        Liberals are the eldest children of politics. They get all the praise and attention, mainly for doing what their parents say.

        Conservatives are the babies of politics. They get what they want by being insufferably annoying.

        Progressives are the middle children. They’re supposed to go along with everything and not complain that their siblings get all the attention.

    Prichard, who has previously called on conservative states to “put into code that Jesus Christ is King and dedicate their state to Him,”

    That’s all you really need to know right there. Just another Christian Nationalist fuckhead trying to rally the heard herd* of angry rubes.

    A Republican state representative in North Dakota has urged authorities in Ohio to “ignore the results” of Tuesday’s election

    So it’s an idiot from some other State trying to tell Ohio what and what not to do. Gotcha.

      They did that in South Dakota when they voted to legalize recreational Marijuana. The governor used a single-subject technicality and anti-mariuana geriatric judges agreed. Then two years and millions of dollars in smear campaigns later they had a rematch that soundly defeated recreational use when it was voted on again.

      I really hop you’re trolling, because you’re letting out some pretty crucial parts here.

      Democracy is also when you vote and your voted-for result doesn’t happen. More than 40% of the state just had that experience.

      Democracy isn’t about you. Or me. It’s about the majority.

    The fact that a party that has deified an adulterous, lecherous, lying, vulgar fraudster thinks it has any moral high ground on any subject is laughable

    “Republican dislikes democracy” could be the title of almost any article about almost any Republican and it’d still be correct.

    Yeah I would not be surprised if they just re-ban marijuana. Abortion though, that’s not gonna succeed. It’s a constitutional amendment that won by over 10 points after a lot of underhanded attempts to kill it. If they succeed at this then they sever the final sliver of democracy in Ohio.

    What do they think will happen in 10 years?

    “It would be an act of courage to ignore the results of the election and not allow for the murder of Ohio babies. We are probably 10 years away from this opinion being acceptable though.”

      would be an act of courage… not allow for the murder

      Friends and neighbors, that’s a call to violence.

        Yeah and whos gonna stop him? It’s not like he was doing something as horrible as condeming the Israelie slaughter of innocents, then maybe we could do something like hold a vote on how much we don’t like him.

    I watched the debate last night and half of those chucklefucks were like “I’M SO UPSET, WHY WOULD DEMOCRACY DO THIS, WE HAVE TO INTERVENE”. Points to Christie (who, I believe, is trying to present himself as wide Biden) for actually sticking to his guns on the State’s Rights rhetoric.

    Of course, Christie is trying to be reasonable, so he has about a dollar’s chance in a strip club of making it out of the primary.

    “Responding to Tuesday’s election outcomes, House Republican Marjorie Taylor Greene, a GOP hardliner, urged anti-abortion campaigners to produce more graphic adverts to demonstrate that “abortion kills lives.””

    I wonder how many she has had with her extra martial activities over the years? 🤔
