MODERATORS
They don't actually care.
It's about control, not about respecting life.
Don’t a handful of them want votes from people who believe the world is literally 6000 years old?
OK, that would be about control, though political control.
There is probably one Texan legislator, at least, who also believes the 6000 year thing and could pass a lie detector for “do you really believe God breathes souls into life at conception?“
Now… Could they pass a lie detector for “do you promise you would never pay for your mistress to fly out of state for an abortion?“
Can’t say no for sure… 🤥
(Cautioning overestimating malice in a way that underestimates superstition.)
They probably will, but when the time come they'll manage to come up with the perfect excuse why their case is special and deserves an exemption.
Classic
Control and punishment. Until it happens to them or someone they love, then it's a worthwhile exception.
98% of them believe they are part of the in crowd. Not even aware all the bullshit they eat serves a purpose opposite of their interests. It's sad. I feel empathetic toward them as I do any challenged person. Suburban and rural race theory should e studied in nitch college classes.
They do. This is exactly the outcome they want. It was never about saving babies.
They're not trying to kill children, they want workers, it's about keeping people preoccupied with social issues like that so they ignore the wealth hoarding and corruption going on
It's literally just about getting votes by dividing the population so that they can stay in power.
Nothing else actually matters to them as a group.
It's all about winning the popularity contest, and if you can't win because you're actually popular and people like you, the next best thing is to win by making people hate your opponent.
It's all of these really, killing minorities, preventing people from aborting their future workers, dividing people on social issues so they can't come together to fix the system, and doing all that while creating a voterbase that blindly supports them. Dems are pretty similar. They just piggyback off of what the right is doing and say "we won't do that!!" While still quietly letting most of it happen because they're also in it to hoard wealth and power.
They're not not trying to kill children. Which is pretty close to trying to kill children. Not exactly the same. But close enough.
I think that's the emphasis you were going for
Yeah, that’s where it would go. Thank you.
I didn’t have emphasis in mind. I was just trying to make it so the two words were distinct from each other.
