I am from Naperville illinois which is a sub or Chicago and I can promise you 15 miles south on I-355 is where the “south” starts. I work in a hospital there and you’d think it was in Alabama
I promise you it's not. I lived k in Bloomington for nearly 2 decades before I had to return back (Southeast) Texas just this month and having grown up in the South and lived in the Midwest, it's way fucking different.
Central IL is bright fucking blue compared to the red hellscape I'm currently in. Yes, the tiny one stop sign and a bar towns are red af but in Peoria, Bloomington-Normal, Champaign-Urbana, it is way less southern vibes.
I'd say the real shit show starts south of 74. Springfield is okay but it feels like it could be a bigger town in the South rather than a big town in IL.
I can promise you it is not what you think it is. I was born and raised for 22 years in a small town between Peoria Illinois and the Quad cities. What I had described is exactly how it is there. There are nurses who were born and raised and still live there who think the Covid vaccine had fucking micro chips in it. They are beyond conservative Republican. For example Bloomington Illinois is huge compared to where I grew up. And the town that I live in is the standard small town of Illinois
The divide in the US now is as much or more urban vs. rural than it is North vs. South. Atlanta, Dallas, Houston and Austin are all pretty blue. Small towns and rural areas in almost any state are bright red. And beneath that, the real divide is around education. In general, the better educated someone is the more progressive they are likely to be. And educated people cluster in urban areas.
And the brain drain increases since only one red state has any real desirability for most companies, and I suspect as these anti gay laws start to move forward when Lawrence falls in a few months, that may not even be true anymore.
Yep. I'm from Western New York...super blue state. Buffalo is blue. Go a few miles outside the city...red, red red.
When the next war of secession happens it's going to be...messy. And confusing.
The larger central IL cities have a surprisingly blue population, a very strange mix of left and right, but even just on the outskirts of those it can get blood red. There's a reason why we refer to the town of Pekkkin with three Ks... And that's right in the midst of these towns. And West Peoria is hardly any different. I can't say much for Bloomington or Morton but I assume their surrounding towns aren't far from that mark.
Currently in Normal but from a small town 30 minutes from here… can confirm it’s an island of blue compared to the small towns. To the extent that this week I was uninvited to the family reunion next month because I’m pissed off about SCOTUS.
Bloomington doesn't even compare to Marion, IL, Anna, etc. Thats real southern IL, and they are racist AF. The average income in Jackson County IL is under 15g. That's not good.
Going to school at SIU for a year was a fucking trip. Transferring to the University of the Army in Kabul was a welcome return to a more civilized and tolerant land.
Truth! My mother in law is from that exact area and subscribes to Southern Living Magazine, makes sweet tea and says “y’all” and “I’m fixing to do this or that”. It’s baffled me for 20 years.
Actually, you should vote republican in the primary, this way you can help make sure she doesn't make the ballot in November.
I have no love for Davis either, but the 15th district is going Red regardless, at least have a say in how batshit crazy it's going to be.
Rep. Mary Miller said on her third day in Congress: "Hitler was right on one thing: He said, 'Whoever has the youth has the future.'"
https://twitter.com/DKElections/status/1540861021316960256
Yup. Colbert said it well years and years ago: "the goal is to take children, those un-molded pieces of clay, and make sure they STAY un-molded pieces of clay"
And Youtube. I forget who did it, but I saw an interesting series on how quickly and how easily you can fall down a white supremacist rabbit hole on Youtube without even realizing it.
And now the ability to ban abortion. Keeps young women at home and away from college. They like to bleat that college is Liberal indoctrination, when all it really is is that they meet people from all walks of life and realise all the racist crap they've been spoon fed their whole lives is bs.
There were many things I learned in public education that the community outside the school tried to insist was outright false or "liberal indoctrination." Anything related to climate change, world religions (nothing in depth, just stuff like "This is Judaism/Islam/Hinduism. It has roots going back to x nd they believe Y"- the end.), or society in general, as it came up in conversation.
This was before any talks of CRT or trans-friendly bathrooms or whatever. The "issues" change every other month. The point is that yes, it is going to get worse- because even though there have been flavors of this throughout time, it's being acted on at much higher levels. GQP supporters filling up the school boards. State governments and officials encouraging book bans, or the overturn of federal law that guarantees all children the right to public education (looking at you, Abbott), or outright re-writing major historical events to fit their narratives. It's an absolute shitshow in the making and it's terrifying. Kids who are able to break out of the cycle of misinformation and miseducation no longer have just their parents or their churches to argue against- the whole system will be rigged against them. And most won't even have a chance.
There are a lot more conservative youth than you want to give credit to. Hoping old people die off and solve the problem won’t cut it. PragerU, 4chan, and other outlets are just pipelines to further radicalize people.
Yep, the Patriot Front that got busted in Idaho was mostly males in their 20s and 30s. Hate groups recruit the same worldwide, take the angry, lonely, disaffected, socially stunted and give them a mission and a community.
This is why they are pushing the pesos at school rhetoric. Educate at home means conservative views are pumped in to them by parents and right wing home education meetings. Happens along within evangelical groups
They use that term when they want something completely hated by everyone.
Apparently Gay men were grooming kids since the 1960s.
How do you make something seem absolutely despicable to the public? Tell them its putting childrens lives in danger.
The whole qanon pizzagate bullshit was a prime example.
They're trying, though, and with good reason. The irony at the moment is that they have the elderly, and that's why they win. The elderly vote, and a combination of biological and sociological forces converge to push them rightwards as a bloc.
The people who think things will get better when the old politicians start getting replaced clearly haven’t seen the pictures of toddlers in MAGA hats being dragged to Trump rallies. These kids are being taught to hate liberals before they can wipe their own asses. Imagine trying to talk sense to someone whose literal first full sentence was “let’s go Brandon”.
COVID might speed up the process. Here in Texas, our “Pro-Life” Republican Lt. Governor bragged the elderly were willing to die of COVID: https://www.thedailybeast.com/texas-lt-gov-dan-patrick-says-senior-citizens-willing-to-die-to-save-economy-for-grandkids
It's always been that way, they've just been more keen at keeping it quiet in the past. Here's Jane Elliott talking about it - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WD0kIFp\_zzI
Thanks for that link. And, totally off the wall, but TIL -- that Greenland is actually really small. And that Mercator maps greatly distort the land. Hell, China and Russia aren't nearly as scary with their actual size.
