Literally from that linkFALSE Pence never stated that he supported the use of electric shocks or gay conversion therapy . Pence has never said anything in favor of conversion therapy . c allingmikepencehomophobic <| sep |> No are you serious <| sep |> On one hand , we Americans decry the partisanship that has gridlocked our government . We rage in frustration that these boneheads are too hellbent on walking party lines to make sure that our government does what it ' s supposed to do find the acceptable middle ground amongst diverse people . And then on the other hand , we declare that the politician elected by the other side will never be good enough for us . He said too many offensive things during the campaign , pandered too much to a demographic that we don ' t associate with . This is why shit won ' t change in America . Congressmen go home to town halls full of people with no vision of the future , just the rhetoric of DON ' T WORK WITH THOSE ASSHOLES . Then those Congressmen go back to Washington knowing that they have to do nothing to keep their jobs , just keep opposing everything that comes from the other side . Even if they had ideas of changing things for the better , they know their party will never support them , and they ' ll be out of a job come reelection time . Status quo . Wake the fuck up , America . This is not the United States of You . There are other people in this country , and guess what ? The government is supposed to look out for them too . If you give up on cooperation because your guy isn ' t in office , then you don ' t believe in cooperation , you never fucking did .
