@terryenglish @shampoobottle @a7 no, they are not, because the Republican party has gone absolutely insane over the past ten years.

@terryenglish @a7 @shampoobottle Democrats are what Republicans were a few years back, but Republicans now are far crazier.

@mewmew The Republican party is milquetoast as fuck in most regards, except for some holdover religous issues that no one actually cares about anymore. @terryenglish @a7

@shampoobottle @mewmew @terryenglish@blob.cat @a7 Not even a lot of those lol

Ain't no Republicans talking about gay marriage nowadays

@realcaseyrollins @shampoobottle @mewmew @terryenglish there is the abortion issue, but while im extremely far left and could be described a socialist i dont like abortion so i agree with them there.

@a7 @mewmew @terryenglish@blob.cat @shampoobottle Abortion is the only religious issue mainstream GOP member care about.

I think this is why the Religious Right is viewed as extreme by many; they're the only ones that are still railing against gay marriage.

@realcaseyrollins @a7 @terryenglish @shampoobottle The religious right is viewed as extreme because the policies they take are all virtue signalling.

@mewmew @terryenglish@blob.cat @shampoobottle @a7 Really? The policies? I would argue, more like their motives.

But I could see that, for those who want gay sex, sodomy, adultery, etc. banned

@realcaseyrollins @terryenglish @shampoobottle @a7 I'm talking about being anti-abortion, anti-sex ed, and anti-birth control which is 100% virtue signalling - especially when they don't support simple welfare programs or healthcare for all which would save a significant amount of lives.

@mewmew @realcaseyrollins @shampoobottle @terryenglish I dunno, some, a lot of democrat voters use to be catholic before abortion stuff

@a7 @realcaseyrollins @shampoobottle @terryenglish wdym?

@mewmew @realcaseyrollins @shampoobottle @terryenglish well a lot of Catholics support those things, they just find abortion that abhorrent they think simply opposing that is the lesser of the two evils. Most catholics are against trump’s hard line on immigration and treatment of social services.

@a7 @realcaseyrollins @shampoobottle @terryenglish yeah, those were not the people I was referring to

@a7 @realcaseyrollins @shampoobottle @terryenglish well, the people who find abortion more evil than policies that objectively cause people to die are idiotic.

@a7 @realcaseyrollins @shampoobottle @terryenglish especially because the Bible doesn't condemn abortion and in fact supports it in some places but whatever.

@a7 @realcaseyrollins @shampoobottle @terryenglish it was never about abortion, it was about control

@mewmew @realcaseyrollins @shampoobottle @terryenglish see cant even broach the subject with out being declared sexist.
