Three plaintiffs testified about the trauma they experienced carrying nonviable pregnancies.
And the far right are going to claim she’s faking it like the disgusting people they are.
They fear not being in control. Whether it’s control over others bodies or control over religion and government, or the fear of being a minority racial group, the one thing in common is they have to be the ones allowed to tell everyone else how to live.
Did you read this? You comment makes me think you have. No one seems to be mentioning this despite how eminently reasonable it seems to be. Have you been sharing this link? I have been. I wish more people could read this.
Sure I guess my point is they fear the truth so much that they invented their own form of the truth.
I would argue that the VAST majority of the people pushing these ideologies do not believe the things they profess to believe and that they are pushing their followers to subscribe to. It is rank tribalism with the only goal being money & power for themselves at the expense of anyone that they deem to be a threat. It really is a zero sum game.
There are the useful idiots that I would classify as the true believers, but their beliefs have often times been coopted either due to poor education or coercive indoctrination of assorted varieties (like religion for example).
My understanding of it (based on discussions with my mom) is that they don’t fear the truth, they fear being wrong, because if they are wrong they then don’t have an answer anymore and it is deeply uncomfortable.
The issue with this is that if you never acknowledge that you may be wrong, you can never learn.
They’ve been wrong for a very long time. They are still waiting for trickle down economic (reaganomics) to work. Its been decades and nothing close to trickle down has ever come to fruition.
Non-americans: trickle down is the idea that when we boost the profit of CEOs that money will “trickle down” to everyone else at the company. A laughable idea that has and will never work.
This is the actual Republican platform. The only thing they want, is to have authority over everyone, and for no one to have authority over them. We are the ones who fear being wrong. Republicans, on the other hand, won’t lose a wink of sleep if lying gets them in power. In the pursuit of the ‘right’ people telling the ‘wrong’ people what to do, and in the pursuit of keeping the ‘wrong’ people from telling the ‘right’ people what to do, anything goes. Hypocrisy, lies, crime, election fraud, subverting courts, coups, false patriotism, false piety, terrorism, even outright murder… anything goes.
Know the enemy, spread the word to your friends and family (and maybe further).
something i recently learned is: you can change your opinion, this literally changed my life. if you feel your opinion is wrong, don’t stick to it. stick to facts and science.
