The majority of conservatives believe the democrats are wasting trillions of dollars on wars, inflating debt to give trillions to their corporate and banker friends, spending billions on foreign aid, "woke" education, and fraudulent welfare. This majority gets lumped together with the anti-LGBTQ and anti-immigrant people because they believe that a lot of this wasteful spending is going towards these communities and their needs. If you removed their concerns about this spending, the remaining people who are still against LGBTQ/immigrant/welfare policies would be a small fringe group. The vast majority of conservatives do not intrinsically hate the LGBTQ/immigrant/welfare community, it's only to the extent that the former believes the latter is taking resources from them. All of this hatred stems from fear, the fear that you won't have food, shelter, or healthcare causes people to lash out at others that they perceive are causing these deficiencies. The spin job that the elite class does is to argue that the bankers and CEOs are actually creating jobs and wealth, and the fault rests with those low-life poors/immigrants/socialists that are consuming more than they've earned. At its core, this is all about wealth and resource disparity. |

Politics is a complicated game that is easily lost over misjudged nuances. LGBTQ is different from immigrant/welfare and that's not even a nuance, the difference is fundamental.
It's the Democratic party that made LGBTQ a core and sore issue, knowing full well that it will undermine the rest of the left agenda and mislead their base to the point of blindness.
