Liberals are the eldest children of politics. They get all the praise and attention, mainly for doing what their parents say.

Conservatives are the babies of politics. They get what they want by being insufferably annoying.

Progressives are the middle children. They're supposed to go along with everything and not complain that their siblings get all the attention.

Prichard, who has previously called on conservative states to “put into code that Jesus Christ is King and dedicate their state to Him,”

That’s all you really need to know right there. Just another Christian Nationalist fuckhead trying to rally the heard herd* of angry rubes.

Nastybutler,

I think you mean “herd”

Apparently I too am a rube when it comes to spelling first thing in the morning 🌄 🙃 😅

Lifekraft,

More a supremacist than a nationalist at this point

thechadwick,

Starting to think that maybe these guys aren’t too big on the whole “respecting elections” thing…

Maybe they’re not on the up and up after all?

“Responding to Tuesday’s election outcomes, House Republican Marjorie Taylor Greene, a GOP hardliner, urged anti-abortion campaigners to produce more graphic adverts to demonstrate that “abortion kills lives.””

I wonder how many she has had with her extra martial activities over the years? 🤔

“Republican dislikes democracy” could be the title of almost any article about almost any Republican and it’d still be correct.

Rep. Brandon Prichard (R-ND)

Direct democracy should not exist. Case-in-point: Ohio legalizing the slaughter of babies. It would be an act of courage to ignore the results of the election and not allow for the murder of Ohio babies. We are probably 10 years away from this opinion being acceptable though.

So just to be clear, Republican Congressmen are saying that they have a 10 year plan to do away with democracy?

paddirn,

We’ll be back to “pro-life” extremists murdering doctors and patients… to save lives of course.

elrik,

The use of the word “allow” here betrays his real belief, that he thinks he is in a position of power to rule over his constituents and decide for them what they are allowed or not allowed to do.

I was thinking even worse, that he’s making a call to action for his fellow “patriots” to take things into their own hands.

Crashumbc,

GOP, has been becoming more radical every year. Soon they’ll have martyrs like Muslims.

they’ve had them for years now, it’s rhetoric like this that creates lone wolf terrorists

Nastybutler,

The fact that a party that has deified an adulterous, lecherous, lying, vulgar fraudster thinks it has any moral high ground on any subject is laughable

captainlezbian,

Oh yay I’m going to be getting a lot of really gross and inaccurate billboards and YouTube ads.

captainlezbian,

Yeah I would not be surprised if they just re-ban marijuana. Abortion though, that’s not gonna succeed. It’s a constitutional amendment that won by over 10 points after a lot of underhanded attempts to kill it. If they succeed at this then they sever the final sliver of democracy in Ohio.

Uniquitous,

They don’t want to govern, they want to rule.

A Republican state representative in North Dakota has urged authorities in Ohio to "ignore the results" of Tuesday's election

So it's an idiot from some other State trying to tell Ohio what and what not to do. Gotcha.

They did that in South Dakota when they voted to legalize recreational Marijuana. The governor used a single-subject technicality and anti-mariuana geriatric judges agreed. Then two years and millions of dollars in smear campaigns later they had a rematch that soundly defeated recreational use when it was voted on again.

conditional_soup,

I watched the debate last night and half of those chucklefucks were like “I’M SO UPSET, WHY WOULD DEMOCRACY DO THIS, WE HAVE TO INTERVENE”. Points to Christie (who, I believe, is trying to present himself as wide Biden) for actually sticking to his guns on the State’s Rights rhetoric.

Of course, Christie is trying to be reasonable, so he has about a dollar’s chance in a strip club of making it out of the primary.

Eldritch,

So Widen?

captainlezbian,

Jokes on them, they already intervened. They just failed at it

Neuromancer49,

So a republican in NORTH DAKOTA tweeted that OHIO should ignore the election? Correct me if I’m wrong, but that doesn’t seem like the concerted push to overturn the election that I expected when reading that headline.

drmcnugget,

A democratically elected representative is saying that another group of elected representatives should ignore the results of an election and that doesn’t strike you as concerning?

Neuromancer49,

Fair point. But, I think the headline was a but sensationalized. Or, I’m just bad at reading, which is possible.

Republicans are regressive on democracy and human rights.
