      It does but generally only when there’s a major looming threat and/or we are asleep at the wheel and let them spread bullshit without challenge.

      What they’ve failed to account for is the fact that women can surprisingly vote. And women are overwhelmingly not voting for the anti woman party. I suspect even the most vocal right wing ladies are closing the curtain and choosing not to vote against their own interests. Since right wing women love to secretly get abortions, it tracks.

      Abortion is the issue that the right never actually wanted to win. It made for perfect performance art. You could sing all day about it and get the Christian vote and you never actually had to do a thing but just promise you would keep fighting the good fight. Except the super religious nuts used trump to get cultist judges in place and they actually fucking did it. Now they’re dealing with the consequences of their own actions. Rich Republicans never wanted to get rid of abortions. They need abortions on account of all the women they impregnate that aren’t their Christian wives. Sure they can still get them but it’s suuuuper inconvenient to have to send the cleaning lady on spirit airlines to a blue state.
