The post in which we again wonder whether the extremists -- the entire GOP, I mean -- will overreach and collapse -- that is, enough voters getting a clue, motivated to vote and voting, vote them out of power -- before it's too late. I know, put like that the answer's probably a hard no. Maybe?
Me, I have no idea. My own answer fluctuates based on my mood.
Don’t single women know they will die alone and miserable without settling for any man who will have them and bearing several of his children? Everyone knows Real Americans are always white, Christian, and married, after all. I don’t think any bogus conservative argument in support of forced-birth makes me belly-laugh harder than their plaintive complaints about single women having the temerity to vote, and vote Democratic:
[Me, wearing an “I Voted” sticker, kicking last night’s hook-up out of the house, washing down a handful of Zoloft with vodka as I open cans of Fancy Feast for my 27 cats]: “And there’s not a fucking thing you can do to stop us, Incel. Cry harder.”

I'm in Ohio. I've heard a bit about this.
Every 17 goddamn minutes.
There's a commercial playing on the Roku app channels EVERY 17 GODDAMN MINUTES that features Governor Mike DeWhine and his wife, Fran.
They say that everywhere they go everyone asks them about Issue One. They took time and carefully studied the issue and here's what they found. Issue One does not prohibit post-birth abortions. This means that liberals can murder their babies up to and past the moment of their birth. Now we might argue that Issue One also doesn't prohibit eating babies with fava beans and a nice chianti, shoving firecrackers up baby butts to make exciting July 4th decorations or throwing babies underneath your spinning tires to provide traction when you're stuck in the snow. All the more reason to vote against it say Republicans.
The DeWhines look horrible. The corruption is writ large on their faces. I get the feeling advertising is cheap on those Roku stations. I get a sense Republicans know they're fucked on this deal. They're just going through the motions. Churning the ad buys to keep the consultants happy.
The best part is Issue 2 piggybacking to hopeful victory on issue 1. Legal weed. Just like God had in the Garden of Eden. Weed is proof that God loves us and She wants us to be happy. This is so obvious. I'm surprised churches aren't behind legal weed.
Here’s hoping Ohio sane people pull it off. The ads write themselves as in Kentucky’s governor’s race, so maybe Dems can take over the Federal government, or what’s left of it, in 2024. What they’ll do if they catch that car, who can say? Packing the Court, dumping the 60 vote Senate rule for starters, I hope. Meanwhile, the NYT and WaPo have decided that single women voters won’t save Biden because now young leftists and Muslim Americans hate him for embracing Israel. No doubt they’ll be turning out for Trump or RFKj or Cornel West (the NYT crossword included West as an answer so he’s bound to win).
Dear Mr. Deace: Have you considered that there may be reasons why single women vote in droves against Republicans every year? Sincerely, A Single Woman
Single women vote against Republicans because they’re ugly bitter man-hating cat-smelling hags, not for any legitimate policy disagreement. Don’t they understand we love them?
This single woman screams at abortion protesters every Saturday morning at Planned Parenthood, followed on Sundays by picketing the churches that we're able to ferret out their membership at, just to give them a taste of their own medicine. Also, just like the feminist-haters say we all do, I weigh 300 pounds and live alone with several cats instead of the children I never had. The good thing about being a 300 pound single woman is that I can vote in droves all by myself ;)
Interesting. I hope you are right. I live in a rural country in SE Ohio and that county went just the opposite as the rest of the state on the super majority amendment, so I do hope that I'm not getting a good feel for what is actually going on in this election. We all do what we can I guess.
And now for something sort of different. The Smithsonian Magazine has an interesting article on the Federal Theater Project, concentrating on the play "It Can't Happen Here" made from Sinclair Lewis' novel. An interesting and in the end sad read.
I know it's colloquial, but I don't think these people are lunatics, but rather they're otherwise-good people who believe bad things (embryonic and early-foetal personhood, the 'traditional' female rôle as happy destiny) and are especially dangerous thereby and bad people who know the cultural Ley Lines to power.
Steve Deace. That nasty, fat little fuck. He's from Des Moines. WHO, our longtime right-wing mega/maga radio station put him on the air bookending Rush Limbaugh's show way back when. At least Rushbo is dead.

Great column- Thanks!

The very public transition of the GOP from anti-Democrat to anti-democracy is complete.

How can someone who sincerely believes in Original Sin truly believe in democracy?
…at least when their theology lets them believe that the Holy Spirit would help the Church or the Elect to do a better job?
