7. Yes, because they have no real policies

to put forth to the voters, so once again they play on people's emotions. Republicans don't really do anything aside from confirming conservative judges and lowering taxes. They don't know how to govern and they have no real ideas, so they are always selling hate and fear to the masses. They won't make anyone's life really better, but they'll make them feel like they have with all these fake wedge issues. Meanwhile, their corporate overlords are the only ones reaping the benefits.

She thought of too many interactions in sexual terms; she was definitely not a slut but quite the opposite - a real prude.

"Her dress is too short." "Only loose women wear eye makeup."
"They're standing too close."
Etc. She judged mostly women, of course.

She was older but her peers weren't like her. She was even more misogynistic.

Good question about the Thomas's.
