Say it with me, everybody:

If conservatives become convinced that they can not win democratically, they will not abandon conservatism; they will reject democracy.

-David Frum-

This is so true. They’ve struggled to win democratically for some time now, hence all the gerrymandering and electoral/judicial shenanigans. Coming from someone like David Frum makes it all the more powerful. (This is the axis of evil guy, remember.)

I finally ran up on David Frum (I was a young, ignorant, “politics are boring and dumb” kind of guy back in the Bush II years), and it’s really something seeing him attack the hard/alt right as a “moderate” conservative (I think moderate is actually accurate here). Then again, he’s also a founder of No Labels, who is eying a Joe Manchin run.

Which, I guess makes sense. But still, I hate it. 🤷🏽‍♂️

How incredibly undemocratic

So par for the course for the US right. Bunch of fascist shitheels.

How many pro-life protestors have adopted or fostered kids? My family, which is decidedly pro-choice has adopted 9 kids, fostered 7 overall. The vast hypocrisy is enraging.

I ask anti-choicers how many kids they've adopted all the time. And how many of those kids have special needs. They usually just ignore the questions. Can't imagine why.
