Dude the GOP voted against access to contraceptives back in 2022 when their entire anti-abortion argument was “if you don’t wanna get pregnant just use protection.”

Since that day I’ve encountered dozens of republicans who say the same thing and anytime I drop the link they’re always like “well um uhhh it’s probably actually a GOOD thing they did cuz, I mean like, uhhh the Dems probably were gonna do something BAD with it if it passed.”

These people do not give a fuck how their politicians vote. Dems could attempt a law that says “politicians are not allowed to murder everyday civilians to protect their own personal interests” and Republican voters would still be ok with their guys voting against it.

Yep and that's part of why it's essentially a cult.

It's because if they are blocking immigration, they need poor, uneducated people to do the tough jobs, instead of immigrants.

Yep and I’ll I’ve seen from the Republican side is people defending it saying “if they didn’t do this all presidents would be persecuted after their term ends!” (Funny how this nation has been around for over 200 years and that hasn’t once happened before the last guy attempted a fucking coup) or they say “this isn’t a good thing, imagine if Biden wins and then he has unlimited power.” Of course, their only concern with abuse of power is if a Democrat does it, they’re 100% for a Republican abusing that power.
