Eh, not all of them. I have 7 brothers and sisters, all of us raised Southern Baptist and thus obviously Republican, and I think only 2 are really likely to vote regressively. A 3rd could go either way. The rest of us have seen through the BS. I know it’s only one anecdotal data point, and I suspect we’re the exception rather than the norm, but I think it illustrates that Republican policy and hypocrisy are massively unappealing to people who have a capacity for empathy and critical thinking, and thus that we’re not necessarily doomed.
God I hope they continue the push to raise the voting age.
Section 1. The right of citizens of the United States, who are eighteen years of age or older, to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of age.
Section 2. The Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation.
The more time and effort they waste on an issue requiring a Constitutional amendment, the happier I am. Let 'em spin their wheels.
Even with removing the Christian aspect from this, it’s pretty heavy and a strong point.
I wonder what their plan is to retell the story in 8-12 years from now when people who were effectively left behind on purpose are of voting age.
We already know, they’ll pretend it was the democratic president’s fault
Was really hoping to read something else. Something arguably less plausible… but something else nonetheless.
I hope you have a good week though!
And the kids were raised Republican will believe it with every fiber of their being.

I hope there’s enough empathetic people about to see through their nonsense so we can get everyone they help they need.
The plan is for them to not be able to vote in 8-12 years. They’re already wanting to raise the voting age.
