[Where's the GOP headed?] ‘He’s Not God’: Trump’s MAGA Creation Takes On Life of Its Own

National Republicans have eyed the 7th District as a potential pickup opportunity as they try to regain control of the House of Representatives after four years in the minority. Malinowski, who is going for a third term in Congress, defeated Kean — the son of former New Jersey Republican Gov. Tom Kean Sr. — by just 1.2 percentage points in 2020.

As someone noted, part of the Capitol police seemed to be giving free excuses as "nothing suspicious" Sgt Schultz type handling.

Is there any evidence repealing roe will lead to more Latino gains for the gop https://t.co/h610SaNMk7
— Joe Gabriel Simonson (@SaysSimonson) June 26, 2022

I think not, I think people misunderstand U.S. voters who are Latino Catholics. US Catholics overall are not like like Central American Catholics, they understand the importance of separation of church and state and how in the end it protects them (Joe Biden's attitude towards his religion is similar). I think where GOP wins over Latino immigrants who are voters is the socialism vs. capitalism thing and against WOKE ELITE TRYING TO IMPOSE THEIR VALUES. They won't win any extra voters of this kind this way, they will lose some. Sure, plenty of men in Latino-American subculture still have the macho thing where big families are a sense of pride, but I don't even see most of those types wanting to impose their beliefs on others; they might try to stop their wife from getting an abortion but if gringoes want to abort their babies, that's fine with them, not their business.

State legislatures that are outlawing abortion are pandering to old-tymey white Christian nationalist minorities, it's just that simple. Time will tell whether doing that will anger other people that voted for them or whether those voters will let that go even though they disagree it is a wise law to have.

by artappraiser on Sun, 06/26/2022 - 4:40pm

p.s. it's libertarian - you do with your own body what you want - the reason they don't like socialism is that you have to pay the taxes to support lifestyles and extra government you don't agree with and maybe even submit to it (like with schooling)

by artappraiser on Sun, 06/26/2022 - 4:45pm

I'm not sure ppl know the stats either -
50-75% of pregnancies miscarried before women know they're pregnant
10-20% of known pregnancies miscarried (up to 20 weeks)
about 3.2% of pregnancies 20-27 weeks are stillborn, about 2.8% of those 28+ weeks.
[ok, not sure what this last line was - elsewhere they say 1/160 births are stillborn or 24K/year in US]
