I wouldn’t be so sure. She has since appeared in a campaign ad with the democratic Missouri senator candidate in the 2022 midterms, moved out of Missouri, and sued the hospital in Kansas for denying care under the EMTALA. Her opinion piece on CNN (https://www.cnn.com/2024/06/27/opinions/emtala-scotus-ruling-emergency-abortion-idaho-farmer/index.html) is particularly harrowing in describing her experience and advocates for federal abortion rights.
Well good for her for changing her mind. It’s easy to laugh at people like her but I think we need to have more compassion for these people. All the spiteful people on this website often make me more mad than these dipshit republicans.
I had a lot of shitty views indoctrinated into me during my upbringing and it’s taken me years of self work and reflection to become the leftist I am today. My growth didn’t happen because people made fun of me, it happened because a close friend of mine cared about me and wanted me to become a better person.
tl;dr: laughing at republicans solves nothing and just makes you feel good about yourself, which is not a horrible thing in itself but something more leftists need to be aware of imo.
We need the democratic party to be far less kind and forgiving and actually want to win elections and learn to how to properly fight dirty.
At the same time, we need the people to be far less spiteful and hateful, because no matter what happens after an election we all have to live together, and even the people who are deeply steeped in this political theater are just treating it like WWE, it’s entertainment and they don’t even care that none of it is real, they just want to feel safe and have a group to belong to, and you could probably take many of them out of that environment and talk to them and see they’re almost the same as us. Just less aware or cognizant of what’s going on the world.
We need to treat conservatives the same way we treat dumb children. We use a firm hand, we dominate them with simple, strong language they understand, while at the same time having sympathy and empathy, because they are just humans tricked by their own feelings, like we’re all vulnerable to.
Now, the grifters, pundits and media stars trying to stroke those feelings and turn our neighbors against us? I have so little sympathy for those bags of pure, distilled evil that if I spoke my opinion on how they should be treated, I would probably get banned.
When was this? A lot of these posts from the last decade are resurfacing now (for obvious reasons)
Looks like Oct. 18, 2022 according to the source article listed elsewhere in the comments.
Bet you she still voted Trump this year
