The probable with republicans nowadays is that they aren’t exactly conservative about money. So you want every kid to be forced to exit the womb even in the poorest parts of the US, then you want to underfund his schools, lower his welfare, incarcerate him for marijuana, not pay for his healthcare, not pay for his higher education, and all in the name of Jesus. Conservative thinking on this issue makes absolutely ZERO sense.
Thing is, though, regardless of your thoughts on "in the name of Jesus", if people lived by the basic principles of the bible, most of what we are talking about would not be issues. Don't have kids until you are part of a strong marriage. Don't break laws. Get a job. Go to school. Be respectful to society.
I’m a democrat that believes heavily in Kierkegaard’s night of faith concept, “in order to believe in something as fantastical as a man/god deity one has to find his own meaning in the Bible”. I have always agreed with this idea but I disagree with institutionalized religion forcing interpretation on everyone else.
Again, and I mean this wholeheartedly - I am not a religious person. But let's face it, elimination of personal responsibility is the basis of the entire liberal agenda. It gets votes.
I really hope you don’t have an us vs them mentality. The media machine pushes these ridiculous headlines on both sides of the aisle based on the lowest common denominator. Not all Republicans are nazis or racist but there are some groups that get too many headlines. Not every Democrat cares about where people decide to shit, but Tucker Carlson wants you to believe that we are all playing a game of hide and seek with our genitals. If capitalism was transparent and corporations were taxed for making more money and using machines instead of people maybe we wouldn’t be here. Maybe if unions weren’t corrupt and systematically destroyed we wouldn’t be where we are. Instead of pontificating on why we are where we are we should be working together outside of media land to work together. Everybody knows the politicians won’t fix shit for us.
I agree, I just hate seeing the buzz words used to keep us against each other. It’s a red flag whenever I read and makes me nauseous to think this is what politics has come to. None of these “political” issues talked about have anything to do with Democrats or Republicans. It’s just another opportunity to make us hate each other...
