It was a thing. It was more populist-right and libertarian-right that liked her. Her position on gun control wasn't really brought up till later in her campaign.
I think the big draw for her was that she didn't seem insane and is known for being a party outsider. The Dem party got really pissed at her when she refused to endorse Hillary in 2016, for example. If the Dems did end up winning she would have been the least horrible candidate was the logic.
She's also for ending foreign regime-change wars, mandating paper ballots & keeping the Electoral College, said "I don’t support open borders. Without secure borders, we don’t really have a country" & sued Google for their election interference.
What Dem primary candidate do you feel had better gun views? What are their views on the things I mentioned?
You have to look at the big picture- you could easily make the "I can't see how anyone on the right would care for" argument vs Trump if you singled out one of his views.
Back during the primaries, oh yeah. It was fucking sad, and the worst part was that a lot of them just flat out ignored her opinions to continue fapping. The media treated her like dirt and I guess the right wing white knights had to ride out en masse to protect m'lady. Then Hilary called her a Russian agent.
No its not a thing. There was no white-knighting of Tulsi. The only thing that happened is that right wingers were also watching the primary debates and were coming to the obvious conclusion that Tulsi stood the best chance against Trump in a general election. Some never-Trumpers latched onto her, but their opinions are at the absolute height of irrelevance.
Her chances against him in a general election had less to do with her policies, and more on her willingness to sink to Trump's level when debating him, and the relative ease at which she does so.
I don't really want to live through more right wingers white knighting Gabbard.

Exactly. Yang & Tulsi sat not only with Rogan & Rubin but Tucker & Shapiro among others.
And I never heard them attack others based on their race, Tulsi never accused someone of "mansplaining".
