Do… they not understand what they’ve been voting for?

They say they are against banning abortion but when push comes to shove, they care more about their own taxes. That's the truth. Their words are hollow.

There is such a thing as “ballot questions”, they don’t need everything decided by their state reps.

Roberts didn’t want it to go down this way. Three activist justices appointed by Trump did this. Blame them, not all R’s.

And blame RBG for not retiring. And all the Dems who hated HRC and voted for Trump.

Not all R’s are maga. This decision might be a wake up call for R women.

While I’m a lifelong Dem, I’m not an AOC super lefty.

Let’s focus on bringing women and men together to fight this instead of drawing more lines.

No, but Rs who keep voting R have decided that they're okay with MAGA, and it's time to start calling a spade a spade.

YUP!!!!!!

No more. I was done awhile ago. It’s not politics anymore it’s morality.

Better learn to grow a garden and get you some cows. And fix your own car. Many of those people are republican.

Find out if the CEO of Home Depot is a republican so you know if it’s morally acceptable to get your broccoli seeds from there.

Voting for Republicans is prima facie evidence that there's a lot they don't understand.

This can apply to aborted babies as well

A mass of cells is not a baby or a person.

You realize you're a mass of cells, even at your age?

lol true!

Except that my clump of cells can breathe oxygen from the air.

And my lump of cells can live as a person outside of my mother’s body.

If you start needing artificial means to do those things (pacemaker, oxygen tank, etc.) you will be on par with the fetuses.

Yes, no medical care for the members of the GOP. It interferes with God's will for them and God's desire that life be all about suffering.


Even typing that as complete sarcasm makes my skin crawl.

We should have started harvesting organs from the over 50s for the younger people before RvW was overturned.

Voting for Dems is evidence that those individuals think they know it all

In all honesty it isn’t hard to find great tradesmen with a moral conscience.

Why do people keep saying this? How do we know we wouldn't have ended up with another Merrick Garland situation? I bet that but for Merrick Garland she would have retired.

Then blame Obama and the Dems for not fighting to seat Garland. I do. I also blame RBG.

Instead of blaming McConnell for being a thief, a chest, and a fraud?

This is an extremely good read on how these people think. Selected quotes below but it's worth reading in full.

So I just saw someone wondering how liberals can cut ties with conservative friends and family members over immigration policies when most Americans (including most conservatives) support immigration reform.

I'm going to talk about what I call the Shirley Exception.

If you back up an anti-abortion activist to the point where they actually have to grapple with a case where the parent would 100% die delivering a 100% non-viable fetus, you'll get the same answers: "No one is talking about those cases." and "But surely there will be exceptions."

All of those studies of people in Trump Country USA who were shocked, shocked, that the kind man next door who is a good father and a great neighbor and a real part of the community was dragged away by ICE?

They all thought that surely he'd be an exception.

See, the people who are sure that Surely There Will Be Exceptions are very comfortable with the idea of justice being decided on a case-by-case basis. They've always had teachers, bosses, bureaucrats, even traffic cops giving them some slack for reasons of compassion and logic.

People need to get used to thinking about the harm policies will do as a real part of the policy, not a hypothetical that Reasonable People of Good Will Can Surely Work Around.

Give me a break! Democrats don’t know how to fix cars in your small mind?
