    Obviously, he wasn’t going to fund IVF. Why would anyone have thought that? He never said that.

    Oh, you have a quote? No you don’t. That was misinterpreted. Also, not real. Also, nobody is talking about IVF. Also, you’re a radical Democrat Socialist Communist trying to murder babies so nobody should listen to you.

    I have one idiot coworker who cited this as a reason she liked trump.

    I’m unclear if she actually bothered to vote for him. She was proud of never having voted (we work for the county, that’s basically saying “no” to the question “do you want to choose your own boss?” Like I said, idiot)

    She’s as far as I know, doesn’t particularly want kids.

    She’s also a polyamorous wiccan divorcee. You’d think all of the “traditional christian family values” stuff would be more than enough to scare her away from anything having to do with the republican party.

      People who are proud of not voting make me angry. It’s one thing to quietly not vote because you don’t think about it. It’s a whole higher level to proudly declare you can’t be bothered to care about the future of your country

        I mean, I know a few people who don’t vote since from their perspective it makes no real difference who wins nationally, besides their vote would be insignificant, and locally just don’t care so long as everything still works. And another who just has honey badger levels of IDGAF, like just ate a cabbage like an apple because he wondered what it was like. That kinda extends to everything peak zero fucks what happens happens. I don’t think either of them are wrong exactly, they have no real pride in not voting just no skin in the game. I think that’s true of most non-voters. Never met a proud non-voter. The closest would be a votes only for third parties on principle that the two party system is broken. Which at that point is still voting so idk

        People who are proud of not playing games at the carnival make me angry. It’s one thing to quietly not play them because you know the games are rigged. It’s a whole higher level to proudly declare you refuse to play them because you can’t be bothered to care about the carnival.

      Some people are single issue voters. They only want one thing but ignore the rest. It’s like being in love and ignoring all the red flags, despite being told that the person is planted with such flags all over the body. Single issue voters is one of the demographic voters that I detest.

        As David Cross said about single-issue voters: “You’re fucking stupid and you shouldn’t vote.”

      As a polyamorous pagan, yeah you’d think we wouldn’t have that dim of people wouldn’t you? Unfortunately every group contains dipshits

    TACO fails again… who couldn’t have guessed this would happen… seriously, did anyone actually think he’d do something that doesn’t help him directly?

    it is at least an entertaining experience watching religious pro life individuals attempting to square the circle when it comes to IVF