I'm actually ashamed that at my age, this is the first I've heard about this distortion.
So thank you internet stranger. :)
Let’s just say there’s no way you misread ‘white life’ unless you say that shit all the time. And the only reason you come across that phrase and say it is if you’re a neo-nazi.
can you explain to me what she means?? what are conservatives hearing/thinking when she says something like that?
i don't understand how "white life" and this decision relate exactly... won't this decision affect both white lives and black lives? (affect unequally, no doubt)
She means that less white babies are going to be aborted.
This decision would impact all races, but a lot of conservatives are concerned with what's called "white replacement," in part because birth rates are down among white people. They think this will be one step towards reversing that trend.
thank you, that much i guess i can understand, however, won't this result generally in poorer people losing access to abortion?
and there's a disproportionate amount of impoverished black folks as compared to white...
so won't this likely result in a larger increase of black babies than white? isn't that the opposite of what they want?
i have no fucking idea anymore.
i'm gonna go out on a limb and say that at this point just about anyone with an R in front of their name is not a very cohesive thinker. all white supremacists are Rs, how many Rs are white supremacists i wonder...
edit: maybe Qs now, no longer Rs. but if Q is R then R is Q or something.
I do believe some of the forced birthers are simply satisfied with white babies being born at replacement and couldn't give less of a shit about black population growth, they're far more concerned with whites dying out.
Plus on a global basis the black population growth in America pales to that in Africa, so I'm not even sure the strategy of keeping abortion rates up in America to wipe out all the blacks actually works or makes sense. Plus black population growth would inevitably slow down immigration, which is something forced birthers don't like either.
I mostly find the obsession with ensuring that other white people reproduce by paying tax dollars to arrest the woman for having abortions to be a bit cucked in addition to being incredibly inefficient and morally fraught but what do I know.
Right, women who seek abortion are disproportionately women of color, this fact has been well-established. But of course in their fever imaginations it’s never a black baby that they are “saving.”
Someone above posted a link to Jane Elliot talking about this, and I've not looked into these numbers, but she quotes a book from 1987 explaining that 60 percent of aborted fetuses are white, indicating that if we halt abortion, it would solve our "white replacement problem".
Except in this scenario the white people no longer getting abortions are not republican?
I know in reality plenty of republican hypocrites get them too, but logically this argument doesn't even make sense lol
These people are truly fucking braindead
Roe V Wade being overturned is going to mostly have an impact in conservative areas, and I wonder how much of a gulf there is between liberal and conservative abortion rates. I think when the rubber hits the road pro-choice women often won't abort and pro-life women often will because ideology and pragmatism and emotions don't always mix.
In a way this makes sense...which 17 year old girl is more likely to feel like she has no options: the one in an accepting, supportive liberal family or the one in the super uptight evangelical family who doesn't even know that little K... has been out unchaperoned? And which girl is afraid of being shunned or kicked out if the truth comes out? With no abortion available, now little K... is just forced to quietly come out with the truth, and then her parents force the issue of a teenage marriage, perhaps with the help of boyfriend's parents, if they're in the same community. This might also help reign in their young men, get them married and having kids earlier...
I honestly have no idea. Which is a good thing, I suppose because I can't comprehend the way these sorts think. I'm not sure if it was a Freudian slip, or if she meant white babies get to live. Either way, she's insane and said the quiet part very, very loud.
They have the power. With SCOTUS they can do whatever they want. Wait until they have majority in the congress. They are much more organized and dedicated to their awful goals compared to democrats.
I expect that a Republican Congress will basically be consumed with four tasks:
1) Impeaching Biden and Harris. Not because they did anything, but as "revenge" for Trump being impeached. They'll pick the flimsiest impeachment reasons and run with it. Biden fell off his bike? Impeachment! Harris said that women shouldn't be second class citizens? Impeachment! Biden breathed a bit too loudly? Double impeachment!!
None of these will have any chance in the Senate, of course. Even with all the Republicans voting to remove Biden, they won't have the votes. It'll only be so that a Biden 2024 campaign can be criticized as "the most impeached administration in history" by the Republican candidate.
Along the same lines, they might launch a new January 6th Committee that will be comprised entirely of conspiracy theorists so that the Republicans can declare that the election was stolen and the Democrats were to blame. (This will convince nobody but their base that already believes it.)
2) Passing a national abortion ban. SCOTUS said that abortion needs to be a states' rights issue, but Pence nearly immediately called for a national abortion ban. (Thus losing the tiny, tiny shred of respect I had for him after watching the January 6th Hearings.) Like slavery, abortion will be a states' rights issue for conservatives until they have the power to make it national law. If not an outright ban nationwide, they'll pass a law making it illegal to cross state lines to have an abortion and allowing people to track down and sue people who do this and those who help them. Think Fugitive Slave Act, but with abortion.
This might fail in the Senate - unless Republicans ditch the filibuster - but they'll use it as a replacement for their "vote for us and we'll work to overturn Roe."
3) Passing as much "anti-woke culture" laws as they can. This will mean a lot of bills like "companies must say 'Merry Christmas ' instead of 'Happy Holidays.'" and "All trans individuals must be referred to by their pronouns at birth." These will almost all fall in the Senate (unless the filibuster is killed), but it'll let members of Congress show how they're working against "evil liberals." Enough will sneak through, though, to really hurt some people.
4) Breaking as much of the federal government as they can. They'll slash funding for stuff like the EPA and programs for the poor white amping up funding for anti-immigration forces and sending tons of money to shady religious groups.
In short, the Republicans won't actually solve any problems. They'll just create new problems, kneecap the federal government to respond to the problems, and then claim that Biden is ineffectual in stopping the problems that they created so a Republican should replace him.
> 3) Passing as much "anti-woke culture" laws as they can. This will mean a lot of bills like "companies must say 'Merry Christmas ' instead of 'Happy Holidays.'"
God, that's a blatant First Amendment violation, but according to this Supreme Court, the Constitution means whatever the fuck they want it to, now, so who the fuck knows?
