I think truck drivers will confirm this. Inexperienced drivers sometimes wind up in a ditch

on a windy day---because that's where they steered their rig.

If they were west bound on an interstate through the wide open spaces and there was a 30 mph wind from the north, they had to "hold right" in order to counter the wind and drive straight down the highway. And, then----they went under an overpass where some state or county road crossed and were instantly shielded from the wind.

Look out! "Holding right" now steers them off the pavement!

I think maybe the GOP has been "holding right" against legal abortions for decades. If in June, legal abortion stops, will they wind up in the ditch without the "baby-killing socialists" to oppose?

When your entire political strategy is keeping everyone's knickers in a twist, it would be imprudent to not keep spare knicker-twisters on hand.
