It's not religion that is driving the resurgent moral panic about LBGTQ people in the USA. You don't get a 15% shift beliefs in a year due to growing religious sentiment.

It's cynical opportunists trying to ride to power on populist sentiment by delegating and demonizing an outgroup.

Fuck every one of them.

I am legit baffled about the decline in acceptance among democrats. Any ideas what is going on here?

I always figure that ~5% of people in any public poll with party ID simply aren’t categorized meaningfully — “Democrats” who voted for Trump both times, “Independents” who will never not vote for the marijuana legalization party candidate, people who have no contact with the news or public discourse and live in their apartment filled with nothing but collectible plates and pet rabbits, etc.

@inthehands @ct_bergstrom This, plus people who lie to pollsters (particularly about party ID) for lulz.
