After the Dobbs ruling last year, abortion rose to the top of the cultural agenda as Republicans across the country pushed strict bans. This was, in no small part, why Democrats managed a historically strong performance in the 2022 midterm elections: This time around, they were on the right side of popular opinion on a highly visible and highly salient cultural issue.
Banning abortion without any exceptions is probably as unpopular, or more unpopular, as defunding the police. After Dobbs, abortion went from being a somewhat good issue for Democrats to becoming the single best issue.
The smart move would be to soften the GOP’s position on abortion, try to enact looser rules at the state level than the ones they’ve been pushing, and reorient the political conversation to more favorable territory. That’s not what’s happening. The reason why is not hard to understand: The Republican base really, really cares about abortion.

It's cool. Most of those unkilled babies will be killed later on in life by criminals that Soros funded DA's like Bragg let right back out on the street.
It's kind of like the movie Final Destination, but a lot more sad.

Quote:In the past, wondering just how far a party would go in defense of its leader was a matter of speculation. But Trump has moved this question from the realm of speculation to the realm of reality. The GOP has hitched its wagon to Trump, and he is leading them to places even they never imagined. A grotesque man presides over a grotesque party.

In January 2016, when Trump said he could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody and not lose any voters, people thought it was hyperbole. It turned out to be prophecy.

A resolution adopted at the R.N.C.’s winter meeting in January urges Republican lawmakers “to pass the strongest pro-life legislation possible.” Addressing their party’s poor showing in November, it said that Republicans hadn’t been aggressive enough in defending anti-abortion values, urging them to “go on offense in the 2024 election cycle.”
The 11-point loss of the Republican-aligned candidate in Wisconsin’s Supreme Court election on Tuesday has influential conservatives rethinking this strategy. “Republicans had better get their abortion position straight, and more in line with where voters are, or they will face another disappointment in 2024,” said a Wall Street Journal editorial.
Ann Coulter tweeted, “The demand for anti-abortion legislation just cost Republicans another crucial race,” and added, “Please stop pushing strict limits on abortion, or there will be no Republicans left.” Jon Schweppe, policy director of the socially conservative American Principles Project, lamented, “We are getting killed by indie voters who think we support full bans with no exceptions.”
But having made the criminalization of abortion a central axis of their political project for decades, Republicans have no obvious way out of their electoral predicament. A decisive majority of Americans — 64 percent, according to a recent Public Religion Research Institute survey — believe that abortion should be legal in most cases. A decisive majority of Republicans — 63 percent, according to the same survey — believe that it should not. When abortion bans were merely theoretical, anti-abortion passion was often a boon to Republicans, powering the grass-roots organizing of the religious right. Now that the end of Roe has awakened a previously complacent pro-choice majority, anti-abortion passion has become a liability, but the Republican Party can’t jettison it without tearing itself apart.

The insanity of News Feed used to divide America.
I'm not a Trump fan I do not vote...and yet

Arresting the Leader of the Opposition Part means its broke, this is a system Banana Republics and 3rd World Dictatorships use.

Quote:You don't know what so-called "Banana Republics" are. In those places, Trump would have had a bag placed over his head and would have disappeared into an unknown location until his trial a few days later. He would be found guilty and then executed by firing squad. Since Trump is not in a "Banana Republic", prosecutors asked for a trial in January 2024, but Trump lawyer Todd Blanche balked at that and advocated for a date in the spring of 2024. Until then, Trump is free to do as he pleases. In the coming months, prosecutors must hand over documents and Trump’s legal team can challenge the charges. Here’s how it will play out: https://www.politico.com/news/2023/04/05/trump-trial-timeline-00090688

I would point out to 6ix that the Republican Party is responsible for the US spending the highest percentage of its GDP on healthcare, compared to other countries, since any improvement is resisted by Republican voters because it is either Socialism or Communism to those Trump-loving fools:
Americans are more likely to die younger, and from avoidable causes, than residents of peer countries. Healthcare spending, both per person and as a share of GDP, continues to be far higher in the United States than in other high-income countries. Yet the U.S. is the only country that doesn’t have universal health coverage. In 2021, the U.S. spent 17.8 percent of gross domestic product (GDP) on health care, nearly twice as much as the average OECD country.

-health-care-global-perspective-2022
Health spending per person in the U.S. was $12,914 in 2021, which was over $5,000 more than any other high-income nation. The average amount spent on health per person in comparable countries ($6,125) is less than half of what the U.S. spends per person.

How does U.S. life expectancy compare to other countries?

If 6ix survives, he will be voting in 2024 to make the US the worst in the world with the most expensive and least effective healthcare.

Russian President Vladimir Putin was waiting on a "wink" from former U.S. President Donald Trump to seize parts of Ukraine — years before Russia launched a full-scale invasion — according to a new interview.
Written correspondence between former Trump campaign chair Paul Manafort and Kremlin aide Konstantin Kilimnik discussed Putin claiming part of Ukraine, saying that a "wink" from the Republican former president was needed to "make this work," former Mueller prosecutor Andrew Weissmann has said.
When the 2024 election arrives, remember that Trump confirmed he would make a deal allowing Russia to seize parts of Ukraine:
Saying Russia is "going for everything," Trump told host Sean Hannity in early March that Putin "would have never done it" if the former president was still in the White House.
"That's without even negotiating a deal," Trump continued. "I could have negotiated."
"At worst, I could have made a deal to take over something, you know, there are certain areas that are Russian speaking areas, right, like, but you could have worked a deal. And now Ukraine is just being blown to smithereens."

While Trump would give away parts of Ukraine, Ukraine's President would not be giving Russia any land. Trump is cavalier about giving away other people's property.
