GOP is going to get in outbidding competitions for who can be most punitive toward women. In some states, Proud Boys and such are now competitors for anti-abortion rights activists. I bet even they didn't see that coming. Lock her up!

The GOP has 3 problems as a political party: 1. Their policies aren’t popular 2. policies that are popular w/ one part of party aren’t popular w/ the rest of party 3. Their base won’t allow them to recruit new voters So they don’t do policy & they don’t do voting

A word on this debate over whether conservative women are “hotter.” The answer is definitely yes, but not for the reason you think. It’s because conservative women VALUE our femininity and our immutable differences. We aren’t TRYING to be men. God made us WOMEN. Go us and go men!
