I agree without that JT puts on a very good performance. However, I think that you are focusing to much on the individuals. The people who prioritize social issues are voting against who a party represents. I don't think many people think Andrew Scheer is a homophobic pro lifer. That said, homophobic pro lifers vote for Scheer. Additionally, they would not vote for someone who receives the share of pro LGBTQ and pro abortion rights vote. People will associate party views with the views of their supporters. The lived experience influences ideological assumptions.
