"At a rally this evening near Green Bay, Wisconsin, Trump said his team had advised him to stop talking about how he was going to protect women by ending crime and making sure they don’t have to be 'thinking about abortion.”'

@ferricoxide I see. Thanks for explaining. I'll have to glance back through the thread to see what I think.

@buermann Didn't it, though? And as a cousin-friend of mine said today on Facebook in response to a posting about this, women have been lying to men for years and these men are only now realizing that?

[wdlindsy@toad.social]

@hakona I agree!

I know I'm privileged to live among people who respect my opinion, but that is partly my doing. Of course I'm also partly lucky, in my family and upbringing.
I think there's a difference between going out with someone who votes differently than you, and going out with someone who votes for policies and laws that actively are going to harm you.

@wdlindsy

well, you're right, i don't remember seeing that in the Bible either

it's a word of mouth claim i've heard from people who believed some pretty awful stuff

[finaloverdrive@kolektiva.social]

@wdlindsy I do, very much so. I wasn't sure if you did.

@wdlindsy
Forgot to say: liberal in this sense refers to pro individual liberty, as in "freedom loving" . MAGA, eat your heart out!

[wdlindsy@toad.social]

@hakona You're right!

[wdlindsy@toad.social]

@FinalOverdrive Perhaps you don't really know me much at all, from a glancing acquaintance on social media.

@peachfront It's so strange how such bizarre apocryphal details spring up to complement or interpret a biblical text the people spinning those details claim is infallible and complete in itself, isn't it?

@econads "I think there's a difference between going out with someone who votes differently than you, and going out with someone who votes for policies and laws that actively are going to harm you."

I agree. The thing some people don't realize is that their voting choices are in and of themselves harmful to some people they may claim to love. This is a point I've made repeatedly to those voting Republican but claiming to love their LGBTQ family members. The votes belie the love.
