It looks like social conservatives have finally lost the culture wars, as announced by a gay billionaire at the Republican convention.

The media will tout that he was the first Republican convention speaker to say he’s proudly gay, but I think this proclamation is way more important.
Congrats, Trumpvangelicals, you just sold your soul for the sake of power.
Peter Thiel gets cheered for calling the culture wars fake. Am I watching the DNC or the RNC right now?

"Fake culture wars distract us from our economic decline!" And now, the nominee who lamented Starbucks plain red Christmas cups.

The crowd is all over this "fake culture wars" stuff. Cool. Never deny reproductive rights, bathroom rights or marriage rights again, then.

Peter Theil is supporting Trump because he opposes "fake culture wars"
Trump has picked fights w/Hispanics, Muslims, African-Americans…

The culture wars aren't "fake." Just ask the leftists committed to waging them. #RNCinCLE

Memo to Peter Thiel: I think the people being insulted or threatened with deportation might not think those culture wars are so fake…

Trump touts that he will make every store say “Merry Christmas” again, and that appeases the simple-minded among Christians. They don’t think what they’re going to lose in negotiations:
For what does it profit a man if he gains the whole world and loses or forfeits himself?

That’s the art of this deal.
