    I dunno, they seem to be totally okay with this since they keep voting for it. In what sense is “not all Republicans” a reasonable response when, again, they vote for this and continue voting for it?

      For starters, a lot of them are convinced that the democrats are even worse, and they are just voting for the lesser of two evils. Our democracy doesn’t do a great job of reflecting the peoples values

        Uhhh, but they’re wrong, right? Like, Democrats are voting for affordable health care, queer rights, and women’s rights… and Republicans are trying to take all that away. Even if they’re convinced Democrats are worse, they’re still wrong and we can reasonably say they’re indulging in Christian fascism to control the people they don’t like. In fact, that’s explicitly what they’re doing.
