An increasing number of families are facing homelessness in the U.S. and parents need meaningful and properly compensated employment. If you are trying to put food on the table for your kids and a roof over your head, or if that is the most pressing need you see around you, where you live, you're going to vote according to those interests.
It's no different to you seeing the most pressing need as legal protection for those who are currently marginalised and persecuted by society at large.
Both of these groups are affected by a truly shameful number of preventable deaths. It doesn't help IMO, for supporters of these two groups to claim that the other group doesn't support their goals because their privilege makes them blind to the needs of others.

When Obama took office the unemployment rate was at 10% and he left it at 4,6%.
The whole jobs angle trump took was a big fat lie.
And i'm sure taking affordable healthcare away from the population is in the best interest of those raising kids.
