It’s begun.
, the Clone Wars have.
So let me get this straight.
- Republicans realize they can court religious nuts by switching their position to anti-choice
- Religious nuts start switching sides to the Republican party
- The entire rest of the country thinks this is toxic like polonium, starts abandoning the party
- Rather than change their policy planks, Republicans decide to try to brainwash the rest of the country into being anti-choice too
What will this fix, for them? I guess I’m confused.
Tl;Dr: its mostly religious lunacy, bigotry and sadism
It’s all about forcing white women to produce more white conservative babies to swell their ranks while keeping people of color down by forcing them to have a bunch of children they can’t afford to give a good life.
And the demonizing of sex for pleasure, of course.
At least those are the obvious motivations. There’s also the fact that many of them are megalomaniacal sadists who get off on hurting and controlling people, especially women, and don’t much care about anything beyond that.
I hear what you are saying, but propaganda works.
Yeah I know. Much better than most people think, unfortunately 😮💨
You missed a couple steps.
4 is actually: Religious nuts take over the party. Internal insanity increases, and is increasingly unchecked.
5: During Obama and Trump, even the Republicans are amazed at how well Fox and others are at propagandizing and convincing people of their lies. That means their ideology can go full propaganda, which is what we now see.
What could we do to like send this guy to the sun or some other place? I don’t think we need this sort of chicanery here.
Tell him about the giant space goat that’s going to eat the earth, but he can escape on a special spaceship.
Well, the simplest conception way was to launch a big ass rocket retrograde and let it fall into the sun.
More effecient would be to do a Venus flyby.
Personally, though, I’d say drop them in an earth trailing orbit, with a big solar sail. Use it to slowly reduce their orbit until it falls in.
Give them enough food, air, and water to survive the trip. Maybe in a completely isolated pod, maybe with a certain handful of others.
Also maybe live stream that shit.
Why waste air, food or water on Charlie Kirk? He’s absolutely unnecessary. It’s like somebody left a stove on one time in 85 and now we have this dunce. He’s a sad accident that should have been prevented, but now he’s here inconveniencing everybody like a rock in our collective shoe. I wish there was a checkbox on my tax forms to get rid of this unfortunate accident of a person.
what? you don’t want to see a bunch of assholes go all Lord-of-the-Flies-in-Space on each other?
yeah. neither do I but I bet it’d generate a lot of proceeds until people learned were donating to school lunches and LGBTQ+ stuff and women’s rights stuff and… whatever else we can…
But you’re right, of course. WE should probably just drop them in a pit and get the same effect.
That’s definitely also conditioning them to oppose female suffrage
To be fair, Emma Goldman called that shit.
Don’t you blame magrats for this shit, the republicans were doing just fine on their own and have been since regan
Yep, that sounds like Charlie Kirk seeking coverage.
Ba birth control. Dare ya. Wait till these guys find out that women won’t have sex with them any longer.
Won’t have consensual sex with them any longer.
Which isn’t the kind they like anyway.
I didn’t see this mentioned in the article, but I skimmed parts of it. Do they realize that preventing pregnancy isn’t the only reason people use birth control? Are they planning on making medical exceptions? Let me be clear, it’s still hugely fucked up either way; I’m just curious.
I took BC for several years for my endometriosis, and I knew several friends who were prescribed it as teens to treat similar conditions. And sometimes they didn’t have a specific diagnosis, but they just had especially painful or frequent/heavy periods. Apart from that, aren’t there certain medical treatments that require you to take birth control for x number of weeks bc they could harm a potential fetus? I can’t remember a specific example.
And, yeah, preventing pregnancy is pretty damn important too. Fuck those guys.
An extremely painful/heavy/frequent period is exactly what they want to happen. The cruelty is the point.
In the video, in the link, he mentioned that birth control pills were used for all sorts of other things besides preventing pregnancy, like helping with acne amongst others. I wish I could quote you what he said, but I refuse to listen to it again, it’s infuriating.
Anyways, point is, he knows and he believes all it’s uses are wrong.
Wonderful. /s
But thanks. And it only makes it more ironic what he’s complaining about, because personally, getting my hormones under control made me way more emotionally stable.
My condition was absolutely debilitating – I ended up doing 7th grade online at home, and it was miserable. If this idiot wants to take away medication that can keep a kid out of pain, I’d like to be first in line to personally rip his head off.
I’ll add, the alternatives for 15 y/o me would have been stronger pain medication, or surgery. (…I mean, I switched to testosterone hrt after turning 18, and I guess you could consider that an option since it does stop periods. But somehow I doubt more trans people is what he wants lmao.)
Ok why do conservatives hate having sex wtf sex that doesn’t end with a baby if one is off life’s best things
People don’t desire sex with them. They may be able to coerce (religion) or get sex through power (money/influence), but they aren’t generally sexually appealing.
Modern women are financially independent (in fact, they’re more educated than men nowadays) and are now far less likely to be tied down and dependent on a man by accidental pregnancies (widespread contraceptives + access to abortions)
Getting a stable 9 to 5 won’t result in a wife landing in your lap any more, women will choose to be single over dating a boring shit head, so all the boring shit heads are reeling at the fact that they now have to offer more to the relationship than just financials, and they’re consistently voting for policy that attempts to “put women back in their place” (ie dependent on them for money)
This is pure cope.
If you don’t already know about it, search up tradwife culture. Some weirdo women like that sort of thing.
We can hate conservatives for the kind of world we know they want to bring about but we have to acknowledge the fact that some women are equally as stupid so as to want the same.
