The Fugitive Slave Act was passed 11 years before the Civil War started. I’m not sure we’ll have that long.
Huh. The people always jibber-jabbering about “freedom” and “liberty” don’t mean a fucking word of it. Just like how they do all that performative “patriotism” and are the most traitorous and are the ones that hate this country more than anyone, possibly even more than the likes of OBL.
Yup… this is really “leave it up to the states” and “personal freedom” oriented.
Just in case you’re new to life the GOP never gives a shit about the rules or norms they complain are being broken… They’re absolutely full of shit.
My favorite is when they’ve been crying all these crocodile tears over the plight of women under Shariah Law and so on - Republicans: “OMG! women cannot even drive in Saudi Arabia! You should be glad we are trying to make you worship the Lord here in Jesustan in the way we interpret the very same source material!”
Also Republicans: “We need to keep these womenfolk from travelin’ outside our Gilead states to more free states. Because freedom and Jesus”.
(They do the same crocodile tears over treatment of Teh Gheyz under extremist Islamic rule, too, by the way)
The reality is, when they bitch about “creeping Shariah Law” is that they are jealous that another brand of an Abrahamic cult might outdo them at their own game, but just call the god they both worship (which is Allah/Yahweh/Jehovah) by a name they don’t really appreciate all that much.
Can we give this couch fucker a 12 gauge enema, or does that count as a cruel and unusual punishment. Ya know what I dont care im an Inland Imperial morals are for men stronger than me.
The number of women who vote republican given the way some of these people talk indicates one of these scenarios:
— those women are experiencing Stockholm syndrome of some kind
— they sincerely believe the same shit, and think they’ll somehow escape the reality they want to impose on others
— they sincerely believe that women should have less rights than men
— or the worst scenario: they’re in some unsafe and vulnerable position in their family, and will experience poverty or death if they don’t espouse the same nonsense
I think the only way to break out of any of these scenarios is to show real life examples and stories of what happens to women in ultra conservative or repressive societies.
Theres no shortage of sad stories in either history or current affairs, women who vote republican don’t appreciate the gravity of the hell they’re going to unleash on themselves.
Edit to include some examples, western women shouldn’t think they’re immune to these sad things if they elect regressive politicians

They have banned girls and women from education above the sixth-grade level. They’ve banned women from most employment. They’ve imposed severe restrictions on women and girls to travel and even leave their homes. They’ve banned women and girls from competitive sports.

I always picture that women in Handmaid’s Tale - Serena Joy. The first name should become a thing, just like a “Karen” has - the term Serena should be used for women that vote against their own best interests because they are incredibly myopic and just so filled with hatred for others that they don’t understand the danger voting for qons presents to themselves…
