Everyone wants to act like a gangster, that is, until a real one shows up. Odd things you learn in adolescence.

But if a state tries to pass gun laws, those same "states rights" people lose their minds. What about all the women in the military or married to someone in the military who don't get to choose what state they live in? TBH, the state I live in would absolutely re-institute slavery and/or take away the right to vote for entire groups of people if they could. Absolute state rights is better in theory than practice. And the feds would still have influence. If the fed gov't / president doesn't agree with a state law, they could withhold federal funding from that state until it's changed, effectively directing state laws. Funny that you think Dems are going off the deep end when Republicans are the ones blowing up cybertrucks and breaking into the capitol to defecate on desks.

We're a constitutional republic, not a democracy. We've been a constitutional republic for over 200 yrs. Republicans want less federal govt involvement and give the power back to the states. When the power is in the hands of the states, voters make the decisions instead of the federal govt deciding for us. Republicans have turned more Libertarian. Liberal media has brainwashed people into thinking we're all going to die. Abortion rights weren't taken, the power was given to each state to decide where they are/aren't legal. Want an abortion? Vote for it in your state. Ever notice how liberals tend to have tons of diagnosed mental illnesses? Dems know its easy to prey on the weak, they're being pumped full of extreme propaganda. So many have gone off the deep end, some by unaliving themselves and their families....over an election....

Oprah doing an interview and co-authoring a book about how money doesn't buy happiness is rich. I'm sure the people whose kids are dying because they can't afford medicine or food would disagree with you.

The Orange Turd has been found liable! Now on to the criminal cases!!

I hate all the pro-choice arguments that cite "good" reasons for abortion like rape, incest, life of the mother, etc. Any reason a woman chooses is a good reason. I'm 50 years old. When I was 24, I had an abortion. I had a really good job, insurance, and had known the father for years. You know why I had an abortion? Because I wanted one. I didn't want to be a mother yet. You know what else? It wasn't the hardest decision of my life. In fact, it wasn't hard at all. I wasn't depressed afterwards. It didn't take me long to get over it. The only thing I felt after my abortion was relief. That was it. Had it done and went about my business. It didn't affect my health, mental or otherwise. I went on to eventually get married and have two great kids. Never once regretted my abortion.

Step One: Indict the Orange Idiot ✔️

My niece got some sneakers that light up for Christmas. Her grandmother was admiring them and said something like, "I bet you can't wait to wear those to school." And my niece said she can't wear them to school because if there's a shooter and she needs to hide, they would give her away. She is 7, y'all. SEVEN. And this is what she needs to think about. Christmas in America.

At 31 years old, I voted Dem for the first time today. My religious trauma nearly has me convinced I'm going to be dragged to hell, and my Southern upbringing has me concerned I'm going to be dragged off to prison LOL. But I did it. Being in a red state, I doubt it helped, but one can hope.

I just saw a news story that said the Republicans will take over the House in November UNLESS young voters turn out in higher numbers than they expect. So many close races means EVERY VOTE MATTERS. If Republicans take over, abortion WILL be abolished nationally. What's scarier is that voting rights will be taken away nationally. That means if you regret not voting because abortion rights are eliminated or birth control is eliminated (also something they said they want to do), it will be too late. They will literally pass laws making sure it's damn near impossible to ever vote them out again. That is scary AF. GO VOTE! NO EXCUSES!
