@TonyStark “A 2022 survey from KFF, formerly known as the Kaiser Family Foundation, found more than three-quarters of women of reproductive age were in favor of making birth control pills available without a prescription. The leading reason for supporting the switch from prescription to over-counter was convenience, according to the survey.”

All of this more than 3/4 should be voting for Democrats.

@AlliFlowers @uspolitics I find his ignorant, misinformed, and bigoted musings make him the perfect spokesperson for today's GQP.

Still waiting for more guns to make us safer. #GunFAIL

_____________________________

Anyone insisting that you “calm down” about climate change is living in denial about the catastrophes at our doorstep.

When you express alarm about how rapidly the climate is warming, the “calm down” crowd will correct you with the most remedial facts. They believe that for you to be so bothered when they are not, there must be a fundamental misunderstanding on your part.

“You do know the global warming temperature is taken from a multiyear average, not single extreme heat events, right?” they will say, like a bemused uncle gently letting the kids know that elephants don’t actually talk like they do in storybooks.

But be careful. Because by mentioning any of this you are committing the greatest sin there is for the “calm down” crowd: stating the obvious.

So adverse is this group to stating the obvious that after a while, “the obvious” or the “semi-obvious” pretty much never gets stated at all.

The oil industry and their attendant financial institutions’ almost preposterous hold on the government and its elected officials?

An economic system that has nurses paying a higher functional tax rate than billionaires?

A world climate plan that after hundreds of forums, treaties, and “net-zero pledges,” still saw emissions reach their highest levels ever this past year?

All of it risks not only upsetting the “calm down” guy’s well-developed delicate late-twentieth-century aesthetic taste, but worst of all, it might just get “the people” riled up or in the worst of all possible outcomes, actually demanding change and accountability.
