Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

They didn't care when 1st graders were targeted in a mass shooting. They certainly don't give a fuck about women dying.

They didn't care when their own Emperor of Mankind crushed a blood capsule in his ear

Two women's deaths have been publicly reported on and shown to be attributable to the abortion ban. The actual number of deaths attributable to the abortion ban is much higher.

A thousand women wouldn't be enough. The GOP doesn't give a shit.

It will be enough when one of their daughters needs one...

[–] themadcodger@kbin.earth 23 points 1 month ago (2 children)

I think we need to remember what's important here. Dead women and school children is the price of freedom.

But wearing a mask for ten minutes is tyranny!

/s just in case

But wearing a mask for ten minutes is tyranny!

Unless the mask is used to hide their identity while ~~committing acts of domestic terrorism~~ being patriots

"I felt like I was going to pass out after wearing a mask for 30 seconds. Also, masks do nothing."

Because the cruelty is the point. It was always the point.

Yeah, they hate women. This is success for them.

[–] MyOpinion@lemm.ee 11 points 1 month ago

Just like with gun violence no amount of deaths will turn them from their insanity.

[–] TallonMetroid@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago

Why would they? As far as they're concerned, this is the intended outcome.

[–] corsicanguppy@lemmy.ca 8 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I'm ashamed that I noticed that both victims of GoP cruelty are a visible minority.

But now I can't un-see it.

It's not surprising since the GOP hates women and brown people.

[–] Clent@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

Why would two dead women affect their ideology when dozens upon dozens of dead children has not?

The entire female gender dying off this way wouldn't be enough for the Greedy Old Pricks

[–] Spacehooks@reddthat.com 1 points 1 month ago

Sounds like they want a only male society. hmmm wierd I wonder that would imply.

[–] Sterile_Technique@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

...yeah this is the GOP - women suffering/dying is a feature, not a bug.

Never forget that the cruelty is the point.

[–] gravitas_deficiency@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Nor would two million, to be perfectly frank, if the Nationalist Christians solidify their hold on power.

[–] Spacehooks@reddthat.com 1 points 1 month ago

Fake Christians. Christ would weep at them letting other's suffer unnecessarily.

[–] ravhall@discuss.online 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

What’s the magic number?

[–] Imgonnatrythis@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 month ago

Gotta at least get to 10x school shooting numbers to get these guys to even talk to you.

[–] feedum_sneedson@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Nobody is performing abortions with a plastic coat hanger. Precession of simulacra in real time, that's remarkable.
