The American people are finally beginning to see that, despite their lip service to the contrary, Republicans are not the party of “freedom” or “liberty” for middle class working people.
When conservatives talk about “freedom” or “liberty,” what they mean is “freedom” for ginormous corporations to run roughshod over the rights of workers, consumers and our shared environment, but want to micromanage and dictate control over every aspect of everyone else’s personal lives.
In reality, conservatives want to take away liberty and freedom from everyone else and micromanage every aspect of others’ private lives.
Conservatives are the ones who want to dictate total control over private relationships (dictate who you can or can’t marry or even what behavior is allowed behind closed doors), private medical choices (reproductive choices such as abortion, IVF or contraception, medical or recreational marijuana, end of life choices, stem cell therapies, gender-identity care), tell us what books we or our children can have access to, or try to force PRIVATE religion into PUBLIC policy and religious rituals into public meetings or subsidize it with special tax advantages (socialized religion).
This cartoon is spot on and demonstrates both the hypocrisy and tone deafness of the MAGA-GOP. But, their goal is not to have any need to “read the room,” they want to build a room that only they can play in.
Republicans are a soft (read stupid) touch, they will gladly give up all those things and more just to be in charge. Escapes logic but then.. they are republicans.
I generally favor making voting as easy as possible for as many people as possible, but I’ve gotta wonder how many women mark their absentee ballots with their husbands looking over their shoulders to make sure they do it “right”.
We had a Republican female running for state senate here in Virginia. In the last 12 months before the election she had three different positions on abortion, each position less conservative than the one before. She lost. She lost because enough American people are paying attention. Please keep paying attention. It doesn’t cost anything to pay attention. It will cost a lot if you don’t.

Already bitten them on the backside in Alabama. Well done ladies, it’s a vote for civilising a red state.

When the gop say to women “we want your vote” they mean they want to repeal the 19th amendment.

Republicans are worried the Supremes will ban abortion pills. That will upset a few people.

The GOP used to say they were the party of family values. Now they have no values, morals or ethics.

Never underestimate the power of the lie that plays into the preconceived notions of the “reality” in which these M.A.G.A.(t)s live…
