I really didn't. @Agema a while back wrote he did while I thought Republicans were just playing lip service to the rubes. This NPR podcast agrees that is the way it WAS. That a single issue voter who is pro-choice could still vote for a pro-lifer thinking on that issue, there was nothing the pro-lifer would or could do with Roe in place. This take on the matter describes changes that made it impossible for the Republicans to continue this game:
I changed my mind insurrectionists, have at him.
Sure, but we can't actually pinpoint what those are specifically. You could do that with religion I guess, but this is the issue here isn't it, people doing things because of their definition of good, but others disagree with that action.

So they're gonna say they're up for impeaching them for lying under oath to the Senate, right? RIGHT?Roe v Wade: senators say Trump supreme court nominees misled them
Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh said they would not overturn landmark abortion ruling, Susan Collins and Joe Manchin say
Fuck off, senators.
And Manchin and Collins believed them, when anyone with two brain cells that had ever met knew that they were lying and that there would never be any repercussions for it if they were installed to the court.Roe v Wade: senators say Trump supreme court nominees misled them

Fuck off, senators.
If abortion is not on the statute books, it is de facto legal. The base assumption is that a person can do anything the law does not prohibit without sanction. The Constitution does not "guarantee" someone can do something, it prevents certain things from being prohibited.
True: but on the GQP side, Cheney will get primary'd and be replaced by someone more authoritarian, who the Republican voters will then dutifully turn out for. If Cheney were a Democrat, and Dem voters didn't like her.. they'd just stay home and she'd be replaced by a Republican.
Hate, and fear, is a powerful motivator. Basically everything the republicans do is motivated either by hatred or fear, hatred of other races and classes, fear that they might not be able to retain their priviledged place in society.
Exactly. It leaves whether or not someone uses it purely up to personal desire and societal pressure rather than law officers.
That isn't really how it works. Like look at Manchin, he's gained the most popularity of any politician, his seat is pretty secure no matter what democrats want and if it wasn't then there would be an R there, progressives tried to primary him and lost, hard. We have seen people like Lieberman swap parties, but Manchin still has a D next to his name.
I disagree. Manchin and Collins knew these fucks were lying under oath. They just don't care.
I mean, step one would probably be to stop running candidates who talk about how much they loved Ronald Reagan. Might energize the left a bit
It really doesn't help when one of the "heroes" of the party just came out to say jackboots making over $50k a year is not enough and need a raise.
