On the one hand, does this chart represent a core problem with US politics (if not democratic governance in general) by illustrating the cravenness exhibited by the ruling class as they bend over backwards and disregard their own stated principles to appeal to the whims of their voter bases in the naked hopes of gaining support for reelection (particularly when juxtaposed with public support for the same)?

On the other hand, it’s also fucking awesome how far the drive for equal rights has taken the US political climate.
