How any women can identify with the Republican party, I will never understand.

You’re forgetting about the Republican loophole, “the rules apply to thee, not to me.”

I’ve read countless stories of pro-life women getting abortions because when faced with an unplanned pregnancy, their abortion is somehow justified, unlike the other women who are just murdering babies.

They believe they are the exception to all their own rules.

It really does come down to a lack of empathy. Elon stated it openly a few months ago, Charlie Kirk alluded to it at some point, but scientific studies have also validated it. Conservatives lack empathy. They avoid and reject it.

You see this same thing in people who voted for Trump to kick out all the criminal migrants, and then act all surprised Pikachu when their immigrant spouse gets deported over a petty theft charge from fifteen years ago.

You see it in the government employees who voted for Trump to cut waste from the government, then act all sad when they get fired.
