Limber up there, Rhonda!

    Any of these fuckers realize the party is toast yet?

    endless loop of attack ads of 10 year old girls forced to carry to term their rapists baby with Donald Trump saying “I’m the guy who killed Roe vs. Wade” with the entire GOP laughing and clapping him on the back as it fades to black with the words THIS IS WHO THEY ARE across the screen

      Could you imagine if the Democratic party had the cajones to do that?

      That would hurt their chances to ‘reach across the aisle’.

        They already have done that bud.

        https://www.nytimes.com/2023/11/08/us/politics/abortion-ads-democrats-election.html

        Non-paywalled version

        In the days before Tuesday’s election, voters across Ohio heard a stark warning in an ad that blanketed the airwaves. “She could be your neighbor, or niece, your sister or daughter,” the ad said, “But if she is raped and gets pregnant, a law in Ohio would force her to have the child.”

        In Kentucky, a young woman named Hadley spoke directly to voters in an ad from Gov. Andy Beshear’s campaign. “I was raped by my stepfather after years of sexual abuse,” she said. “I was 12. Anyone who believes there should be no exceptions for rape and incest could never understand what it’s like to stand in my shoes.”

        Deeply personal and explicit, the ads signaled a new tone in Democrats’ messaging on abortion rights, one that confronts head-on the consequences of strict anti-abortion laws.

        Maybe you need the cajones to open your eyes lol. Jokes aside and to your point, this shit is LATE AS FUCK. Better than never tho

          That doesn’t sound nearly as hard hitting to me personally. Doesn’t include the attack on the Republicans for making this happen.

            I just listened to the one featuring Hailey, and it is hard-hitting. It is her telling her story. It left the Kentucky Uncle Tom speechless, and he never recovered from it. They absolutely will do this in every state. It worked, and they have endless clips to use and, unfortunately, endless children being raped by Republicans.
