      Did you mean Russia, because the Republicans in the US seem to be marching to the very same tune?

          Is this a troll comment? Republicans literally have a history of attacking womens bodily autonomy. This isn’t a secret.

            Sure, the dictator who windowfalls or poloniumteas anyone that says something he doesn’t like is the same as the party of people who have the worldview that allowing abortion at the doctor is the same as allowing adults to be murdered in the street.

            Not.

            Some day you’ll realize people are brainwashed. Not just other people either, but me, you, your mom, my mom, everyone is to some extent. American Tea Party Republicans have been told their entire lives that abortion and birth control is morally equivalent to shooting someone in the street. Yay for Baby Jeebus. And you believe that terminating a growing series of cells that would turn into a human isn’t murder. They think you’re evil for that. You don’t think you’re evil, and they don’t think they’re evil, you simply share opposing worldviews. That’s why having multiple cultures in a melting pot can be such a clusterfuck… I suppose they call it a melting pot for a reason, and not like, a cohesive utopia.

            Thankfully states like California are stepping up and helping women in states like TX, and we still have federal law on our side. But you can’t have it both ways – you can’t want state laws for things like marijuana and federal laws for things like abortion.

            Local, state, and federal laws exist for a reason. Trust me, the last thing you want is to grant ‘the good guys’ currently in power writing federal law over free and open abortion access. Because then the next ‘bad guys’ will come in and yank that right out. Like they did.

            Separation of church, state, and even more importantly, the branches of government.

            But comparing 200+ different people in power all with differing views on a plethora of ideas to a dictator who brutally and publicly murders anyone who speaks out against him, and lets murders and rapists out of prison (but not his political opponents) as long as they’ll be body bags for a failing war he can’t admit he lost?

            Think more. Read more history and less current news and memes. Please. Your older self will thank you for it.

            There is SO MUCH astroturfing going on today on the internet to sway ideas and ideologies of entire groups of people, even entire political parties and generations. If you asked 1,000 people on he street to sit down and decide what articles/memes/posts were bots, and what was legitimate and organic, I think you’d have a higher detection number rolling dice. https://gvwire.com/2023/11/14/spamouflage-chinas-massive-online-disinformation-campaign-targets-americans/

            ^ That’s just the one that’s beneficial for the West to post about right now. Surely there won’t be similar English articles about Eglin this week.

        Actually came in here to comment that GOP Disneyland (AKA Russia) is apparently going straight down the tubes.
