Standing up for what you believe in is tory enabling now, apparently.
Voting for parties who are pro minorities isn't tory enabling, it's sending a message to anti minority parties that they don't get support if they don't back minority rights and protections. The simpering folk who think UK labour showing up at pride with fancy t shirts is a sign they're pro minority are fools. Labour hasn't proved for a long time that it's on the side of LGBT+ people and I knew that if they didn't improve, it would become a wedge issue for me. Their desperation to appeal to knuckle draggers has sickened me, and those who have continued to say what they're doing is necessary fail to realise that their own inaction is what causes labour's foolish thought that this is what people want: as labour move to the right to appease bigot voters who don't like them anyway, their core base refuse to stand up to them out of fear of another tory win- labour just see this as an endorsement of bigotry so continue on, and as more minorities peel away a doubling down occurs, the same foolish "hold your nerve" rhetoric as Truss and even Sunak have been stating- but this isnt about the economy. It's about playing Russian roulette with minority rights, and we don't have to sit around and find out whether labour are firing blanks at us, or if they fully intend to let us be the casualties that help them win- if our "allies" stood with us and told labour they could get lost til they moderate their stance, labour would have no choice but to do just that. But apparently it's easier to accuse people tired of labour's crooning at bigots of being tory enablers.
