In the next 6 months, we're going to see one of the largest propaganda pushes in American history to spread the lie that Donald Trump is a moderate on abortion.

We saw the opening salvo today, with the idiotic NYT breaking news article about Trump’s belief in state’s rights. How convenient. Why they believe anything he says isn’t simply self-serving window dressing is beyond me. NYT goal 1: clicks. Goal 2: wutevah

The idea the Trump cares *at all* about abortion, or the women involved, is very plainly false and we know that because he’s made that clear. He will do whatever keeps him in power and right now that’s placating evangelical fascists. Everything else, isn’t just a lie, it’s an OLD lie already broken.

Its going to be interesting to see how liberals react to such obvious consent manufacturing. By this point you either see the MSM as in the bag for Trump or you're just not paying attention.

I think it's really worth paying attention to beyond the electoral implications. You will learn a lot about who actually wants Trump to win by looking for who is willing to repeat this lie, and will learn a lot about the techniques for how spreading that lie is achieved.

The lie is that Trump holds any stable policy position other than "Trump must win". He neither supports nor opposes abortion. He follows whoever he thinks will put him in power, not the other way around.

“There’s a smorgasbord of options” is a trite way of describing how you’ll use law to strip away the rights of self determination and bodily autonomy - not to mention the right to life in many cases - of HALF of our citizens. Fuck those fucking fuckers. Drive them back to irrelevance.

You'd think just playing back his words about "they rip the baby out of the womb!" for later term abortions would suffice. Like. Get a few of his soundbytes. Every time there's a push to lie for him, there you go. But then again we live in a post-truth world.

As well as the bad faith arguments about how "Democrats should have codified Roe" while completely ignoring the political situations of that time, the fact that Roe would still be here if it weren't for Republican actions, and our best hope going forward to protect abortion: Democrats.

Part of a bigger lie that Trump has any political positions whatsoever, a lie that absolutely no one believes, and that no one even needs to pretend to believe except for punditry-generating purposes.

“Leave it up to the states” is not a moderate position. Banning after 1st trimester with exceptions is not a moderate position. Roe as federal law is moderate. That was the compromise.

It is incumbent on every reporter to ask Trump every time they can if he will veto a national abortion plan to back up his "promise" to leave it to the states.

people are gonna say Dems need to fight back on this, and of course it's true that they had better do that (as they've done in state campaigns), but I'm not sure how, because it is no longer clear to me where average normies who aren't Fox News mainliners are even getting their news. do you know?

It's insane to pretend that "it's up to the states" is moderate in the first place. Even if it were true, he'd be allowing states to adopt christofascist and unpopular policies while he gets to wash his hands.
