I don’t think that it’s right for the leadership, especially Republican leadership, that prides itself on being pro-family, to be so anti-family,
It’s “he’s not hurting the right people”, all over again.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

she's sooooooo fucking close to getting it... yet still so far away.
Just why is it that qons are so obsessed with things being in-person, even when they absolutely do not need to be?
Conservatives only trust things they can see. If it can't be seen directly with the naked eye in real time it is a conspiracy or imaginary.
It's why things like vaccines don't seem real to them. They can see the needle and the injection but what happens afterwards is an unknowable, untrustworthy thing.
It's also why MAGA had such a hard time processing Biden's win. Saying things like, "he didn't even hold that many rallies" or "attendance at his rallies were low!" Because to them, a physical presence is necessary to convince anyone that someone is serious about winning their votes (or even real).
Since anything unseen is scary to them it's easy to point the finger at people they don't see very often and say, "they're the ones responsible for your troubles!"
All of these are very good points. That's a great tie-in to how they viewed Biden. They thought that him "campaigning from the basement" and Democrats taking social distancing seriously meant that Biden could not have possibly won. I think they take the same view on things like yard signs, as well, come to think of it. The Democrats don't really have the equivalent - or at least it's much more rare - where someone that may support a given candidate has to buy a bunch of branded gear like some kind of cult member...
From conservative to liberal as soon as it has a personal impact.
Now can she apply this lesson to other aspects of life? It says she's freedom caucus so I'm not terribly optimistic.
