Police and the military have always been tokens, the right doesn't actually give two shits about them. My father puts out "Veterans for" signs for democratic candidates in Kansas and they get stolen almost every election cycle. The don't care about the health of Veterans, they don't care about their well being in any way, they don't care about separating them from their families over total bullshit and they certainly don't want to hear what a veteran has to say if they don't fall in line with the GOP.

Exactly the same as the way they treat the unborn.

"Ohhh, the unborn are sacred. Ohhhh, the unborn are people too. Ohhhh, how could you murder one of God's blessed little creations?"

Until they're born into some poor fucking family that can't afford them, in some urban area that leans blue. Then Jesus' little miracle transforms as if by magic into "just another gaping mouth suckling at the government's teat."

And God forbid they grow up to have some kind of opinion, like "hey, I don't like being shot at in my 2nd grade class, maybe we can do something about that?" Then they'll be getting death threats from the same people that sent death threats to abortion providers.

I don’t think democrats claim that all cops are fascists.

If I recall, it’s the Republican Party that has been demonizing the FBI?

Their point is that Republicans tend to follow blindly anyone with an R next to their name, not actually sticking to the values they claim to hold. Hence why people have problems with people claiming to be good Christians but votes for a horrible human being like Trump. It’s called Hypocrisy.

Same goes for “my body my choice” regarding masks, but not for women’s right to an abortion. The goal post always moves.

I also find it fascinating that people are unable to see that standing against cops murdering civilians is a good thing? Just because a person does not want police officers to have full right to kill anyone without question, or even investigate their own…doesn’t mean they believe that a structured society with laws and enforcement of said laws shouldn’t exist.

They can both exist. Blindly following any political party is a failure of deep, independent thought for any person.

Did I say that? Take a moment to slowly re-read what I wrote. S-L-O-W-L-Y.

Since it seems that reading comprehension isn’t your strong suit, I’ll even give you a hint, focus on the part at the bottom.

Also I LOVE the what-aboutism—instead having any sort of intelligible response, you go for “Well what about dEmOCratS”

Lol seems legit. You clearly wasted your time with a nonsense response to my first comment.

Well—if you ever have the time to stand up for what you believe in, I’m sure everyone would love to know. Until then, you’ll remain just another person who has no opinions or thoughts of their own.

Ok then let me clarify “person who defends Republicans and has a comment history full of repeating common Republican political talking points”. There you go.

I think that many reasonable people could agree that policy discussions should take a back seat to securing free and fair elections. Only one party is screaming about rigged elections and trying to overturn the will of the people. Defending the core values of democracy is a wonderful and righteous cause, no matter what side of the aisle you occupy.

Let's reinforce the foundations of our democracy and then we can return to the regularly scheduled programming of debating common sense gun law reform, immigration, and other policy issues.