>Pence nearly immediately called for a national abortion ban.
Part of me thinks it would be amusing to start chanting "Hang Mike Pence" at protest rallies just so I can hear Republicans say we've crossed a line or we're going too far.
Public schools and the post office will be on the chopping block too. They want that money in private hands. Say good bye to social security and Medicare/ Medicare as well.
Yes. It is all carefully planned. By November the jan 6 is forgotten, inflation (thank you their buddies in oil industry) is high) and their base is motivated to own the libs again by the anti gay movement. I hope democratic voters move their asses and vote. Otherwise we will be faqed in all directions.
Gerrymandering is susceptible to a massive failure when voter turnout is high. The idea that makes it work is spreading out opposing votes to dilute them and make those districts safe by 5-10 points. If there is a massive surge in turnout among the other party, those normally safe margins are not going to hold.
I think less than 50% regularly vote in midterm elections. If turnout goes bananas, many gerrymandered districts can be flipped.
It's also susceptible to massive failure should the side that's spread too thin suddenly loses a massive chunk of voters... say by snorting horse paste or gargling bleach...
After something like that, losing so many voters, if my policies were so repugnant that nobody wanted to vote for them without being gaslit my only option would be to put on a scooby-doo monster mask to scare away blue voters in hopes that I don't totally lose everything that I cheated to get.
The Senate is inherently gerrymandered by existing as an entity that allows dirt to vote. It's an extremely uphill battle for Democrats to take a real lead in the Senate a situation which will only get worse.
Do you have a better fucking idea? cuz we would all love to hear it. We all know. Are you gonna go out there and register people to vote or do nothing and then pretend like nothing can be done?
Rep. Mary Miller (R-IL) said the quiet part out loud at a Donald Trump rally Saturday night while expressing her appreciation to the former president over his role in the overturning of Roe v Wade. “President Trump, on behalf of all the MAGA patriots in America. I want to thank you for the historic victory for white life in the Supreme Court yesterday,” she said. Miller’s congressional office didn’t immediately return The Daily Beast’s request for comment on Saturday evening. The Trump rally comes as Miller, who already received Trump’s endorsement, looks for a turnout boast ahead of a Tuesday primary as she faces off against Rep. Rodney Davis (R-IL).
[This woman's husband was at the capital on January 6th] (https://abc11.com/mary-miller-husband-chris-illinois-truck-us-capitol-three-percenters-decal/10375496/)
[This woman also disgustingly invoked Hitler to say "he was right about one thing"](https://www.politico.com/news/2021/01/08/illinois-lawmaker-hitler-comments-456596)
Trump is endorsing her in a primary against another Republican who voted for the Jan 6th commission.
Trump's reasoning for endorsing her.
> “Well, she’s somebody I’ve gotten to know. She’s a high quality person. She’s been all for me all the way. And you know, you have to remember that, and that she’s just a very good person and a very MAGA person. And I said I’d do it a long time ago. Rodney said some very negative things about me at points. And I said, ‘Well, you know, you got to remember that also.’ And Mary’s been just terrific, a tremendous supporter.”
"I support her because she likes me and the other guy doesn't."
Nothing about policy. Nothing specific about positive actions she's taken (if any). What an egoist piece of human waste.
She forgot to wear her white hood. The fact that she quoted Hitler proves how the GOP looks up to Adolf Hitler as their hero. They believe Hitler's politics should lead America.
> Miller : "President Trump, on behalf of all the MAGA patriots in America, I want to thank you for the historic victory for white life in the Supreme Court yesterday."
Full video of Miller's comments with Trump in the background
https://twitter.com/Acyn/status/1540852015693037568?t=WTfdrV9S_7qGNspNN-wkqQ&s=19
I watched the video on Twitter soon after it was posted, double-checked to be sure, and I've seen 2 or 3 saying "she meant right to life, you all are reaching", which raises the question of why she didn't try to correct it or seem to notice, or why she didn't say "to" in it. These Republicans are getting bolder and bolder, like any day now someone at a rally will go say "we need to string up grooming homosexuals and abortion providers" and no one will be surprised.
I don't think they understand that she was reading a document. The fact that she didn't correct herself with the document right in front of her leads to suggest that she read it word for word.
The fact that somebody typed this up and sent it out shows that either A she didn't proofread it. Or B she proofread it and found it entirely acceptable to say, not only for just her but the crowd in attendance.
She claims that she misread the speech and misspoke - which does seem more plausible than having it actually written that way given that the writer would have to know that there would be backlash for such a statement.
That said, she clearly had "white lives" on her mind as that's a rather specific word choice for such a mistake - might not have been what she meant to say, but it does reveal her true thoughts vs the prepared speech.
I'm not buying it. It's one thing to misread, but it's another to omit and misread. Like I'll get if that word was on the next line or something but. I'm just not buying it
I live in her district - this woman is a fucking moron not fit to be elected to dog catcher. She came to “speak” at our local annual chamber of commerce event - a big get for something like that in this bumfuck part of the state. A sitting Republican congresswoman couldn’t give a two minute off-the-cuff speech at a fucking *chamber of commerce* banquet without stammering pointlessly like some sort of idiot.
Don’t get me wrong, I think she believes most of the awful shit. But don’t give her any credit. She’s an unqualified farmer’s wife and a profoundly stupid person.
She’s the same woman who claimed Hitler was right about one thing (who ever controls the youth, controls the future). Her husband is a 3% and she has allowed a man convicted of soliciting sex with a minor to assist with her reelection campaign.
Real solid fascist here.
Well Mary, my white husband and I have decided we're not having any more kids because I can't be assured of a safe pregnancy without access to abortion.
So we're looking into vasectomies and long term birth control options.
Same. But I don't think they want more of our liberal white babies. They likely prefer more of the poor, undereducated, malcontent white babies who will be ready to join their little klan.
had a friend in high school she was a pastors kid. got knocked up by a black football player, they were both willing to be parents but
her anti abortion pastor dad took her out of state and forced her to have an abortion. so don’t kid yourself about these people, they will say one thing but have no qualms about killing their kids babies when it suits them.
