This isn't MAGA, this base Republicanism.
Don't pretend that Republicans without MAGA are redeemable.
Yeah MAGA is actually convenient for the GOP. They can use the media characterization of MAGA to distract from the fact that MAGA is pushing for all the same things the GOP do. There's really no functional distinction between GOP with MAGA and without it. MAGA only involves Trump worship and open adoption of fascist ideology and conspiracies.
I’m sure they would like to distance themselves from his name just in case Trump crashes and burns in ‘24. Like so they can pretend they’re back to being the good guys.
I can't believe they're using the fucking Comstock Act. That's what they used to use to ban porn magazines. Fucking insane.
Don't think for a second they're not coming (pun intended) for your porn.
If the Republicans have their way, everyone would be governed by their conservative "morals".
Hell, the speaker of the house even has a weird porn checker app that he shares with his "accountability partner" - his son. Source
Oh they probably are, but this is like stuff people were getting prosecuted for in the 1930s. That's the law they're digging up.
They remind me of a certain 30's dictator
"C'mon ladies we should believe them when they say they're just going to stop with Roe"
Anyone else remember how he couldn’t give a shit about this until it Fox News turned fertile women into the enemy of all the cowardly conservative voters?
This asshole is fishing for votes. Just like the rest of the blowhard pieces of shit. They don’t care about control even a little.
Consider how abortion has been a losing issue in almost every state and almost every election for Republicans.
Republicans don't seem to care about elections anymore.
and soon they won’t have to ever again
I mean, I don't expect the official results of this next election to matter in the least. It's going to end up coming down to civil war and I don't think there's any other options.
Just a reminder to women out there who use a period tracker app, law enforcement already has nearly unfettered access to your monthly cycle data and can use it to track you.
I don't menstruate, so I have never use this apps, but looks like F-Droid have a free software one that I guess dosen't share your info over: log28 (A simple no-frills period tracker) https://f-droid.org/packages/com.log28/
