobic isn't really news, but I don't think there's a c/whatthefuckdidyouthinkwouldhappenyoudick Community.
