Keep supporting Trump and clowns like MJT and Boebert (who appears to be out) and destroying decent republicans who don't kneel to him and this shit will only get worse. Roe V Wade getting overturned wasn't exactly a benefit for republican odds either.

RE: Election results:

My faith is not placed on a country or human being but rather a Savior that died for me. Election results are disappointing but not unexpected given what we know regarding the depravity of man. It does sadden me to see the choices our country is making as a voting population.

Its even more unbelievable that we have to deal with this at the Presidential level. Trump? Hilary? Biden? These are the best leaders we can come up with for President? The system is crap and we the people are the toilet.
Thing about this is, no normal decent human would want to be a politician. To have to have your name so thoroughly dragged through the mud, just for the chance to serve the government (which let's face it, is essentially a criminal organization) and then to just be constantly lying to people to get them to vote for you. The whole thing is set up to attract sociopaths. The candidates will continue to get worse. America loses every time we have an election.

While I don't disagree, don't confuse career politicians with "the government." Too many people do.

Career politicians run the government. I get it, there are bits and pieces doing some good. But the people at the top make the rules and they're awful.

This is probably true, but that just clarifies how ignorant most of the voting public are. All that decision did was "rightfully" restore state's Constitutional rights to decide matters not covered under the Constitution. There never was a "right" to abortion like the left always claims, and those grandma's they had in the commercials claiming that "the right just wants to take away our rights", was absolutely ridiculously stupid. But most voters don't understand how the Constitution was written, what it says and doesn't say, and how it all works.

In spite of my post-election depression, I must point out the obvious because common sense is apparently not common enough. Regarding Roe v Wade; explain to me why abortion is even an issue nowadays. It’s not the 40s anymore…now we have endless choices in contraceptives, the day-after pill (RU486) and/or unless you are in the business of selling infant baby organs or (like Planned Parenthood) have an agenda to prevent the growth of the African-American population in America, abortion is unnecessary. Don’t take my word for it…listen to the DIRECTOR who revealed the truth about Planned Parenthood. Their name should be Black Lives Don’t Matter cuz they are killing em wholesale. If you think abortion is a right and Planned Parenthood is a good thing after watching this video…congratulations, you are a racist idiot. Got a logical argument? I’ll wait.

If you are okay with this...you are not okay. It's not about "...a woman's body or her right to choose..." because it isn't her body being destroyed and her body parts being sold.

There's a much more evil (Democrat-based) agenda here.

Even if the Left was successful is USING this "issue" to their benefit...the decision is still the right one and sometimes there's an unjust price to be paid for doing the right thing.

Actually, career politicians come and go. Career administrators "run" the government and do their best to limit the amount of damage that career politicians do. But they aren't always successful.

Whichever political operative figured out how to finally hitch the abortion issue to the republican party was a genius. I have to give them that. Because they knew they could use that one issue to get everything else they wanted, regardless of whether it was in their voters self interest or not.


Huh. Looks like it was none other than Bob Dole...

As Ford’s campaign managers struggled to draft a platform position on abortion that was acceptable to the president, they recognized that it would be difficult to navigate a middle course between the wishes of social conservatives such as Melady and women’s rights advocates such as the First Lady. One adviser, taking the president’s previous statements as a guide, drafted a Republican Party platform plank that stated, “The 1973 Supreme Court decision and recent decisions have gone too far. The way abortion is treated should be decided by the people in their own state, close to their own homes.”
But Bob Dole, who was trying to win support from conservatives in his bid to become Ford’s running mate, realized that a strong antiabortion platform plank could conciliate Reagan delegates and gain approval from Catholics and social conservatives. With memories of his own successful pro-life reelection strategy fresh in his mind, Dole met with representatives of Ellen McCormack’s Democratic presidential campaign in order to find out what they would accept in a platform plank on abortion, and he then worked with Senator Jesse Helms (R-N.C.), a sponsor of a “human life amendment,” to draft a platform plank that opposed abortion in much more strident language than the president had originally desired. Helms, who considered abortion to be “murder,” was one of the earliest conservative Republican converts to the pro-life cause; by 1976, he had already written an antiabortion article for Human Events and had been a featured speaker at national pro-life rallies, so he was well versed in the language of the right-to-life movement. He was also a staunch Reagan supporter. By enlisting Helms’s support in drafting the antiabortion platform plank, Dole helped to mollify conservative Republicans, Reagan delegates, and pro-life activists, all of whom had been reluctant to support the president.

In Michigan we lost every single election. State house and senate for the 1st time in decades. Governors, Secretary of State, AG, all lost..every proposal lost..Lost by huge numbers too. I am not a tin foil hat type of guy but I will NEVER believe that we are really voting in this state.
Same thing in Massachusetts, and even the longtime county republican sheriffs lost. Things looked ok, until after the mail in ballots were all counted, and then boom, all Republicans lost. In 2020, folks saw what could be accomplished with mail-in ballots and now here we are again.

I agree completely. I'm tired of voting based off of the least bad choice.

Believe what you want but Trumps endorsement is possibly the most valuable currency in the history of elections.

174-9 yesterday.

I am not a “fringe” voter or “extremist” and I would vote for him again .

I agree but then they went straight to proposing a nation wide ban. That may have pushed more people away from them.

If you're a Christian, then you believe "those" people are also children of God. "Those people" also do all the jobs that entitled white kids (and adults) are no longer willing to do, which is why they come. Because they are employed by people like djt so they don't have to pay a real wage that would cut in to the owner's profits.

As it will be in the future, it was at the birth of Man
There are only four things certain since Social Progress began.
That the Dog returns to his Vomit and the Sow returns to her Mire,
And the burnt Fool's bandaged finger goes wabbling back to the Fire;

And that after this is accomplished, and the brave new world begins
When all men are paid for existing and no man must pay for his sins,
As surely as Water will wet us, as surely as Fire will burn,
The Gods of the Copybook Headings with terror and slaughter return!
