The Once-upon-A-Time GOP

Republicans shit all over LGBTQ, and women, and POC, and they refuse to do anything about gun violence, and now in Tennessee they're making it very clear they have no intention of honoring their oath to protect and defend.

Almost every American under about 30 has been taught to play fair and treat people with respect. They grew up with brown friends, and with gay friends - and the young women grew up believing they'd eventually step into an adult world where they'd be free to make their own decisions on when (or if) to become moms.

Kids who've survived mass shootings - sometimes at their own schools - are growing up knowing Republicans will never do anything about the gun violence that took the lives of some of their friends, and made them live in fear every day. It's reasonable to believe a very large majority of those "kids" will never vote for a Republican. Ever.

It's very sad, and regrettable, and kinda gratifying, all at the same time.
