Well..we know that the repubs lie about everything so I guess we shouldn’t be surprised that the “life of the mother” exception that many of the red states have written into their draconian anti abortion laws just don’t work when women have to sue for that right and it has to go through the deep red court systems…just in the past week a case in Texas shows that the repubs had no intent of allowing any abortion even if the mother’s life is at risk and the fetus has a genetic disease that is fatal every time…a woman there had doctors refuse to perform the needed procedure since they can be arrested for doing it even though she may die or lose her fertility if the abortion wasn’t done…so she sued and a lower court agreed she qualified for the exception…but then the asshole AG stepped in to object and appealed to the Texas SC and the SC said she couldn’t use the exception so she had to leave the state to save her life…now, there is no damn way that any woman should have to sue to control her healthcare…but that is what is happening in every damn red state…and the repubs just don’t care since the cruelty is the point of these laws….geez…

I’m glad I live in a blue state…
Well…when I look at what is happening in the red states across this country…the hatred, book banning, fascism and an explosion in no permit open carry, I am so glad I live in a blue state that is completely controlled by the dems…I mean if your a dem in Florida, how could you take what the asshole desantis is doing to you state in cooperation with even more right wing repub cronies…I mean outlawing teaching of any black history or charging teachers with felonies for displaying the wrong book in their classroom while not telling them what books are the wrong books? So that means the rich environment of ideas that used to exist there is now completely controlled by the repubs…recognize that? Yep, sure sounds like fascism to me…and they have criminalized even talking about LGBT issues in any Florida school and are now packing the management of every college/university with desantis cronies and are turning them all into Hillsdale…that far right college here in Michigan that pushes constantly for the separation of church and state to end….so yep, I am glad I live here in Michigan but we all need to get out to vote in every damn election because if the repubs take over here, the rights of many of our fellow citizens will be gone…geez…
Doctor shortages are coming to red states…
Well…with the Dobbs decision from the SC that killed Roe, the intended consequence is that all red states have passed laws or had them on the books that would ban abortion…and some of them have already passed laws banning teaching doctors how to perform them…and that has had the unintended consequence of setting up a conflict with the organizations that set what doctors need to be trained in to be able to have an MD…meaning that doctors trained in red states will only be able to practice in red states, and that is causing an exodus of top MD candidates out of the red states…but it is not only limited to those choosing OB/GYN as their speciality but a recent poll shows that almost 70% of those heading into med school, no matter what they are specializing in won’t learn or practice in a red state that bans abortion….and what that means is that there is a massive doctor shortage coming to red states since most doctors want be able to live and work anywhere they want and that means they need to be accredited to do that. With their religious zealotry, the repubs are setting their citizens up for substandard care if they can get any care at all…but I’m sure they don’t care…after all, if they did they wouldn’t have taken rights away from more than 50% of the population in their states…and this goes along with the closures of hundreds of hospitals in red states that are closing since they refused the money that comes with Medicaid expansion that would have saved them….so I guess it doesn’t matter that they won’t have any doctors…they won’t have any hospitals to work in anyway….just frickin brilliant, repubs….
What are they going to do?
Well….you know, I’m getting sick of the pundits trying to tell us in the fair, sane, reality based world what we have to do to make sure that the 40% of Americans who support trump don’t get left behind when we win in 2020….my question is what are THEY going to do to become part of America again…to renounce the hate that they spew every day…to accept that they have been hoodwinked by trump and a republican party that doesn’t give a damn about them and and stop watching fox news and breathe the air of reality for a change? Why do we on the left have any responsibility to them when all they do is hate us and our policies that would benefit them and us and not the rich? I am tired of the media aiding and abetting this un-American bullshit spewed by this 40%….and I am tired of the fact that no one on the right from the top down to the MAGA shits takes any responsibility for their actions…they voted for the idiot trump and lost their jobs due to his stupid trade policies? It must be a conspiracy from the “deep state”…it can’t be that they elected an ignorant moron who really doesn’t know anything. The schools in red states are failing? It can’t be that they voted for repubs who gutted the state budgets to give tax cuts to the rich…it must be that Obama set this up since he hated red states and the people in them. I think that there needs to be some pain involved for these idiots or they will never learn that their actions have consequences…that their hate and racism is what is making people wash their hands of them, not some conspiracy or another…my only concern is the collateral damage that will be done to people who live in red areas who may be conservative but not racist haters….but don’t they have more responsibility for the state of their states and this country than those of us on the left since they voted for idiot boy? I am no longer willing to see any good in any of them or give them the benefit of the doubt until THEY start to show behavior that is worthy of us working with them…until that time, that 40% can just go to hell….
The secessionist nonsense…
Well…are the republicans crazy or what? In 15 states that are majority repubs, there are movements to petition the federal government to secede from the US….yep, you heard it here, just because they lost an election to the socialist Kenyan, these idiots want to leave the union and establish their own little countries…and, the funny thing is, all of these states are net welfare queens, getting much more back from the federal government than they pay in taxes. So, I guess I say let them secede…it would make the blue states that support them much more solvent and we could then afford college for everyone, healthcare for everyone, and balanced budgets for everyone in the new Progressive States of America. What these idiots are also not seeing is the fact that if they do secede, say goodbye to social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, and the entire social safety net that the majority of the red state citizens depend on….so, goodbye, don’t let the door hit you in the ass on the way out…geez…
