Republicans in the Senate and the House of Representatives represent fewer citizens than their Democrat, Progressive and Independent colleagues and yet they are throttling legislation that would save lives. A radical arch conservative majority on the Supreme Court coupled with radical Republican appointees on lower courts is exercising minority rule of the judicial branch and they are signing away on the deaths of Americans across the country. Raped? You will carry to term for Amy Comey Barret and company because you are here to ensure a “domestic supply of infants’ ‘ – will you die, maybe? Do they care? No. Do you need an abortion for a medical condition that could kill you? Nope, you are a sacrificial lamb on the Republican altar. That child is born, you survive. Are there programs to help you? No. The same Republicans who decided you had to have that child also voted down baby formula bills, affordable housing bills, universal healthcare, etc. etc.
What about education? Is there money for college? Can you attend it debt free? Mhmm, no, not so much… again thanks largely to Republicans, plus the Joe Manchins of the world. What about out of college? Safe working conditions? Union rights? Mmmm… Nope. Republicans again, plus some democrats who have forgotten about working class folks. But Bernie and AOC got your back and Biden does too, though he needs that extra push because he believes those Republicans will listen to their better angles.
Yet, those same Republicans held the door for the semi-automatic and the expanded magazine and the unending hatred and bile and incitement that has become the norm of the radical conservative Republican in the state house, the state senate, the town council, the Fox news channel, the OAN network, the hate monger on YouTube, and the podcast creator advocating bloodshed with lies. Once some “poor”, “mad”, “mentally unstable”, “misguided” (pick your excuse…I hear doors are in as the current escape goat) sod turns that hate into action, it is time for the Republican pushers to turn to thoughts and prayers to shroud the scarlet letters they wrote and attempt to wash their hands of the blood of the innocent.
