They know they’re wrong on EVERYTHING. But they also know their voting base doesn’t care. And that’s where the money is.

SouthernOcean , to Politics in Republicans Are Wrong on Abortion—and They Know It

People are making a mistake about viewing Republicans as a block. The way conservatives work is that a single issue is enough to get them to vote for the party.

If that single issue is being against abortion, then the GOP stance gets their support. But if their concerns are gun control or immigration control, they will overlook the disagreement on abortion rights because it probably doesn’t affect them directly.

Most accurate take.

Oh they are. It’s just that when they say that, they mean government should be composed entirely of a small clique of their own choosing.

You know, fascism.

Could not agree more.

it’s not about right or wrong – it’s about power. the Republicans understand that and the Democrats are doing their best to hide that fact from their constituents. you’re not going to convince anyone on the right with moral arguments.

If it was about power, they'd take their fucking hand off the third rail.

They've done nothing but lose elections since Roe v. Wade was unjustly overturned.

The scariest thing to me was when they talked about invading Mexico 👀

Excuse me, what the fuck?

AstralWeekends ,

Here’s a quote from a Washington Post blog/summary article.:

Would you, co-moderator Martha MacCallum asked DeSantis, support sending American Special Forces over the southern border to take out the cartels that produce fentanyl, a synthetic opioid thought to be the leading cause of death for Americans 18-49. “Yes,” he replied confidently. “And I will do it on Day One.” “Would I use force? Would I treat them as foreign terrorist organizations? You’re damn right I would,” he continued.

Damage ,

Cool. Hopefully he meant with the permission of the Mexican government.

Dubious_Fart ,

You know he didnt. Cause he wants to provoke war.

Republcians love war. it makes them feel all tingly in their daddy bad touch no no parts. and enriches their benefactors.

No shit, but I thought we were past this ‘save the planet’ crap. The planet is a giant rock and soon to be a marginally hotter rock. We’re talking about saving millions of human lives.

oh man yeah that is what blows me away. And the question was from some young conservative environmental activist group. They might as well have said that the youth of the world should never vote for their party. Its like only the one woman was willing to say it was real but was still all wuuuhhh china, india, wuuuhhh

I hope they’re ready for a life of disappointment.

So, you want things to change or to stay the same?

Them: yes.

I want to point out that they denied climate change while in Milwaukee, which set a record high temperature of 101°F the day of the debate, with a heat index of 115°F.

The average high temperature over the past 30 years is 80°F

No wonder the audience started to boo.

At the heart of the modern Republican party is a vested interest to grift.
