Mormons act like Sailor Moon, where they are convinced they have the power to heal through kindness if you just let them, but this poo poo is real life. You can't win over the 'bad guys' by appealing to their better nature. MLK Jr tried that and was loving murdered for it.

And when he did die, he was on the edge of realizing his poo poo wasn't working and it was showing up in his writing. He thought that seeing black people attacked while not resisting in the news would move hearts much more than it actually did.

In the end it took loving bloodshed - MLK Jr, Rev James Reeb, and many others - for change to actually happen. Civil rights laws were always and only passed after a tragedy. None of it happened non-violently.

So where the gently caress does your PhD friend get off thinking she's gonna change things by appealing to the R's kindness. Seriously.

If that was going to work, it would've already. It's not like it's just waiting for the right person to do it. Imagining she can be their Messiah is pure self-indulgence on your friend's part.

Big ups on you telling us how MLK was wrong

My dad won't shut up about how much he loves Trump and the GOP platform but it's okay because we're Canadian and it's not even an election he can participate in so I just kind "Okay dad" him until he's had his fill. And he hates the leadership for the Canadian conservative party and I don't think he even votes in our elections anymore.

Weird guy, that dad of mine.

I believe the life of every child has inestimable dignity and value, unless that requires feeding them, providing them with healthcare, ensuring they have a place to live, or preventing them from getting murdered in school. Or if they have a funny haircut. Or they're from another country.

A PhD is a requirement to be a college professor, it’s not some self enrichment thing. Now that her kids are all in school she’s retiring to the career track she was on before they were born.

But the bigger point is, I think, that there are lots more effectively ex-Republicans out there who are still in the GOP because they’re looking to undo the damage that the party has caused AND who are doing so precisely BECAUSE they recognize their complicity in it and want to fix their mistake.

At least I hope that’s the case.

Well hopefully she’s successful and then she and the non trumpy republicans can get back to their core values of eliminating social programs so they can give tax breaks to the wealthy, and removing women’s bodily autonomy.

If it's based on state law then there's nothing to intervene on, and moreover taking the case would further twist the pretzel logic that undergirds Dobbs in the first place.

No, the point of Dobbs is that Alito and Thomas want to get to decide every single issue on a case-by-case basis, without any nasty precedent or guidance for lower courts getting in the way.

They straight up said 'Oh yeah this same issue of privacy underpins all these other rulings, but this is a special case that only we have the loving moon knowledge to comprehend, all you pissant lower courts can gently caress off, we're not explaining why, just keep sending everything up to us, we get to decide.'

I just love how a member of a group calling itself “Conservative” is celebrating how radically it has changed in the last 10 years.

Meanwhile my Mormon friend who always called herself “conservative” when we were growing up, and still does because she’s (moderately) pro-life and pro-business, is now getting shouted out of her local Iowa Republican Party meetings because she has all these woke ideas like “hey maybe let’s NOT nominate a rapist fraudster who’s been indicted for close to 100 felonies” and “immigrants really deserve a fair shot at finding employment and housing because after all they’re people too”.

Your friend sounds like a Christian who did the horrible Woke act of "believing the teaching of Christ"

She hadn't realized these aren't Christians, their fascists wearing crosses.

Tbh I feel for them, when I was younger the utter hypocrisy of "christians" around me regarding the less fortunate, LGBTQ people, and other faiths caused me to start questioning everything.

I hope your friend can heal and reflect, and find a place internally where they can be spiritually whole and get away from that cult.

If people are waking up and getting out, realizing Trump is the false prophet their books warns about, then the more of that the faster this whole thing collapses and ends.

Mormons are also by far some of the top family history researchers in the world, and if you are interested in where your family comes from at all in terms of your ancestors, you've probably used their sites.

Like they have a lot of infrastructure that could actually do a lot of net good, shame about supporting fascists for the most part though.

I'm curious to see how, if at all, trungo's performance will fluctuate this year. Is his support in freefall as it becomes obvious he's hosed? Does his inability to stop stealing from the cookie jar affect his campaigning? Do particularly damning court cases hurt turnout, or inflate it? Can Haley stay in the air long enough for Trump to hit a mountain? Many such questions!
