Okay here's the choices:
democrats: we'll leave you alone to live your life. We won't interfere in how you want to organize your bodily autonomy.
Well, except when it comes to making choices for your kids, where they're basicallly on the precipice of getting "your kid can choose to have their dick or tits cut off and there's not a thing a parent can do about it" and also more or less trying very hard to get parents who don't allow their kids into trans-endorsing therapy and so on to get demarcated as child abusers and that
kind of thing. It used to be in this country not that long ago that issue was approached with balance, pragmatism and respect but all that is going right out the window, to the detriment of these kids and their parents. And that's just the tip of the iceberg.
Also in reality they talk a good game but rarely do a whole hell of a lot. You could almost hear the loud disappointment in the room from democraps when the supreme court killed off the gay marriage debate, it was almost like they were disappointed because they lost their main thing to whine about and had to pick something else. (and FTR, I think that decision was a huge win for both sides, ironically, because it killed a divisive issue that should have never existed to begin with).
republicans: you need to pray the gay away. Oh what's that your buddhist? Well you need to convert and become a Christian to live in our Jesus-themed utopia.
Yeah but if you haven't been paying attention evengelicals and juicers have more or less had their knees cut off, as in the last GOP election cycle they got marginalized to
"average". This was shown when Trump was campaigning and he went to court workers instead of juicers. Ted Cruz courted the juicers but gained nothing from it, and got
destroyed in the primary voting. Juicers dont have that kind of pull anymore to throw a primary..
The only thing keeping evengelicals and juicers still relevant is the "Roe" business and the fact that there are like 9 or 10 states where their liberals were too f***ing stupid to
push for or settle for a 15 week law and get it burned in. Now those states have full on abortion bans becasue the other side was too stupid to take the free cheese in the one
case where it would have worked out to take the free cheese....
There can be things that transcend gun rights and the right of people to be left alone is just as important to the next guy as it is to you.
Lol the thing is if you don't have a gun you lose all ability to stop bad actors from violating your other rights. Once people as individuals or groups are disarmed or pose no threat to those in power, whatever little ability you had to stop them from abusing you is basically gone.
Republicans are making an enormously calculated blunder in order to appeal to a small percentage of the republican voting base.
The juicers/evangelicals are no longer the biggest problem for the GOP anymore, not by a long shot, outside of the Roe problem, but that only exists in 10 states and is outside of the mainstream at this point.
The biggest problem is that is basically harboring a bunch of garbage, milquetoast shitbag corrupt a**h***s, like Cocaine mitch, Romney, Crenshaw, ad nauseam. And its not that these pols "arent conservative enough" it's that they are corrupt shitbags.
thats a far bigger problem with pulling wobblies. Wobblies will keep doing the same voting over and over again unless they feel like they are truly getting a different
option.
Thats why, love him or hate him (as an individual) , politically, Donald Trump was a big f***ing deal- there was a statistically significant # of middle left, and middle right type wobblie voters pulled for Trump because he got the lens of the issues off shit that didnt matter (like lmnopq, abortion, etc) to shit that actually did matter, like jobs, economy, government spending and domestic fiscal and regulatory policies, avoiding foreign entanglements, etc.
Republicans need "trump lite" and not "cocaine mitch" or "Romney" etc. THAT is the biggest problem. the Evengelojuicecons are not a big deal anymore. Not by a long
shot.
