They don’t care about you,
your beliefs, your body.
How will you vote?

I wonder if the people who refused to wear masks would be against abortion … ??
LikeLiked by 1 person
Yes, at least generally speaking. Most of folks who refuse to wear masks are Republicans and most of the folks who oppose a woman’s right to control her own body are Republicans.

Yeah, don’t expect consistency or rationality from them. It’s mostly dog whistles and dogma.

Probably so. You’ve mostly solved the gun problem and you have national healthcare so you’re years ahead of us. Of course, you’ve got plenty of political problems too.

Such hypocrisy. Feigning such concern for the fetus but once that child is in the world it’s on it’s own because the Republicans will do all they can to eliminate all social programs even free school lunches that might help that child and mother.

For the true believers, the fetus is untainted by original sin but once it’s born, it’s a sinner like everyone else. Of course, there are plenty of Republican shills who don’t believe but just want the true believers votes and money. It’s been a useful wedge issue since the 80’s. I just hope brings out the Democratic base.

The true believers know that the radical religious are so misguided and are corrupting out democracy day by day. and who the hell thinks that when a child is born it’s a sinner? They are the sinners. It takes a sick mind to think a child is a sinner. The sinners have the blood of 19 little innocent schoolchildren on there hands because the won’t give up that payoff from The NRA

It’s an odd business. The Republicans, as I understand it, started by supporting freedoms in America – Abe Lincoln was their first President! And now – they often stand for the opposite of freedom.
The Conservative Party allegedly started off with ideas of conserving the good things about life in Britain but have, for some time, stood for……the opposite.
Politics – human behaviour – an odd business.
To quote Bjork…
Human Behaviour
if you ever get close to a human
and human behaviour
be ready to get confused.
there’s definitely no logic
to human behaviour
but yet so irresistible
there’s no map
to human behaviour
they’re terribly moody
then all of a sudden turn happy
but, oh, to get involved in the exchange
of human emotions is ever so satisfying
there’s no map
and a compass
wouldn’t help at all
human behaviour

While political historians can explain the various shifts in political parties from left to right and back again, I don’t worry too much about it. In politics, history can be informative but what’s important are the policies they support now.
