      Janequa’s got lost. Logan’s fine, though, he got his mail-in ballot today.

      How many times have you sent in something through the mail to pay a bill, or something like that, and it “slipped through the cracks”?

        Women’s, minorities etc….

        Not PEOPLE, since women and minorities are “objects” and don’t qualify as people

        (Kidding obviously)

          Not so much, the fall of Roe pushed all women back towards the object role. Baby incubators with life support systems attached, over being actual, equal people.

            Yeah, that was the joke I was trying to make.

            “Minorities and women are objects”

            Sadly in the current political climate it’s both a joke and scathing indictment

      It’s the real reason a whole lot of red states are not purple states. That dam is starting to burst beyond their ability to hold it back, though, which is why they’re getting desperate and violent about it. Their backs are to the wall for real now.

        This has been my interpretation for many years now. They got away with the fact that the public was apathetic for many decades, mostly because the times were good for most Boomers. Now people are motivated and all the cheap tricks they used in the past are no longer enough to keep the sentiment at bay. They WILL lose here but it’s a question of how long it takes and how nasty it gets.
