What a bullshit country. Absolutely embarrassing.
She added that, if GOP lawmakers are unwilling to respond to the reproductive health care needs of women, she hopes that voters will get a chance later this year. A push to enshrine the right to abortion in the state’s constitution is well on its way to qualifying for the November ballot.
The GOP is running on a platform of hate and misery. Sadly too many people are fully behind that.
Too many, but not a majority. Important to remember that.
Specifically, remember that coming up to the election.
And remind your friends to get off their asses and vote.
They're also quite loud, and violent too.
Conservative voters clearly want some sort of change but aren't articulate enough to know what it is or eloquent enough to ask. They want someone to get into the government and fuck up the process as an act of protest. But they don't know how to ask for that. Instead they vote in the loud, viscous remains of a person with a fragile ego to be the damage they want done to those who they think wronged them.
Cruelty is the point.
The issue is that a lot of people have every good reason to be pissed at the state of the world and to be angry that it isn't changing for the better. The Republicans sure aren't ever going to make things better, but their entire marketing technique is based on harnessing that anger. Democrats, on the other hand, seem to mostly be afraid of even acknowledging that the anger and its causes even exist, and that's one of their biggest weaknesses.
"We're the Democrats we can't possibly be responsible for any of this frustration and anger. Also have you heard those young people talking about workers rights and not supporting genocide? Ah to be young and naive."
The cruelty is the point.
As is being an asshole. Yet they still get voted into office.
But we can’t let the Trans Cult of Black Lesbian Gayness win or Jesus will cry!!!!
