    Awesome explanation. The similarities are striking. I don’t understand why people have the tendency to interfere with others lives. Conservatives have a fetish for this.

      Codifying cultural norms into law is a normal part of politics. The big question is what you want to normalize.

        So why do they want to codify stuff they don’t want to follow?

        How man conservative Republicans had an abortion, but it was different in their case? The inconsistency makes me believe it’s not about politics.

          Selective enforcement. You use the law to pursue your political opposition. Planned Parenthood is a major organizing tool for liberal Democrats, so crushing the organization in your city/state means disrupting how Democrats fundraise and GOTV. Meanwhile, Republican-aligned physicians and unorganized back-alley clinics can provide your daughter or mistress the procedure on the DL.

            Yeah. I forgot they are incapable to feel positive emotions for “people in the other cult”… while they are a homogeneous mass compared with the heterogenous multicultural chaos that is,… Literally everyone else who is not aligned with Nazis.
