    Given that abortion has been banned in the state for two years, one would think people would be aware that, well, abortion has been banned in the state for two years — but 73 percent of those surveyed incorrectly believed that abortions were still available at abortion clinics in the state. Twenty-one percent believed that people were still regularly getting abortions at those clinics.

    Goddamn. Maybe those republiQan women weren’t evil, just ignorant as hell?

      I’ve said this plenty and people tend to agree with me even if their first reaction is to fight me on it, conservative women are some of the most if not the most stupid people in the US. At least conservative men have something to gain by voting the way they do, but conservative women literally vote to get their own rights taken away.

      I don’t even say this trying to be mean, I wish they got what they deserved and by that I mean healthcare, education and whatever social program they needed to be happy and safe. Unfortunately they constantly vote against me wanting the best for them.

        They need to all be sat down and forced to watch The Handmaid’s tale, with a constant reminder they won’t be one of the rich wives.

            Meh, that’s the thing about choice. If they and their partner want to live that way they can choose to do so, as long as they aren’t trying to force others to also live that way.

              I get it and agree with you but these are also the type of people who want everyone to go back to that and go out of their way to insult people who don’t live that lifestyle.

          One of the big points was that even the rich wives had a horrendous life. Indeed, even the men.

          Serena Joy hated her situation, did she not?

      My wife’s mother told her not to worry about abortion being banned because “people won’t let that happen”. Umm. Except it already has.

        There was a brief record scratch moment when the abortion ban stuff happened, but the trumpers I know got right back on the bandwagon and are now talking “white replacement theory.”

            Sure has. It’s pretty easy for Nazi talking points to go mainstream when the richest person in the country, who also controls a social media platform, is a Nazi. And the ex-president is a Nazi.

            This sort of thing shouldn’t be surprising anymore.

        “I don’t need to vote. People will never let Trump get elected.” Wanna bet she will never change her mind on this stance either? Like, “Yes, Trump got elected once, but people won’t let him get elected again, so I don’t need to vote.” Ugh, I am getting angry at this straw man of your wife’s mother now.