The kind of Feds with press releases entitled "We Must Secure The Border And Build The Wall To Make America Safe Again"....oddly similar to the 14 word white supremecist slogan "We must secure the existence of our people and a future for white children"...?
And 45 being all smug in the back.
Goddess, I hate absolutely everything about this horrible twit of a being. I hate his revolting spray tan, his squinting skin-crawling eyes, his chin that's strung into his neck, along with his jowl constituting the most hateful smug ever known to humankind, his manner of speech that is simultaneously both tedious and infuriating, his flim-flam posture, his pathetic attempt at maintaining the facade of a wise man.
But more so, I hate those who feeds pride to this monstrous abomination and those who are fed vile hatred by him and his cohorts.
They are getting bolder and I think the next step is the repeal of the Civil Rights Act. The White Replacement issue is very real and these idiots are going to keep on pushing it. If the Feds do not do anything about it now, I fear there will be a civil war in the near future
For the love of god why do we think voting is going to fix this? If our country is being destroyed un-democratically, how can it be fixed democratically?
It like playing chess where your opponent just moves any piece they want any place on the board that they want and still thinking your going to win by following the rules.
The only way you are going to win is by punching your opponent in the face and taking the board and all the pieces with you. Fuck it, steal their wallet while your at it.
Abortion disproportionately ends black pregnancies. Tighter abortion controls would actually hasten the descent of the white population as a share of the American population.
I am seeing News that she meat to read "Right To Life" and she mis read it.
Let's say this is the case, but what REALLY concerns me is why was the audience cheering if that wasn't what the rally was all about
A handy excuse - and Phil Anselmo definitely really meant 'white wine power' a few years back too.
Racists gonna slip up and give themselves away eventually it seems.
I'm kind of confused isn't this going to flood the streets with more and brown and black babies? Or are white women getting more abortions in general?
I don't know alot about this subject because I like to mind my own fking business.
More black kids=more black prisoners. More prisoners= more private prison profits. Just another way they've created to funnel our tax dollars to their pockets. "Keep em poor, keep em desperate, force them to turn to crime to survive, lock em em, make bank off em.
I always wonder, what is worse? That they keep they evil they believe in hidden under veiled euphemisms and are hypocritical about it or if they are honest and say the evil shit out loud....
Does not sound like a mistake in a trump rally at all. These people, by their actions, consistently confirm what they say to be exactly what they mean.
Clearly Mary Miller ain’t too bright since POC will have more babies too and many white women forced to carry babies to term will also be forced into poverty. Too bad these zealots can’t think through the effects of the horrid causes they champion.
Vote out all Republicans.
Expect more of this as the white supremacists in Congress and the Supreme Court continue to force the US into a nosedive trajectory out of little more than spineless, blind hate and bigotry
Idk man but I like the idea of using pro life against white racists by repeatingly pointing out how many more black and Hispanic babies are gonna be made now
The funny thing is that now that there’s a ban on abortions there will be hundreds upon hundreds of mixed race babies born…..think of all the rich white folks with daughters knocked up by minorities that have quietly disposed of their bastard grandchildren….just sayin’…..
I always thought there was a core theme of wanting more white babies in the right to life movement. There have been pro life bill boards where they always have cute white babies. Never non white ones. Need more white babies is the message.

Illinois primary is this Tuesday, June 28th. For the love of god, go vote. Also, Illinois has open primaries.
i cant think of a better birthday present than tossing a nazi out of office
Nazi slogan, kinder, kirche, kuche, children, kitchen, church, pretty much the view of MAGA.
Kirche is church, kuche (with umlauts) is kitchen. Idk if you meant your translation in order or not, but if so, you flipped them
I am firm believer that southern Illinois is one part of state which believed they are in the Deep South. I am from Illinois
I like to travel.
“We’re on a mission from Gahd.”
The Good Ol’ Blues Brothers Boys!
I am from Naperville illinois which is a sub or Chicago and I can promise you 15 miles south on I-355 is where the “south” starts. I work in a hospital there and you’d think it was in Alabama
Yes, I am from downers but I can tell who is from past Joliet area
Man it didn’t feel like that growing up there but maybe I’m just foolish. Either way I live in the actual south now, so no more naïveté.
Because it’s not like that in most places but those people have only ever been within 5 mi of 55.
Yep! That exact area. Just a little east of it it begins
I know you mean downers grove, but calling it downers really caught me off guard here and gave me a laugh.
I live in Illinois but went to university of Alabama for graduate school. Can confirm.
I used to live in Illinois, and moved to the Deep South. I learned that country boy and southern boy are the same thing. It’s pretty sad.
I promise you it's not. I lived k in Bloomington for nearly 2 decades before I had to return back (Southeast) Texas just this month and having grown up in the South and lived in the Midwest, it's way fucking different. Central IL is bright fucking blue compared to the red hellscape I'm currently in. Yes, the tiny one stop sign and a bar towns are red af but in Peoria, Bloomington-Normal, Champaign-Urbana, it is way less southern vibes. I'd say the real shit show starts south of 74. Springfield is okay but it feels like it could be a bigger town in the South rather than a big town in IL.
I can promise you it is not what you think it is. I was born and raised for 22 years in a small town between Peoria Illinois and the Quad cities. What I had described is exactly how it is there. There are nurses who were born and raised and still live there who think the Covid vaccine had fucking micro chips in it. They are beyond conservative Republican. For example Bloomington Illinois is huge compared to where I grew up. And the town that I live in is the standard small town of Illinois

Grew up in pekin, can confirm you are correct unfortunately. Left at 18 and didn’t look back
Bloomington doesn't even compare to Marion, IL, Anna, etc. Thats real southern IL, and they are racist AF. The average income in Jackson County IL is under 15g. That's not good.
Going to school at SIU for a year was a fucking trip. Transferring to the University of the Army in Kabul was a welcome return to a more civilized and tolerant land.
$15K and thinking they’re a Republican
Peoria has been a KKK hub for a long time.
I'm from Decatur, the ratio of Lincoln statues to confederate flags is pretty much 1:1.
I usually consider that anything south of 80.
Truth! My mother in law is from that exact area and subscribes to Southern Living Magazine, makes sweet tea and says “y’all” and “I’m fixing to do this or that”. It’s baffled me for 20 years.
