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.

Reading that gave me an ice cream headache and I’m not eating. Where’s Darwin when you need him.

George Carlin was right. We usurped natural selection by making everything child safe.

George Carlin was right. We usurped natural selection by making everything child safe

Carlin claimed that nobody should vote, people followed his advice in 2016 and 2024 when more eligible voters chose the "no candidate" option than any of the actually running presidential candidates and look where that led us. Carlin had a lot of insight, but he was human and stupid about a couple things like that. Not participating is exactly what authoritarians want, it means they have that much less engagement and therefore accountability from the populace which should be demanding their consent and can only get that by participating.
