Trump got conservatives applauding statements about LGBT rights, he posed smiling with a rainbow flag, and he had LGBT people (like Peter Thiel and Milo Yiannopoulos) made into HEROES of the Trump campaign (Thiel is on the transition team, BTW, while some people are pushing for Milo to be WH Press Secretary -though I doubt that one will come to pass, not because Milo is gay but because he's so combative), I would say Theocons should be more worried about Trump influencing Pence's position than vice-versa. To the ever-shrinking rump of virulently homophobic Theocons, it's Pence who looks like he's sold out everything they believe in. Of course, demographic studies for several years now have shown that even those Evangelical Theocon's own Evangelical Millennial Kids don't believe in their homophobic stance, so they're pretty much an endangered species at this point.

And that staff he's putting together, those folks were the very reason Obama won, not once, but twice -- gross. I still think you're in Prequel era Star Wars. The Rebellion is only beginning. This new Era is the end of the Galactic Republic, and the RISE of the Empire. <br /><br />A lot of people aren't going to "wait", and "be calm", to find out if you're right about this. And don't act like there wouldn't be any riots, or worse, if the DNC/Dems got their way.

Christian conservatives are going to have less influence in the Trump administration than they've had in any GOP administration in the last 40 years.<br /><br />And "White nationalists" have never had any real influence in the GOP (they did once, long ago albeit within living memory, have influence in the Democratic party, but that's another story). They aren't going to have any in this administration either.

I get calling WHITE liberals, DNC-Democrats, and mainstream/establishment media the Empire, because they're the status-quo. But, a good chunk of those that were offended and turned off by both Clinton and Trump, that didn't vote (like 6-million or so), are hardly Imperials. They are still disenfranchised by their government, and now they have an empowered White-Nationalist movement gloating and rubbing it in even further. That's not the rebellion, that's the Galactic Republic being taken over by a Phantom Menace, your white supremacists and other white nationalists are the Clone army, and they have just back-stabbed the Jedi Order under Order 66 (sleeper vote winning the election). Trump is Palpatine, Darth Sidious. And the story happening now are the prequels. We just watched Darth Vader (Christian Supremacy) get born, and the beginning of the Empire.
