The same Republicans railing against abortion in the name of being "pro-life" oppose:

—A living wage
—Climate action
—Gun safety
—Mask mandates
—Universal health care
—Home-care for the elderly
—Food stamps
—Ending the death penalty

The GOP is not pro-life.

@rbreich They are anti-choice. Clearly, they are not pro-life.

@rbreich Question still remains, if you’re not part of that nazi party with all their gaslighting, sexism, racism etc, what are you planning on doing about it???

Just going to sit there, post smart comments, let them continue brainwashing the majority and hope for the best?

We need to protest. Day after day, week after week, month after month, with rotating groups of protesters. Group A of a thousands people then group B of a thousand people take over letting A rest, Group C, etc. that’s how Iran banned the morality police.

We need to demand mass change.

You are groomed and conditioned to accept 8hrs as fair working standard, but if you take the time to do the math, you’re only left with 2hrs, maybe 3hrs, to yourself, per day (forget that if you have kids), while working for meager wages. All the while, they’re collecting record breaking profits from this exploitation. You get to enjoy your life 96/365 (weekends. 1 day a week (48/365) if you do chores from the week on one of those days), the rest goes to their profits.

From door to door and back, after meal prep and eating, you’re left with 2-3hrs to yourself, unless you want to be haggard and have less sleep. Why? So they can exploit you more? Does that seem right to you? You might only have 1 chance to experience life and this is how you want it to go? Think about that for a minute.

Voting was plan A, plan B is to organize protests. We have seen through history that when people come together (which politicians, capitalists/fascists and corporations have been working 365 days to ensure you don’t) that change takes place. It happened in 1800s when ppl demanded a change from the 11-13hr work shifts to 8hrs.

With terrible wages, terrible education systems, awful food prices and advertisements, fascist social interaction and behavior (superior/inferior, alpha/beta, better than/less than to keep you fighting each other rather than band together for change) to keep you subservient, sickly, pressed, fighting and ego battling each other, while blaming YOU for unsustainability, economic disasters and environmental problems, all the while exploiting and damaging all those things through the process of maintaining profits and exploitation.

You want the rest of your life to be this? You have to organize and protest by the thousands at the capital, day after day, week after week, month after month with rotating groups of protesters. You will be doomed to fascism otherwise, especially at the rate that they’re gerrymandering, exploiting loopholes, bribing and coercing politicians, you cant JUST rely on voting.

An eight-hour work day has its origins in the 16th century Spain,[1] but the modern movement dates back to the Industrial Revolution in Britain, where industrial production in large factories transformed working life. At that time, the working day could range from 10 to 16 hours, the work week was typically six days a week and the use of child labour was common.[2][3] The first country that introduced the 8-hour work day by law for factory and fortification workers was Spain in 1593.[1] In contemporary era, it was established for all professions by the Soviet Union in 1917.[4]

In 1864, the eight-hour day quickly became a central demand of the Chicago labor movement. The Illinois General Assembly passed a law in early 1867 granting an eight-hour day but it had so many loopholes that it was largely ineffective. A citywide strike that began on 1 May 1867 shut down the city's economy for a week before collapsing.

In August 1866, the National Labor Union at Baltimore passed a resolution that said, "The first and great necessity of the present to free labor of this country from capitalist slavery, is the passing of a law by which eight hours shall be the normal working day in all States of the American Union. We are resolved to put forth all our strength until this glorious result is achieved."

Take the time and imagine what your day is going to be like if you worked 5hrs max, when you would get home and how much extra time you would have per day, you’ll even have time to take classes to learn something new and get better jobs, or take on a hobby. Split shifts would create more jobs and keep businesses open later. You would be less anxious at work waiting for the clock to run out, and your mood would be better day to day, which means ppl will be less frustrated with each other, leading to less aggression in general.

Now remind yourself what it’s like now. What it’s like now is what causes drug and alcohol abuse, where people want to escape the long hours drudgery, meager wages and exploitation. Corporations/capitalists/fascists made the same arguments back then, about changing work hours and wages, as they will now. Exercise your first amendment right, especially now!

Protest with signs that have these tags> #5HrsMaxWorkDays #LivableWages #UniversalHealthcare #ProgressiveEducationSystems
#QualityEducationSystems
#AffortableEducationSystems
#CertifiedBCorporations

@rbreich all they want to do is hurt marginalized people. That’s their brand now.
@rbreich The GOP members follow the 'Hitler Playbook': Take 'One Side' of an argument then immediately 'SWITCH' to the other side of that argument!

@rbreich

Their opposition to abortion is causing women to die of pregnancy complications.
The GQP are murderers.

@rbreich

Pro-profit, pro-control and pro-insurrection.

