    Floundering for a platform when the only platform they had, “fuck Biden”, was suddenly pulled out from under them. Now they don’t know what to do.

    They’re really going to force him to eat the ookie cookie that is being in support of an exception-less national abortion ban.

    Scrolling by quickly, the thumbnail in my Lemmy client makes it look like he’s got a hitler mustache. The framing of the microphone and his hand is almost perfect and very fitting.

      I wonder how hard a horse would have to kick my skull before I thought the government should assist pedophiles in harming their victims. They hate women so much.

        As other commenter said - they are consistent. If abortion is murder, that’s any abortion. If it’s not, then no abortion is a crime.

        The only case where you want to forbid abortions generally, but allow them for rape and incest cases, is if you are a fascist who wants to force women to give birth except for most outrageous cases (also with rape the child is more likely to be, eh, not loved by the mother, while with incest more likely to have pathologies), those likely to be less useful for their demography fetish.

        So in this case Trump is worse than his supporters if we try to deduce logic from the position taken, while his supporters are worse in practice.

    You shouldn’t have to file a police report or be seriously ill to get an abortion. Fuck the GOP’s stance on abortion.

      Lol at GOP writing a law where a police report is sufficient. They will only include a rape/incest allowance if there’s a conviction. Of course that will never happen in time, so the exception becomes meaningless.

      That’s Trump’s stance on abortion. GOP stance is: you’re not an American if you support ANY abortion publicly.

        probably not even his stance on abortion.

        “Yeah… i support exceptions for, uh, rape, and stuff… <whink whink whink>”. the boos were because he didn’t make the winking obvious enough for the troglodytes in the back.

        They don’t think you’re human if you support abortion. They see you as some sort of serial killer. It’s absolutely batshit crazy.

    Man is stuck between a rock and a hard place. He doesn’t want to make this election a referendum on abortion, because as we’ve seen in ballot measures in the past two years, he can’t win that fight. However, his base won’t accept anything but a hardline stance. Must suck to be him, couldn’t happen to a worse person.

        There’s one thing Trump hates, and that’s being seen as weak.

        I rather him push forward and continue raging until he expires.

      He put himself there. Remember that in 2012 he was pretty waffley on abortion and then he listened to the Christian nationals and stuffed to court with people who wanted to kill Roe. Whether he is truly drinking the Kool-Aide (personally I don’t think Trump gives a shit about anything as long as he gets money and fame) or not he is now committed to a position that 70% of Americans disagree with. The fact that Dems aren’t knocking it out of the fucking park (we’re moving in the right direction finally, at least) is a pretty clear sign that America is sick and tired of neoliberalism and wants actual change.

        While he doesn’t care about anything 9ther than himself, I think that he such poor management skills that he doesn’t know how to resolve any situation that you can’t bully yourself out of.

      Man is stuck between a rock and a hard place.

      Imo this is also one of the issues that shows how he has boxed himself into a corner with his VP candidate choice. If he had chosen someone that appeals to a different voter base, rather than Vance, who caters to the same crowd, then they’d have an easier time arguing both sides at the same time.

      Same situation where he was almost begging his cult to take the vaccine. You can see him share how important it was, realizing they were gonna lynch him, and immediately kept twisting it over and over until he was on their side again.

        If he hadn’t politicized it in the first place it would’ve been ok, but he saw the blue cities being hit first and so it was initially a benefit because people voting against him were dying. Then his big dumdum a-brain couldn’t extrapolate to the future where eventually only people against science would be dying, so he came out against protections. By the time the he realized his cult was dying off it was far too late for them to change their personalities.

          While this is all true, I do want to clarify. He was always for the vaccine. Because you take the vaccine and then the problem goes away.

          He was always against masking and social distancing, because that hurts the Dow Jones Industrial Average. He cared more about the S&P 500 than he did about the American people.

            Moreover as Fauci recounts, tiny hands wanted it to be just like the seasonal flu that ‘in a few months just goes away’.

            His idiot brain wanted it gone by obfuscation and denial.
