It will be interesting to see the politicians responses when their porn accounts are hacked and they all have to explain why their ID is associated with profiles that frequent tranny incest porn

I'm starting to think it's harder to buy guns illegally in the US.

Well you see it's because you don't agree with my version of speech so that means I'm being victimized. /s

Sending in police dogs to sniff out those woke teachers.

Not schadenfreude, ambivalence. And if there is nothing else you want to add then we are just strangers arguing each other's morals, morals which we really have no idea about. And there is no point or value in arguing the perceived morals of people you don't and never will know.

Cold, sure. Awful, for these women yes. But this is explicitly the consequences of the vote of the overwhelming majority of this states population. In no way have I said that women deserve sub standard health care. I have said this is the exact outcome that the voting population was warned of, ie consequences. You have been talking about morality, but just my morality not the morality of the situation. So again, what's your argument? That we shouldn't call this the consequences of the state of idaho voting for this? That the state shouldn't be allowed to enact or enforce these laws? That doctors should be forced to stay?what are you trying to add to the conversation other than to say that my comment is mean because not everyone wanted to ban abortion and prosecute doctors?

I mean, that is how a representative democracy works. I'm a two party system you get 50%+1 and you win. Getting more than 52-53% of the vote is very hard. Idaho is voting 60-70% + for this. Obviously individuals are individual but what is your argument? That there is nothing to be said about voting blocks because you have to consider each individual persons thoughts on a vacuum? Either you're being obtuse or naive.

Yes and no. Yes Trump won the election in 2016 but he lost both popular votes in 2016 & 2020. The supreme court is not voted on and at least one seat should have been a liberal justice. Nationally the US is dictated by the minority opinion at the moment with how our government is structured. Saying Idaho is representative of the US as a whole is kind of like saying Bulgaria is representative of the EU as a whole. They've got their opinions and their places of influence but I don't think anyone would say they are at the top of the pecking order.

In the last 3 elections a super majority vote for candidates that supported restrictive abortion policies.

You may think it's cold to say that they made choices that are having negative consequences that they have to deal with. I say it's realistic that 40 years of states like Idaho pushing further right means they have to deal with it on their own terms. It is, after all, what they voted for.

That doesn't prevent him from being the nominee. He's also got some of the best Healthcare in the world that already knows he's fat, old, and unhealthy and I'm sure they are doing what they can to keep him alive as long as possible.

Does it really matter? Trump is getting the nomination. We can stop pretending it's 2016 and someone else has a shot.

I think you got the big misunderstanding stated well. This will not happen everywhere. This will only happen in red states. This is what all these started voted for over and over. Doctors warned that they would leave for non hostile states and that the people most impacted would be rural and red communities. These stories are unfortunate but trend to leave out context, did these people get what they voted for? Most likely, in Idaho, they did. They just dint like the side effects they were warned of are now impacting them personally.
