Stripping abortion rights away nationally, imposing their beliefs on every American--that is their true goal. And the GOP won’t stop until it's achieved.

The fact is, the Republican Party has been hijacked by a White Christian nationalist movement that wants to impose its own “morality” on the entire country, not merely red states: https://bit.ly/3WmTdlX

GOP Said States Should Legislate Abortion Then Pushed National Bans

Republicans and right-wing pundits claimed they wanted states to decide on abortion rights, but then they pushed federal legislation for national bans.

@georgetakei so true. We all need to get frank about religion. That's what drives most of the far right. They believe their actions are backed by their god.

@dpscifi @georgetakei It's worse than that. They really don't think at all and just blindly follows anyone waving a bible who plays the act of a preacher.

The major problem we face in this country are the masses of people who must be told by someone else, or a group (Church), how they should think. They are incapable of any type of critical thinking on their own. Research to them is whatever the talking heads on their cable news channel tells them.

Logically, SOMEONE has to be watching all those dumb commercials on TV to make them beneficial for a sponsor so yes, that pretty much proves that we have a TON of gullible people who can be easily influenced to believe anything. And a good, crooked politician knows how to do this well.

I don't know if this is a genetic flaw, or a direct effect of a lousy public educational system we never seem to fix, but the republican party manipulates them for their votes.
