NJ SPOTLIGHT NEWS: I've got news for anyone who thinks gay Republican Curtis Bashaw will do shit for queer people if he wins his New Jersey Senate race: he won't. They don't. Case in point, Bashaw says:

I think it's a profound contradiction, but maybe it's not that complicated. I know there are a lot of folks who say, “What's going on with these Silicon Valley folks veering into Trump world with J.D. Vance, and backing Trump?”... We've made it way too complicated. It's super simple. These are very rich men who have decided to back the Republican party that tends to do good things for very rich men.