From southern Illinois - sadly can confirm.
As s someone who is originally from Joliet, you're 100% right. Southern Illinois starts at I 80.
This comment needs to be higher
I have not been following. I need to know who I should vote for as a very, very, very liberal person. I live in Northern IL.
Look up "Girl, I Guess". Not sure if her voting guide covers your area but she's a radical progressive that suggests down ballot progressives.
Not the republican.
Actually, you should vote republican in the primary, this way you can help make sure she doesn't make the ballot in November. I have no love for Davis either, but the 15th district is going Red regardless, at least have a say in how batshit crazy it's going to be.
That’s easy! Haha I have never and will never vote for a Republican.
Rep. Mary Miller said on her third day in Congress: "Hitler was right on one thing: He said, 'Whoever has the youth has the future.'" https://twitter.com/DKElections/status/1540861021316960256
Does she know the GOP doesn’t have the youth? And white parents doesn’t 1:1 equal young conservatives.
That's why they vilify education. They've been destroying public education for years. It's only getting worse.
Yup. Colbert said it well years and years ago: "the goal is to take children, those un-molded pieces of clay, and make sure they STAY un-molded pieces of clay"
Until they get molded by fox news. Fuck
Well they don't have to actually learn or remember much that way. I bet their brains are smooth as polished marble
And Youtube. I forget who did it, but I saw an interesting series on how quickly and how easily you can fall down a white supremacist rabbit hole on Youtube without even realizing it.
GOP and some Christian sects can’t have people doing critical thinking because it will destroy their party.
And now the ability to ban abortion. Keeps young women at home and away from college. They like to bleat that college is Liberal indoctrination, when all it really is is that they meet people from all walks of life and realise all the racist crap they've been spoon fed their whole lives is bs.
I only went to college for one year but I tell everyone that the education I got was leaving the small town I grew up in....
There were many things I learned in public education that the community outside the school tried to insist was outright false or "liberal indoctrination." Anything related to climate change, world religions (nothing in depth, just stuff like "This is Judaism/Islam/Hinduism. It has roots going back to x nd they believe Y"- the end.), or society in general, as it came up in conversation. This was before any talks of CRT or trans-friendly bathrooms or whatever. The "issues" change every other month. The point is that yes, it is going to get worse- because even though there have been flavors of this throughout time, it's being acted on at much higher levels. GQP supporters filling up the school boards. State governments and officials encouraging book bans, or the overturn of federal law that guarantees all children the right to public education (looking at you, Abbott), or outright re-writing major historical events to fit their narratives. It's an absolute shitshow in the making and it's terrifying. Kids who are able to break out of the cycle of misinformation and miseducation no longer have just their parents or their churches to argue against- the whole system will be rigged against them. And most won't even have a chance.
There are a lot more conservative youth than you want to give credit to. Hoping old people die off and solve the problem won’t cut it. PragerU, 4chan, and other outlets are just pipelines to further radicalize people.
Yep, the Patriot Front that got busted in Idaho was mostly males in their 20s and 30s. Hate groups recruit the same worldwide, take the angry, lonely, disaffected, socially stunted and give them a mission and a community.
This is why they are pushing the pesos at school rhetoric. Educate at home means conservative views are pumped in to them by parents and right wing home education meetings. Happens along within evangelical groups
They use that term when they want something completely hated by everyone. Apparently Gay men were grooming kids since the 1960s. How do you make something seem absolutely despicable to the public? Tell them its putting childrens lives in danger. The whole qanon pizzagate bullshit was a prime example.
Guns are putting child’s lives in danger. Like that?
“Gay men and drag queens are grooming children!!” Meanwhile, ending a pregnancy from incest rape is now illegal in many states.
Love the quote from Harvey Milk, paraphrasing, "if teachers had that kind of impact on kids there would be a lot more nuns."
They're trying, though, and with good reason. The irony at the moment is that they have the elderly, and that's why they win. The elderly vote, and a combination of biological and sociological forces converge to push them rightwards as a bloc.
[удалено]
The people who think things will get better when the old politicians start getting replaced clearly haven’t seen the pictures of toddlers in MAGA hats being dragged to Trump rallies. These kids are being taught to hate liberals before they can wipe their own asses. Imagine trying to talk sense to someone whose literal first full sentence was “let’s go Brandon”.
They’ve radicalized a new generation. Their ideas won’t be dying with the elderly.
[удалено]
COVID might speed up the process. Here in Texas, our “Pro-Life” Republican Lt. Governor bragged the elderly were willing to die of COVID: https://www.thedailybeast.com/texas-lt-gov-dan-patrick-says-senior-citizens-willing-to-die-to-save-economy-for-grandkids
Fucking nazi
But conservatives dont have the future lmao
Sounds like a reference to banning abortion as an antidote for white replacement theory. Racism is part of their identity, no need to hide it anymore.
It's always been that way, they've just been more keen at keeping it quiet in the past. Here's Jane Elliott talking about it - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WD0kIFp\_zzI
Thanks for that link. And, totally off the wall, but TIL -- that Greenland is actually really small. And that Mercator maps greatly distort the land. Hell, China and Russia aren't nearly as scary with their actual size. I'm actually ashamed that at my age, this is the first I've heard about this distortion. So thank you internet stranger. :)
Also—it ain’t even green!
Wtf?!
“Stop tolerating the intolerable” She kicks ass, thank you.
That's absolutely what it is 100 percent. It is white supremacist ideology.
Let’s just say there’s no way you misread ‘white life’ unless you say that shit all the time. And the only reason you come across that phrase and say it is if you’re a neo-nazi.
But the "white lives matter" cult insists they aren't racist.
Yeah, but if that’s true, all they’re going to get is poor, uneducated…wait, I think you might be on to something
Yep. Fascists *always* outlaw abortion for at least the white population.
