I'm talking about ones that vote Democrat anyways they might hold those beliefs but they ain't actively voting for it.

That example came to mind cause I think the true liberals of this country would have their minds blown if they realized how many on "their" side dont actually agree with that point. Its shifting though it's mostly people my age and older. But still plenty of young ones in rural areas.

I feel that's better than actually being pro LGBT but voting against it anyways. Cause I know those kinda people too.

Not on a political point but made me think of my grandad. He would say some mad racist homophobic etc shit but in his actions he was nothing but nice to everyone around him unless they pissed him off. And hell despite me being bi he did more for me and gave me a lot more things than he did my straight brother. Cause he knew he could actually rely on me. The contradictions of his words and actions always baffled me. Only thing I can figure is he was a product of his time but deep down he believed everyone was equal

Regardless of whether it's better than the reverse (and if someone claims to not be a bigot but votes for bigots anyway I'm probably not going to believe them in the first place), it is not something that is "okay" and that people should respect. You presented being opposed to people's right to exist as something that should be overlooked if someone isn't that far right, and that sums up why no one trusts people pushing enlightened centrism.