@rbreich they mean pro-life for those they can control
@rbreich GOP is pro-subjugation and oppression. It's crystal clear to anyone with two brain cells to rub together.
@rbreich They also voted against Bill H.R.7790 - Infant Formula Supplemental Appropriations Act, 2022. ALL of them voted no.
@rbreich They aren’t even pro-Democracy.
@rbreich the gop is the biggest scam in the present USNA
@rbreich If they have it their way, no one would be left to vote them out, and they always win! Whom would they blame then?
@rbreich
They are not pro life. They are anti abortion.
@rbreich They're Pro Control over women, Pro-Abusing Trans kids, Pro-Segregation, Pro-Birth, they're many things, but "Pro Life" is a masquerade for words that make you sound bad.
@rbreich truly not for the people

@rbreich

-Define what a "living wage" even is?

Climate action on what? So--called climate scientist cannot even make up their mind, or have made it political (see enclosed images) .

Think those are just memes?
In an episode of "In Search of..." (Hosted by "Spock"), one episode covered climate change. As the Time cover indicated, the show was about a coming ice age. There was an interview by one of those very climate scientists from the U of Colorado saying one was coming because of evidence he said he found. That same person is still today at the U of Colorado, and he sure has flipped. Why is that?

-Gun Safety? There already many gun safety laws in place. So not sure what you mean by that.

--Mask mandates? Why? "My Body my choice?" "Personal responsibility?" Sweden went about like nothing different in 2020 and fared no different than even authoritarian Australia which massive locks downs, vax requirements, and mask mandates. Did you hear about the plane full of Latter-day Saint missionaries ? All of them were from, Kiribati. The only place in world which did not have coronavirus because the restricted entry into the island nation. They were finally allowed to return back to their country via plane. All of them were tested prior to getting on the plane, and could not test positive, so-called "vaccine" required, and mask mandates were enforced. When the plane landed, 36 tested positive. So not sure what you expect to accomplish with something which clearly does not work.

—Universal health care? Democrats controlled the Executive and Legislative branches of government for two years. Instead what did they do? They gave , what, $50 billion to Ukraine? What happened to their promises of passing another Child Tax Credit (which has since expired), or that promise of an extra $200 a month in social security payments to recipients? They did not even cover healthcare as an issue at all. Instead they spent their time on manufactured impeachment charges., and giving aid to other countries.

-Home-care for elderly? Give an example?

--Food stamps? That is supposed to be a safety net, not a way of life. But since you are mentioning a "living wage,"
I am sure if working people who were eligible to receive them, but were not would probably have to consider where they worked. Businesses would have to pay more. Wages have already gone up since 2020 quite a bit due to a worker shortage.

—Ending the death penalty? Why should they? Sure , if there is some doubt they did it a death penalty crime, but there is is enough evidence to convict. Sure, not death penalty, but if there is overwhelming evidence like something done in public, video evidence, or DNA evidence. Then why not?

And lastly, what is wrong with saving the life of a baby? That seems to me Democrats are no pro-life.

Maybe it's time to teach responsibility instead of the government for everything?

@KNERD @rbreich take your fascist, arrogant, racist, sexist, self entitled, gaslighting, nazi/capitalist/fascist bullshit out of here. No one wants to hear your arrogant gaslighting garbage, and no one with a brain will.

@KNERD

tldr
Also, too insane to contemplate.

@rbreich forced-birth not pro-life. Once you're born they don't give a crap.
@rbreich The "pro-life" crowd are only "pro-birth"...
@rbreich
I'm sure this is very near and dear to your heart, but not everyone on mastodon lives in the US. Please use a uspol CW for this kind of toot.
@rbreich The GOP is as "PRO LIFE" as any murdering dictator is...

@rbreich the GOP is pro-birth, no exceptions for medical needs. They are not for pre-natal care, coverage for labor and delivery or healthcare any time after up to death. If you have an employer with coverage or rich, you get care. They always want to cut Social Security, Medicare with onerous requirements to get Medicaid, oppose expanding it, more

https://www.commondreams.org/views/2022/08/26/student-loan-debt-american-malignancy-born-ronald-reagan

Student Loan Debt Is an American Malignancy Born of Ronald Reagan

Angry about student loan debt forgiveness? Blame Ronald Reagan for making it necessary, not Joe Biden for starting to correct a moral wrong.

Common Dreams
@rbreich pro-misery would be a better description. Increase the number of people that are living in misery.
@rbreich To be precise, the death penalty is post birth abortion. There is no other way to frame it. If you truly believe in a rigth to life you will in no way support the death penalty.
@rbreich lest we forget they also want to cut Medicaid, which provides for healthcare for children in foster care. Those same children many people were/are being forced to have and can’t support, or have significantly “damaged” by bringing to this planet
