I think what has been most engaging this whole time, since Trump came down with his announcement, is that we have watched a train wreck of leftists not understand that just because someone was a Democrat did not mean that they would remain in perfect lockstep.
What is most embarrassing for them is how hard they push people away for not believing 100% of the same things in the same ways.
For example, you could make the statement "I don't really believe in gay marriage", and then clarify that you don't really have a problem with the legal side of things and further iterate that you believe marriage is religious in nature.
The end result is the same -- you believe they should get the same legal rights as you would as a Christian, they get shared property, custody, whatever -- but leave the spiritual and religious side out of it.
Then they turn into ravenous rabid hyenas and jump down your throat because it's not good enough for them to have exactly the same legal rights as you, they DESERVE the right to trump and usurp your religion as well.
There are many Christian Democrats who believe just this, but end up alienated by their own side and cancelled if possible.
More and more of them look at how fucking bonkers and unrecognizable the left has become to them and they can't get away from them fast enough.
