I saw the video of a Palestinian-Canadian nurse giving a poor review to an MRE that had been dropped into Gaza by the US. His English was impeccable. He appeared to be healthy & well fed, so I can understand why he would turn his nose up at food meant to be eaten under conditions where cooking real food is impossible.
It raised the question of how he managed to come into possession of this food he didn’t want or need, if half of Gaza is starving. Apparently he bought it from someone who must be taking enough MREs to have plenty to sell. I wonder what group could do that? I wonder why they’d make sure it would go to this guy, who could post a video for the English speakers of the world to see.
This isn’t a divisive issue for Americans. Only extreme wingnuts want politicians involved in the decision to end a pregnancy, so Republicans resort to lies & disinformation to focus on a tiny number of late term abortions that are invariably heartbreaking stories. We see the same effect of their equating a zygote with a living, breathing person in the states where IVF clinics are closing.
“Now, if I don’t get elected, it’s going to be a bloodbath for the whole – that’s gonna be the least of it. It’s going to be a bloodbath for the country. That’ll be the least of it.”
Your theory has a major flaw. Many of the offspring of conservatives & religious fundamentalists look at the society of tolerance & individual freedom advocated by the left & join it because they’re born LGBTQ at the same rates as everyone else & a lot more of them recognize the rank hypocrisy of patriarchal control.
An of course, a lot of left leaning people have kids, too. The single biggest factor of having kids & bigger families, is income. The Republicans have let family incomes stagnate since Reagan, while the investing class & people who talk for a living have kept all productivity growth for themselves.