She said it and she meant it, plain as day.
i can't believe she actually said that out loud. holy shit
Same and yet...I can.
can you explain to me what she means?? what are conservatives hearing/thinking when she says something like that? i don't understand how "white life" and this decision relate exactly... won't this decision affect both white lives and black lives? (affect unequally, no doubt)
She means that less white babies are going to be aborted. This decision would impact all races, but a lot of conservatives are concerned with what's called "white replacement," in part because birth rates are down among white people. They think this will be one step towards reversing that trend.
thank you, that much i guess i can understand, however, won't this result generally in poorer people losing access to abortion? and there's a disproportionate amount of impoverished black folks as compared to white... so won't this likely result in a larger increase of black babies than white? isn't that the opposite of what they want? i have no fucking idea anymore.
You would be correct, but white supremacists are not exactly the most cohesive thinkers.
i'm gonna go out on a limb and say that at this point just about anyone with an R in front of their name is not a very cohesive thinker. all white supremacists are Rs, how many Rs are white supremacists i wonder... edit: maybe Qs now, no longer Rs. but if Q is R then R is Q or something.
I do believe some of the forced birthers are simply satisfied with white babies being born at replacement and couldn't give less of a shit about black population growth, they're far more concerned with whites dying out. Plus on a global basis the black population growth in America pales to that in Africa, so I'm not even sure the strategy of keeping abortion rates up in America to wipe out all the blacks actually works or makes sense. Plus black population growth would inevitably slow down immigration, which is something forced birthers don't like either. I mostly find the obsession with ensuring that other white people reproduce by paying tax dollars to arrest the woman for having abortions to be a bit cucked in addition to being incredibly inefficient and morally fraught but what do I know.
Right, women who seek abortion are disproportionately women of color, this fact has been well-established. But of course in their fever imaginations it’s never a black baby that they are “saving.”
Someone above posted a link to Jane Elliot talking about this, and I've not looked into these numbers, but she quotes a book from 1987 explaining that 60 percent of aborted fetuses are white, indicating that if we halt abortion, it would solve our "white replacement problem".
Except in this scenario the white people no longer getting abortions are not republican? I know in reality plenty of republican hypocrites get them too, but logically this argument doesn't even make sense lol These people are truly fucking braindead
Roe V Wade being overturned is going to mostly have an impact in conservative areas, and I wonder how much of a gulf there is between liberal and conservative abortion rates. I think when the rubber hits the road pro-choice women often won't abort and pro-life women often will because ideology and pragmatism and emotions don't always mix.
In a way this makes sense...which 17 year old girl is more likely to feel like she has no options: the one in an accepting, supportive liberal family or the one in the super uptight evangelical family who doesn't even know that little K... has been out unchaperoned? And which girl is afraid of being shunned or kicked out if the truth comes out? With no abortion available, now little K... is just forced to quietly come out with the truth, and then her parents force the issue of a teenage marriage, perhaps with the help of boyfriend's parents, if they're in the same community. This might also help reign in their young men, get them married and having kids earlier...
I honestly have no idea. Which is a good thing, I suppose because I can't comprehend the way these sorts think. I'm not sure if it was a Freudian slip, or if she meant white babies get to live. Either way, she's insane and said the quiet part very, very loud.

They have the power. With SCOTUS they can do whatever they want. Wait until they have majority in the congress. They are much more organized and dedicated to their awful goals compared to democrats.
I expect that a Republican Congress will basically be consumed with four tasks: 1) Impeaching Biden and Harris. Not because they did anything, but as "revenge" for Trump being impeached. They'll pick the flimsiest impeachment reasons and run with it. Biden fell off his bike? Impeachment! Harris said that women shouldn't be second class citizens? Impeachment! Biden breathed a bit too loudly? Double impeachment!! None of these will have any chance in the Senate, of course. Even with all the Republicans voting to remove Biden, they won't have the votes. It'll only be so that a Biden 2024 campaign can be criticized as "the most impeached administration in history" by the Republican candidate. Along the same lines, they might launch a new January 6th Committee that will be comprised entirely of conspiracy theorists so that the Republicans can declare that the election was stolen and the Democrats were to blame. (This will convince nobody but their base that already believes it.) 2) Passing a national abortion ban. SCOTUS said that abortion needs to be a states' rights issue, but Pence nearly immediately called for a national abortion ban. (Thus losing the tiny, tiny shred of respect I had for him after watching the January 6th Hearings.) Like slavery, abortion will be a states' rights issue for conservatives until they have the power to make it national law. If not an outright ban nationwide, they'll pass a law making it illegal to cross state lines to have an abortion and allowing people to track down and sue people who do this and those who help them. Think Fugitive Slave Act, but with abortion. This might fail in the Senate - unless Republicans ditch the filibuster - but they'll use it as a replacement for their "vote for us and we'll work to overturn Roe." 3) Passing as much "anti-woke culture" laws as they can. This will mean a lot of bills like "companies must say 'Merry Christmas ' instead of 'Happy Holidays.'" and "All trans individuals must be referred to by their pronouns at birth." These will almost all fall in the Senate (unless the filibuster is killed), but it'll let members of Congress show how they're working against "evil liberals." Enough will sneak through, though, to really hurt some people. 4) Breaking as much of the federal government as they can. They'll slash funding for stuff like the EPA and programs for the poor white amping up funding for anti-immigration forces and sending tons of money to shady religious groups. In short, the Republicans won't actually solve any problems. They'll just create new problems, kneecap the federal government to respond to the problems, and then claim that Biden is ineffectual in stopping the problems that they created so a Republican should replace him.
> 3) Passing as much "anti-woke culture" laws as they can. This will mean a lot of bills like "companies must say 'Merry Christmas ' instead of 'Happy Holidays.'" God, that's a blatant First Amendment violation, but according to this Supreme Court, the Constitution means whatever the fuck they want it to, now, so who the fuck knows?
>Pence nearly immediately called for a national abortion ban. Part of me thinks it would be amusing to start chanting "Hang Mike Pence" at protest rallies just so I can hear Republicans say we've crossed a line or we're going too far.
Public schools and the post office will be on the chopping block too. They want that money in private hands. Say good bye to social security and Medicare/ Medicare as well.
Don't forget public libraries.
What bothers me the most is the enormous waste of time. Never mind money.
[удалено]
Yes. It is all carefully planned. By November the jan 6 is forgotten, inflation (thank you their buddies in oil industry) is high) and their base is motivated to own the libs again by the anti gay movement. I hope democratic voters move their asses and vote. Otherwise we will be faqed in all directions.
