"I'm sad to say I'm a Republican". My best friends uncle said that. He was on the City Council for a number of years. He owns an appliance repair shop, and was over at my moms house to fix a garbage disposal.
Anywho, what he said surprised me. He was mad because Republicans weren't sticking up for trump!
I seriously had to bite my tongue! The last poll I saw showed about a 30% approval rating. It's pretty bad when Fox even calls him a liar!
Just wanted to get that off my chest.
I don't even talk to my Trump-supporting family members. They can't be reached.
@Renickulous Yeah well, I had to listen to my grandpa call Obama the N-bomb for 8 years. Now he supports a lunatic who is doing everything in his power to undo our democracy as we know it.
@Renickulous By giving the country over to the Christian Right?
@Renickulous He's been promising to repeal the Johnson Amendment since he took office, and Roe v Wade is soon to be a thing of the past thanks to that zealot Brett Kavanaugh.
@Renickulous Pretty sure the taxpayers aren't paying for abortions. Planned Parenthood is and always has been barred from using tax dollars to pay for them. Two-thirds of the country wants Roe to remain in place as is. He'll overturn it just to appeal to a lunatic fringe (his evangelical base).
@Renickulous Fetuses aren't babies. Do you really think it's ethical to force someone to piss their life away to become a parent if the condom breaks?
@Renickulous They didn't choose anything. It happened by mistake. To paraphrase Devon.Trecey, Ben Shapiro is an Orthodox Oompa Loompa.
@Renickulous What about rape? Incest? Do you think we should force women who have suffered horrors to become mothers?
@Renickulous You just called the morning-after pill "evil." Jeez. You sound like an evangelical. Are you sure you're on the right site?
@Renickulous Bill Nye the Science Guy argues that embryos aren't people. Priests who molest little boys argue that they are. Who are you really gonna believe?
@Renickulous And they didn't "choose" anything in my scenario. The condom broke. It's no one's fault. People shouldn't be punished for wanting pleasure. What's your solution? Abstinence? Are you sure you're not buddy-buddy with the Christians? And what about the threat of overpopulation? We can't even feed all the people who live on the earth right now. And you wanna force women to bring MORE into this world when they don't have to? Forcing a woman to carry an unviable fetus is a form of slavery and abortion laws hurt women. I give priority/choice to those who have been alive for several decades.
@Renickulous It isn't all emotion. A woman has a right to choose. The rest of the first world has agreed on this. Why can't we?
@Renickulous No it shouldn't be illegal. It's none of your business.
@Renickulous I'll always be pro-choice because I understand that shit happens. Abortion is a failsafe.
@Renickulous 1 in 4 American women has had an abortion. Do you really think it's fair to call 1 in 4 women "murderers"? Are you some kind of incel?
@Renickulous Do you WANT the prison populations to increase dramatically? Because that's what will happen. Do you want to take us back to a time where women gave themselves coat hanger abortions? America will be The Handmaid's Tale if abortion is criminalized.
@Renickulous You just said that you'd rather have women accidentally kill themselves than keep abortion legal. Congrats on being so "pro-life."
@Renickulous Where in science does it say that a baby is created the split second the sperm fertilizes the egg? You belong in church, not among atheists.
@Renickulous When it can survive on its own.
@Renickulous For the last time, it isn't a baby.
@Renickulous The fetus doesn't even remotely resemble a baby during the first trimester, which is when most abortions occur.

@Renickulous If it can't feel pain, and fetuses DON'T, then it isn't human.
@Renickulous Speaking of sociopaths, are you really so obtuse as to believe that considering all the women our cunt-in-chief claims to have fucked throughout the 80s, that he's never paid for an abortion before? What about that anti-abortion politician last year who was caught texting his mistress and urging her to get one? Pro-lifers are such hypocrites.
@Renickulous Learn to respect women's bodily autonomy.
@Renickulous You should break free of the pro-life cult. Seriously. People like you only want babies to be born, not clothed, fed and housed. And apparently you don't care if our president is raping because you just blatantly ignored all the sexual harassment allegations against him. Also, do you even think women should have a right to get their tubes tied?
@Renickulous The way you demonize women who make a very difficult choice which you and I will never be able to relate to. ttyl.
you can always change your voter registration
I myself is a registered Democrat. I should change it to Libertarian. I don't think it makes a whole lot of difference what you are registered as.
@TheGreatShadow Depending on your state is does if you want to vote in the primaries.
