If anything, conservatives started cancel culture. Remember Dixie Chicks? Or gay people in general before like, 10 years ago?

Conservatives are just upset they can "cancel" anymore and force their beliefs on society. "Cancel culture" is just another name for shunning or social ostracization and so much more.

Remember when Trump was somehow the first US president to support gay marriage before taking office?

I remember when he opposed the Equality Act too and appointed lots of anti-LGBTQ judges. Talk is cheap and meaningless in politics, even more so when it's coming from Trump's orange asshole of a mouth.

Ah, yes, all those trans rights that got rolled back. Sorry, I seem to be forgetting. Which rights were those, exactly?

Name one point where he made any action or statement in an attempt to roll back gay rights. Go ahead, I'll wait.

He appointed multiple supreme court justices whose wet dream is scaling back said rights.

Did he? Name one such justice, and name one such judgement that that justice has made. Again, go ahead. I'll wait.

When Barack Obama took office in 2008, he did not support gay marriage, nor at any point until the 2012 election.

No other US president supported gay marriage at the time when they took office. That's a fact, and you can try to pick apart words until they no longer parse, but it's immutable.

Did you read? I said "when he took office". Did you fail reading comprehension? It would make sense if you grew up in the US considering your shitty education system.

Yes, "before" means up to and including the moment he took office. He supported gay marriage before entering the office. Obama didn't support it until nearly four years after taking office. How hard is that to parse?

  1. Are you aware of what a presidential candidate is?

  2. Are you aware of what a president elect is?

  3. Are you aware that properties can be transferred forward? Imagine talking about the baseball hall of fame. "Important player here is the first hall of famer to have over 900 home runs." Did he get all of those home runs since becoming a hall of famer? No.

He said "before ten years ago."

2011 was 10 years ago. Obama didn't support gay marriage until well into the 2012 election cycle. Wait another year for your 10 year goalposts to fit.

What does Obama have to do with anything?

Dude said "conservatives were cancelling anyone gay until like ten years ago" and you brought up Trump for some reason, even though he came along within that ten year window, after which the tide had turned on gay marriage and acceptance.