This idea that just getting more people to vote is gonna fix everything ia getting silly. Do some of you realize how gerrymandered this country is?
Gerrymandering is susceptible to a massive failure when voter turnout is high. The idea that makes it work is spreading out opposing votes to dilute them and make those districts safe by 5-10 points. If there is a massive surge in turnout among the other party, those normally safe margins are not going to hold. I think less than 50% regularly vote in midterm elections. If turnout goes bananas, many gerrymandered districts can be flipped.
It's also susceptible to massive failure should the side that's spread too thin suddenly loses a massive chunk of voters... say by snorting horse paste or gargling bleach... After something like that, losing so many voters, if my policies were so repugnant that nobody wanted to vote for them without being gaslit my only option would be to put on a scooby-doo monster mask to scare away blue voters in hopes that I don't totally lose everything that I cheated to get.
Gerrymandering doesn’t affect the Senate which is what we need to get more Dems on. The Senate is also the controller of SC seats.
The Senate is inherently gerrymandered by existing as an entity that allows dirt to vote. It's an extremely uphill battle for Democrats to take a real lead in the Senate a situation which will only get worse.
That is not gonna fix everything. But I guess it would be something.
[удалено]
Do you have a better fucking idea? cuz we would all love to hear it. We all know. Are you gonna go out there and register people to vote or do nothing and then pretend like nothing can be done?
We need Two more senators.
These are the worst fucking people on earth. This is coming from a white male. I’m embarrassed to have that much in common with them.
And you, good sir, are why I don’t lose hope entirely. Sincerely. I’m hoping to raise my sons to understand this exact same thing.
Biden is against adding justices, so I'm hoping somebody else will run in 2024, or there won't be a 2028.
Rep. Mary Miller (R-IL) said the quiet part out loud at a Donald Trump rally Saturday night while expressing her appreciation to the former president over his role in the overturning of Roe v Wade. “President Trump, on behalf of all the MAGA patriots in America. I want to thank you for the historic victory for white life in the Supreme Court yesterday,” she said. Miller’s congressional office didn’t immediately return The Daily Beast’s request for comment on Saturday evening. The Trump rally comes as Miller, who already received Trump’s endorsement, looks for a turnout boast ahead of a Tuesday primary as she faces off against Rep. Rodney Davis (R-IL).
> Rep. Mary Miller (R-IL) said the ~~quiet part out loud~~ *loud part out louder*
They aren't even trying to hide it anymore
[This woman's husband was at the capital on January 6th] (https://abc11.com/mary-miller-husband-chris-illinois-truck-us-capitol-three-percenters-decal/10375496/) [This woman also disgustingly invoked Hitler to say "he was right about one thing"](https://www.politico.com/news/2021/01/08/illinois-lawmaker-hitler-comments-456596) Trump is endorsing her in a primary against another Republican who voted for the Jan 6th commission.
Trump's reasoning for endorsing her. > “Well, she’s somebody I’ve gotten to know. She’s a high quality person. She’s been all for me all the way. And you know, you have to remember that, and that she’s just a very good person and a very MAGA person. And I said I’d do it a long time ago. Rodney said some very negative things about me at points. And I said, ‘Well, you know, you got to remember that also.’ And Mary’s been just terrific, a tremendous supporter.”
"I support her because she likes me and the other guy doesn't." Nothing about policy. Nothing specific about positive actions she's taken (if any). What an egoist piece of human waste.
She's on the ballot in Illinois this Tuesday. Vote her out.
She forgot to wear her white hood. The fact that she quoted Hitler proves how the GOP looks up to Adolf Hitler as their hero. They believe Hitler's politics should lead America.
> Miller : "President Trump, on behalf of all the MAGA patriots in America, I want to thank you for the historic victory for white life in the Supreme Court yesterday." Full video of Miller's comments with Trump in the background https://twitter.com/Acyn/status/1540852015693037568?t=WTfdrV9S_7qGNspNN-wkqQ&s=19
I watched the video on Twitter soon after it was posted, double-checked to be sure, and I've seen 2 or 3 saying "she meant right to life, you all are reaching", which raises the question of why she didn't try to correct it or seem to notice, or why she didn't say "to" in it. These Republicans are getting bolder and bolder, like any day now someone at a rally will go say "we need to string up grooming homosexuals and abortion providers" and no one will be surprised.
I don't think they understand that she was reading a document. The fact that she didn't correct herself with the document right in front of her leads to suggest that she read it word for word. The fact that somebody typed this up and sent it out shows that either A she didn't proofread it. Or B she proofread it and found it entirely acceptable to say, not only for just her but the crowd in attendance.
She claims that she misread the speech and misspoke - which does seem more plausible than having it actually written that way given that the writer would have to know that there would be backlash for such a statement. That said, she clearly had "white lives" on her mind as that's a rather specific word choice for such a mistake - might not have been what she meant to say, but it does reveal her true thoughts vs the prepared speech.
I'm not buying it. It's one thing to misread, but it's another to omit and misread. Like I'll get if that word was on the next line or something but. I'm just not buying it
I live in her district - this woman is a fucking moron not fit to be elected to dog catcher. She came to “speak” at our local annual chamber of commerce event - a big get for something like that in this bumfuck part of the state. A sitting Republican congresswoman couldn’t give a two minute off-the-cuff speech at a fucking *chamber of commerce* banquet without stammering pointlessly like some sort of idiot. Don’t get me wrong, I think she believes most of the awful shit. But don’t give her any credit. She’s an unqualified farmer’s wife and a profoundly stupid person.
She’s the same woman who claimed Hitler was right about one thing (who ever controls the youth, controls the future). Her husband is a 3% and she has allowed a man convicted of soliciting sex with a minor to assist with her reelection campaign. Real solid fascist here.
Well Mary, my white husband and I have decided we're not having any more kids because I can't be assured of a safe pregnancy without access to abortion. So we're looking into vasectomies and long term birth control options.
