All they care about is their base

They want a shutdown lol this idea that negotiating will avert it is silly since you don’t negotiate for things you don’t want.

I know, I was joking

I know right? This quote in the headline makes her out to sound so tepid like “please mr president could you maybe be more confrontational against the fascists who want to kill me and my allies? 👉👈”

Too busy trying to court centrist voters and uphold a dying status quo

Nah if Trump was in office in the last four months there’d be open conflict across the Middle East with thousands of US troops bound for Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Iran, Jordan, etc

Oh yeah, if he started talking like half of his most rabid supporters do online then he’d be way more popular.

If people could quote President Biden’s personal attacks on white supremacists, book bans, etc then they’d get a lot farther with the politically disengaged.

Imagine if you had Biden (or his social media team) out here on the daily constantly mocking GOP culture war shit as inherently un-American and out of touch with normal people?

What matters is perception and public messaging and that is currently one of a centrist president incapable of reigning in a foreign ally or continually calling out House Republicans for their shenanigans that put American lives at risk at home and abroad.

Conservatives have constant control of the conversation because they have zero qualms publicly stating how their political adversaries stand in their way. But instead it looks like Democrats trying to win Republicans support by adopting republican policies instead of bullying them into accepting the plan of the majority party of the upper legislature and presidency.

Such an idea is impossible anyways, because to ensure a benevolent society you need to incorporate the wide range of viewpoints and experiences of the people within it, something a dictatorship, by definition, precludes.

Man if only someone at the DNC would see this…

EDIT: y’all I was being sarcastic

Based

It probably will result in it, a rising tide lifts all boats as they say

He worked for the people who ran it. When people frame him as a human trafficker they’re falsely creating this image of a man who kept people in cages and shipped them over international boundaries but if you read the court documents it was nothing like that.

Important to know is that this is only possible because someone from a +19 Democrat district got elected, then flipped parties. So not only is this overriding a governor in order to Rule over their Betters, someone outright betrayed their constituents to do so.

Well yeah, they hate the idea of planned parenthood. The desirables of society are supposed to be married expressly for the purpose of bearing children, and anyone else is supposed to have it thrust upon them whether they’re ready, want it or not.

I came here to comment this. I’m glad this was at the top when ranked “hot” for me. Every time I see a headline like this I die a little inside, I’m so sick of this naive attitude in general society when dealing with theocrats.

Another channel: RenegadeCut, specifically his series on hierarchies

Because they honestly believe women are inferior. They might not say it literally but we got the last GOP nominee for Arizona governor saying “God didn’t create women as men’s equals” so who knows

It comes from a desire to ensure that their worldview is never challenged, and people find appeal in it because it can give them a sense of purpose in life. A white woman might support Christian theocracy because she believes that she isn’t like those “sluts”, and that if she follows what rules are laid out for her she’ll find contentment.

Check out BeliefItOrNot, a YouTube channel, former evangelical child who left the church in adulthood with lots of great perspectives on this.

For some people, this is exactly why they wanted it overturned. Pro-Choice Activists have been saying for decades that this is about rolling back women’s rights and freedoms, and that arguing over the merits of abortion as a medical procedure was pointless.

I just wanna pop in and state that this is a feature and desired impact of the anti-abortion movement.
