Working class Republicans are voting against their own <i>economic</i> self-interest, but -- if they have really strong feelings about social issues (that is, they are some type of bigot) -- they may feel that their principles are more important than their personal economic welfare. Or they may just be stupid.
Gay Republicans, OTOH, may well be voting <i>for</i> their economic self-interest (a working-class gay Republican would be quite a find). They do this despite the fact that the vast majority of their fellow Republicans would like them to die, or at least become completely invisible.
I think the gay Repos are way more fucked up -- or conflicted, if you prefer. If the Republicans should happen to achieve absolute power, the working-class Repos will just be as fucked as they are now, but the gays will be exterminated.

It&#039;s not so much that there is a hierarchy of crazy -- they&#039;re just all over the fucking place.
A little difference.