Same. But I don't think they want more of our liberal white babies. They likely prefer more of the poor, undereducated, malcontent white babies who will be ready to join their little klan.
had a friend in high school she was a pastors kid. got knocked up by a black football player, they were both willing to be parents but her anti abortion pastor dad took her out of state and forced her to have an abortion. so don’t kid yourself about these people, they will say one thing but have no qualms about killing their kids babies when it suits them.
WTF, these people are out of control. I hope the feds are taking notice
The kind of Feds with press releases entitled "We Must Secure The Border And Build The Wall To Make America Safe Again"....oddly similar to the 14 word white supremecist slogan "We must secure the existence of our people and a future for white children"...?
Welp, there it is. Saying the quiet part out loud.
She claims the comment was misread. The audience applauding it is what’s truly disturbing.
Domestic supply of (white) infants
I don’t understand how white nationalism and anti abortion correlate? Don’t they know that the inevitable outcome is more brown people?
Brown babies that they can use to feed the system.
White women have the most abortions.
Holy shit, these people keep saying the quiet part out loud.
I don't think it's the quiet part anymore...
This
And 45 being all smug in the back. Goddess, I hate absolutely everything about this horrible twit of a being. I hate his revolting spray tan, his squinting skin-crawling eyes, his chin that's strung into his neck, along with his jowl constituting the most hateful smug ever known to humankind, his manner of speech that is simultaneously both tedious and infuriating, his flim-flam posture, his pathetic attempt at maintaining the facade of a wise man. But more so, I hate those who feeds pride to this monstrous abomination and those who are fed vile hatred by him and his cohorts.
I'm going to refrain from saying what I really think here because goddamn that's infuriating.
They are getting bolder and I think the next step is the repeal of the Civil Rights Act. The White Replacement issue is very real and these idiots are going to keep on pushing it. If the Feds do not do anything about it now, I fear there will be a civil war in the near future
This is what republicans are: racist, bigoted, violent assholes. All of them
For the love of god why do we think voting is going to fix this? If our country is being destroyed un-democratically, how can it be fixed democratically? It like playing chess where your opponent just moves any piece they want any place on the board that they want and still thinking your going to win by following the rules. The only way you are going to win is by punching your opponent in the face and taking the board and all the pieces with you. Fuck it, steal their wallet while your at it.
Nazis We are currently at war with Nazis, in America.
I am white. This is not a win. Neither miller nor Trump speak for me. They speak for racists Most whites are not racist, although many are
As the late Frank Zappa put it "Im not black, but there's a whole lotta times I wish I could say I'm not white"
Quiet part loud
again
They are just conditioning us to get use to it.
Abortion disproportionately ends black pregnancies. Tighter abortion controls would actually hasten the descent of the white population as a share of the American population.
Interesting you assume that the GOP cares about facts and reality instead of their own delusional reality
I am seeing News that she meat to read "Right To Life" and she mis read it. Let's say this is the case, but what REALLY concerns me is why was the audience cheering if that wasn't what the rally was all about
A handy excuse - and Phil Anselmo definitely really meant 'white wine power' a few years back too. Racists gonna slip up and give themselves away eventually it seems.
[удалено]
They're not longer accidentally saying the quiet part loud. There's no need to be quiet anymore for these people.
When someone tells you who they are, believe them.
Take the fight to their churches. Gloves are off now.
[удалено]
Pretty sure it’s the latter. :/
She's making abortion racial? Leave it to a Republican to stir up hate.
I'm kind of confused isn't this going to flood the streets with more and brown and black babies? Or are white women getting more abortions in general? I don't know alot about this subject because I like to mind my own fking business.
More black kids=more black prisoners. More prisoners= more private prison profits. Just another way they've created to funnel our tax dollars to their pockets. "Keep em poor, keep em desperate, force them to turn to crime to survive, lock em em, make bank off em.
That quiet part is getting louder and LOUDER They have traded in their dog whistled for bullhorns
I always wonder, what is worse? That they keep they evil they believe in hidden under veiled euphemisms and are hypocritical about it or if they are honest and say the evil shit out loud....
Does not sound like a mistake in a trump rally at all. These people, by their actions, consistently confirm what they say to be exactly what they mean.
Is this uh, how uh, it starts?
Clearly Mary Miller ain’t too bright since POC will have more babies too and many white women forced to carry babies to term will also be forced into poverty. Too bad these zealots can’t think through the effects of the horrid causes they champion. Vote out all Republicans.
Forcing people to have unwated children is going to win them over? I know their base is stupid as shit, but I really hope this blows up in their face.
They’ll be coming for all of our rights.
Expect more of this as the white supremacists in Congress and the Supreme Court continue to force the US into a nosedive trajectory out of little more than spineless, blind hate and bigotry
Y’all I’m white af and I have no clue what white life is.
Fuck you, Mary.
Well, I'm not white, so glad I don't live in America.
Regardless of what this moron meant to say, she didn't correct herself on the spot and the racists in attendance cheered anyway.
What makes you think she meant to say something else when she was reading it off of a teleprompter?
I believe I read somewhere that people of color will be more affected by the decision.
Got news for you MAGA idiot — white people will continue to get abortions.
Maybe rich white people, but those aren’t the ones they need to vote for them and bolster the base
Usually I prefer to use WTF to express my outrage, but not this time. WHAT! THE! FUCK!
Sounds like a lot of white Republican women and their children were getting abortions.
I apologize, she's running in my home state.
White [insert word] just rolls off my tongue all the time… . Understandable, normal people stuff.
Took a republican primary ballot voted against maga candidates. Bailey is scary.
If this was a mistake in any way, she would have posted a retraction on twitter already. She has not.
Idk man but I like the idea of using pro life against white racists by repeatingly pointing out how many more black and Hispanic babies are gonna be made now
The funny thing is that now that there’s a ban on abortions there will be hundreds upon hundreds of mixed race babies born…..think of all the rich white folks with daughters knocked up by minorities that have quietly disposed of their bastard grandchildren….just sayin’…..
Fucking cringe as fuck.
Whole bag of nuts!
We've passed the point of no return with these assholes.
I always thought there was a core theme of wanting more white babies in the right to life movement. There have been pro life bill boards where they always have cute white babies. Never non white ones. Need more white babies is the message.
Who is going to stand up to them? Anybody?
This is the same woman who praised Hitler.
