To cripple us so we can’t fight Russia when Putin rolls harder and drops bombs faster into Ukraine. We’ll have no money, no allies on the ground, GDP devastated, the public broken and terrified, protests criminalized as antisemitic somehow. That’s all I can think of, motive-wise.

Democrats want to shove off trans people because Democrats don’t have a consistent message like this. They know Republicans are going to ask the question because *they* know Democrats don’t have an answer. So why don’t Democrats come up with an answer?

Girls endure more social pressure than boys. Telling jokes is the height of social risk. You jump in and interrupt whatever’s going on. What if nobody laughs? What if people think I’m weird? Part of hiring more women in comedy is encouraging girls to do it early

The left version would/should be powered by outrage -- what Republicans are doing to trans kids, veterans, Science-as-a-Thing. To say "How fucking dare you." If I asked who's the angriest media figure on the Right, you'd have a lot to choose from. The angriest person on the Left? Not so much.

That's what they want to replace. White Christians don't want young girls to have access to education about women's health care. They don't want girls to escape marriage, rape, and repetitive childbirth. To prevent pregnancies. To view their ladyparts as something other than wicked or property.

You cannot believe something without also thinking it's true. Try believing in pink elephants. You can't. You can say "I believe," but that has no bearing on what you actually think about that belief and how you actually act/behave based on a belief which you suppose to be true.
