The GOP politicians are like a laughing elephant. They do not take women seriously. They believe that women are misguided and even a joke. Who are women to tell these politicians what to do. They are just going to look at women in this country smile and pass their dystopian agenda anyway. And their attitude is if you protest we will just do to you what we did to OWS. Seeing those police goons out there is not the kind of country that I spent two years in the military supposedly defending.
Too many women are NOT engaged in this battle. These politicians should be forced to withdraw ALL their legislation. I simply do not understand why women are putting up with such insults and are not out in the streets. If these Rethuglicans are not confronted in every venue, women will find themselves back in the Dark Ages.
Women are facing a defining moment in their future. The GOP itself is an insult to every woman in the country. And women who support their agenda are no better than the Nazi collaborators in WWII. They really are fools.
I was watching two legislators walk past those women in Virginia and their little smurk of a smile said "F -" . Women and men of conscience are engaged in a WAR. They will not stop until they are stopped.

(51,460 posts)women who kind of just took things for granted, may wake up to what we went through in the '50s and '60s and '70s. Hope they come out swinging!

(10,602 posts)The GOP politicians and their mafia backers show no signs of giving up. The churches are preparing to influence this election. The new cardinal Dolan is the Catholic churches point man in the war against women. They are determined to dictate public policy that falls into line with religious teachings.
What is going on is precisely why this democracy was established in the first place. There is an all out blizkrieg going on right now. Most of these laws will be on the books by summer.
These politicians should be running for their political lives. Instead they double down. Younger women just do not realize how serious this agenda is in taking away their future.

(34,403 posts)so I hope the shocking bills coming out of Virginia, Oklahoma, Texas, etc. will wake up the female majority in this country and they realize their rights are being stolen in a very real way. Forget $5/gallon gas. Just think how much worse it would be with an unplanned kid or 2. BTW, I'm beginning to think the gas price "crisis" is being ginned up by the oil companies to give the GOP nominee the best chance in the general as possible because they know their massive subsidies would be safe with the GOP.
Am I being paranoid?

(10,602 posts)You have every reason to be paranoid. With the RW media, billions of dollars, election fraud, voting guides in churches, the Catholic bishops et al, it is obvious they plan to bombard the country with religious hatred and bigotry. There will be a lot to overcome in this election for people of reason.
This election is all about a theocratic coup by the Dominionists. They are making no bones about their intention to declare this a Chrisitian nation. The election is about whose religion will rule.
