Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.

Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!"

Yeah, sucks being a member of the "Fuck You Got Mine" party, doesn't it? Almost as if empathy and following the science is the better paradigm...
Yes, but fear and gerrymandering win elections.
It does but generally only when there's a major looming threat and/or we are asleep at the wheel and let them spread bullshit without challenge.
What they've failed to account for is the fact that women can surprisingly vote. And women are overwhelmingly not voting for the anti woman party. I suspect even the most vocal right wing ladies are closing the curtain and choosing not to vote against their own interests. Since right wing women love to secretly get abortions, it tracks.
Abortion is the issue that the right never actually wanted to win. It made for perfect performance art. You could sing all day about it and get the Christian vote and you never actually had to do a thing but just promise you would keep fighting the good fight. Except the super religious nuts used trump to get cultist judges in place and they actually fucking did it. Now they're dealing with the consequences of their own actions. Rich Republicans never wanted to get rid of abortions. They need abortions on account of all the women they impregnate that aren't their Christian wives. Sure they can still get them but it's suuuuper inconvenient to have to send the cleaning lady on spirit airlines to a blue state.
The phrase "the dog that caught the car" has not been used enough to describe this situation.
I said it yesterday, the #fascist #GOP have finally caught the car & are currently being pulled under the tire.
Unfortunately they're not going to lie down and die. They're probably going to try another coup attempt.
Republicans are an existential threat to the United States.
But but but GOP is run by a woman?! /s
I haven’t heard that one but I did see a clip of Anne Coulter saying women shouldn’t have the right to vote. Can you imagine that? I mean what women are voting against their own right to vote?
Her name's Ronna McDaniel, K, here's the deal:
Just trust me (Spoiler alert: she's Porky Minch's mom from EarthBound 🤣)
She also spoke out against the Texas abortion case (on the right side even o_O). Her legs are the only part of her I take seriously but I definitely would find her entertaining if he worldview wasn't so problematic
Trump is a woman?!
