So you get to decide how LGBTQ+ people should think?
Keep in mind that stripping their rights is impossible, so it's not like they could somehow vote that into reality by accident.

That's hardly comparable. No need to pull a reductio ad absurdum.

Hardly. A Jew voting for Nazism is voting for their own immolation, but Nazism is never going to gain power in this country.
An LGBTQ+ person voting for Trump is secure in the knowledge that he straight up can't do anything to actually hurt their civil liberties, so they can disregard that and vote off his other policy.

Figured you'd bring that one up. However, that is more an exception that proves an otherwise ironclad rule. He had direct authority over the military as commander-in-chief. Can't wield that influence over any civil affairs.

An exception does, in fact, prove a rule. It's an exception, after all.
And again, he literally cannot do in the civil sphere what he can do in the military. No President can.
