I have come to the conclusion, looking at the insane, woman-hating bills coming
out (MO being top of the list today), that the people demanding and writing these bills are reincarnations of those who tortured and killed women during the Burning Times. They did not get us all then, though Goddess knows they tried, and it looks like they are back to finish the job.

All the patriarchal, murdering, hate-filled christofascists thugs can go **** themselves. They know that their numbers are waning, this is their last-ditch effort to exert control, or burn it all down. May they receive everything they deserve.

3. And the reason they hate women remains the same.

Independent and strong women are a threat to their power. Control over the physical body of another person is the ultimate power.

8. Why doesn't this count as violence against women?

I'm so angry about this. What can we do? I wonder what the various organizations like Advance, PP others are doing. There have to be some plans or schemes out there somewhere. This cannot stand!

10. I think the blowback is coming

I'm watching what's happening in Florida with Disney. Disney OWNS Central Florida, and what they don't own, most of the other major studios do. Iger's retired from the board, but from multiple comments he's made lately, I think he's pushing the current CEO to take the fight directly to DeSantis.

That's what the christofascists don't want to understand: they are playing to their base of aging MAGAts, but too many corporations are getting fed up with having to deal with the headaches that these guys are causing, and it's going to start translating into campaigns to get these extremists out of office.

19. The people can't or won't fight the GOP christofascists. Maybe the corporate oligarchs can try.

That is shift their funding away from the guys giving them headaches.

30. From the nature of some of the

most outrageous abortion bills, I suspect that a lot of funding is coming from the Catholic Church. Evangelicals are aligned with them ideologically, but not always to the point of absolutely no abortions no matter what. That absolutist position sounds like Catholicism has a hand in the funding and origin of these bills.

12. Their numbers are waning? Last ditch effort?

It appears to me that the power of the Christofascists is on the rise. They may be on the verge of assuming autocratic power in our country. They dominate the Supreme Court. They have leverage in national elections by virtue of the Electoral College, gerrymandering, a dedicated propaganda network, legalized bribery, and voter suppression.

Far from waning power, the axis of radical Christians, racists, and the ultra-wealthy is crushing civil liberties, impoverishing workers, and concentrating wealth like never before in history.

Women are mearly pawns and collateral damage in this war.

54. a dedicated propaganda network

a dedicated propaganda network...
There it is.
I keep meeting youth lately here at work who are full on MAGAt's, and figuring I can possibly reason with them, relatively open to discussion. I can make some strides but I'm up against the mindlock of
FOX NEWS TALKING POINTS.
There's one for every possible sensible viewpoint, to stop all discussion because of "Cancel Culture" or "Socialism" fears or "Free Dumbs".
Not that their viewpoint makes any damn sense at all: they just reiterate what's been brainwashed into them.

13. It's rooted in subliminal hate and degradation of women

to increase their own sense of power and control. They love exploitation, domination, defilement, and abuse of women, though none of them would admit it and probably aren't aware of it. I'd bet more than a few have mistresses or girlfriends on the side, and I'd bet their porn list would curl many a toenail.

48. You know what?

We aren't as helpless this time and maybe we should start literally fighting back. Stealthily. We don't have to be passive victims this time.

Star Member Hortensis (51,075 posts)

73. We're the winners, THEY're the losers fighting back.

I like that you mention "fighting," which I guess is why I stopped here, but "stealthily"? That's silly. We're the majority and hold the citadel they attack. If they repeal abortion, we'll reinstate.

59. These people are definitely the heirs of those who burned women centuries ago

My suggestion is to reward their cruelty in kind, explaining to them in their final moments before the fires are lit at their feet, that society is only giving them a quick preview, and a chance to get used to what their God has in mind for them in eternity.

Star Member Hortensis (51,075 posts)

75. Fwiw, let's remember equality has been winning for centuries

now and will continue. That doesn't mean there haven't always been setbacks, and right now the LOSERS are emboldened and empowered by the negligence of those who believe in equality.

But we are the giant force they've always raged against but can't stop. The Enlightenment, Ages of Reason and Science, Industrial Revolution, all the revolutions since, including Medical, are all on the side of equality.

Thanks to the majorities' stupidity in allowing them to get power, they're having a serious moment -- extremism has taken control of the right -- but they always lose in the end. Remember reaction? And that half the right are women and others men who care about women, and about having their own right to choice? Their extremism is not just taking them farther than most conservatives ever expected themselves to go, the ones who really would burn women are going way too far.

It wouldn't hurt if more people here realized that. I see very little insight on this thread and a great deal of silly, fearful hand-wringing and demonization of ordinary people at a level worthy of anything the right can produce.

Shorts hiked up. Everyone checked their registration lately and know when their next election day's coming up?

Hey lefty,

What is a woman? Define the term.


I dare you.

[Mr Mannn]

According to Lefty Logic, they should never ever lose an election. Women are united by one thing: their desire to kill babies. Threaten that and women will vote as a 50% block for Democrats.

so why aren't Democrats dominating everything today? Because women are individuals and not a collective. Women have minds of their own and can clearly see the chains on the plantation.

Freedom was made for individuals. Politicians with a collective mindset will never satisfy their constituents.

abortion was never all that popular, despite the altars Democrats would raise to it.

[SVPete]

Is there context to Star Moron niyad hysterical hate-filled rant? If she's vaguely alluding to Pro-Life legislation, does she realize that approximately half of the human lives that would be saved are girls? How is saving girls' lives "woman-hating"?

[Ralph Wiggum]

Ever since Obama was elected and perhaps earlier, liberals have been enforcing the rule that any criticism of leftist women, people of color, or the LGBTQ-whatever community are NEVER allowed to be criticized for anything.

That pesky liberal privilege standard again.

Actually, they're trying to keep African Americans from being ripped out of their mothers' womb and killed...the racism of the pro-abortion movement is well known and goes right back to its founders.
