Nice try, New York Times
You can’t pretend you all of a sudden realized that Trump is a threat to all of American democracy and relay it to us like it’s breaking news and hope we’ll be gaslit into thanking you for informing us because we were not aware, and forget about all the coverage up until yesterday where you were explicitly favoring him for some horrifying reason
They want “America” to mean “cis white straight Christian males are at the top, and everyone else is either second class or dead.”
No, they want corporations to rule and line their pockets, even more than they already do.
Racism, religion, sexism, and all the other fear & hate, are just useful tools to rile up voters, and pull the wool over their eyes.They want both. There are many in power who are true believers of the religious stuff, as evidenced by the SCROTUS decision to ban abortion, which has no monetary benefit. There would, however, have been a benefit to keeping it legal, as outrage fuel for the base. Now that the dog’s caught the car, they’ve lost that benefit.
decision to ban abortion, which has no monetary benefit.
Unwanted children keep people poor, unable to relocate, and desperate for work and validation. Banning abortion has a direct monetary benefit to every red state and most religion, as poor people remain poor and desperate and remain underpaid and overworked and unable to make a change.
Make no mistake, there is very much a poor-to-pulpit pipeline and ensuring that accidental pregnancies are forced to term keeps that pipeline full.
I do believe there are some true believers that think an abortion is an Affront To God, but the rest of them are just riding those coattails as an excuse. But there’s always a profit motive. Always. These mfers wouldn’t wipe their own ass if they weren’t skimming tax money for it. It’s always a grift, every single time.
