Oh yeah? Well he can go fuck himself. It's none of his business what married couples decide. Fuck him and his fascist religion. Edit: spelling
If you're a woman and vote to put any Republican in power in this country, no matter how small or local, you must be insane.
From the conservative women I know, it's because they don't think these Draconian laws will ever apply to them...which is just characteristic of them.
They don't think abortion should be legal because they can control their own sexual activities. If women (i.e. slutty liberals) want to have sex then they should be ~~punished~~ blessed with a child.
Women conservatives are just conservatives. They don't think the law will apply to them.
...or hoping that backing/marrying a powerful man will mean the leopards won't eat YOUR face.
I get your point, but let's not imply that it's only women's job to vote Republicans out. Policies detrimental to women diminish and damage the whole country and that's everyone's responsibility.
I don't think anyone was saying all the responsibility belongs to women. I think they were saying that women, among other targeted groups, should have extra motivation to vote these people out.
He doesn't like divorce because he doesn't want to be single. His wife didn't even show up to his event.
Someone actually married this guy?
Wait for real? His wife wasn't there?
It was 14 hours between his nomination and the speech. According to NPR , she couldn't get a flight. Dude is still an assclown.
I still run into men all the time that lament no fault divorce as being one of the worst things that ever happened in this country (along with Roe and women being able to have their own bank account/credit line, of course).
Please refer them to this comment next time you run into them:
Y'all are some punk ass bitches. Grow up and stop being a weak-kneed, cowardly, controlling asshole. If you want someone to love you, then be worthy of their love.
I didn't like divorce either until I understood why my parents got one.
Yeah I didn't get it when I was a kid, but turns out my mom was a fucking lunatic so 👍
Einstein was wrong. Time travel has to be possible. I came here expecting ppl to pile onto the guy. Instead, I get debates about divorce like it was 1855!
You Americans are a wild bunch, I tell ya.
And to the people about to comment that I should not inject myself into debates into U.S. politics as foreigner: I'll stop that the moment this community gets renamed to USpolitics.
'Murican here. Given that our politics are absolutely fucked, I'd say keep the constructive foreign insight coming.
This is very on brand for republicans. It is part of the overall plan to create Gilead (that SHOULD be an exaggeration but... if anything it is an understatement). The idea being that women are property.
And plenty of others. The goal is to make women property that can't escape or ever say no.
And the idea of a man wanting to leave a woman? Just kill the bitch and get a new wife. Or fuck your daughter.
Why is it anytime one of these republicans opens their mouth I know they’re going to say something infuriatingly regressive, backwards, and going to try to fuck someone over with their view?
I think you just defined conservatism.
The great thing about democracy is that you can have a personal opinion about a particular issue, and still defend the rights of people to act in opposition to your opinion, because those actions do not infringe on the rights of anyone else.
Unfortunately (yes, I am about to say it again), the House is controlled by the American Fascist Party.
America is fascinating. Just a giant church of hypocrisy with a tonne of guns
The most powerful man in the House doesn't like ~~divorce~~ women
Yeah he’s a giant piece of shit. He better hope he doesn’t end up on https://gayhomophobe.com after getting caught with a rent boy. The louder someone hates and complains, the more they have to hide.
Just fucking end marriage. It's fucking archaic. When two people become partners they enter a business partnership . That's it. It should be treated as such.
