putting on my WTF hat, have they ever externally rationalized precisely the civic governance they're performing? I truly mean that... have they tried to explain these as policies or platform?

Not tucked away in the study is conflating clean energy with wokeness, and of course defunding it.

Sadly many gop voters will shoot themselves in the foot just to stick it to “the other guy.” What a sad, miserable way to live.

What's their deal with IVF? Everything else makes sense because it hurts People of color the most. IVF is already crazy expensive, even with insurance, and I imagine it hurts mostly upper class white people?

What's more relevant to most peoples lives? The border. Or eliminating the EPA? Does coverage of our politics reflect this priority?

Know what helps kids pay attention in school and be productive members of society? You know, since that’s all they care about, not the moral argument for free lunches. Children who aren’t hungry! Also yeah, let’s go back to workers constantly being maimed and dying and poisoned air and water!

So they ban abortion for child protection and cancel school lunch, what is proved to be the only source of a fully main dish for some children… yes, makes so much sense… not at all

This may sound like hyperbole but it isnt . Defunding OSHA will cost lives . I once had a long conversation with an OSHA inspector his statement to me was "do not underestimate how many safety regulations are written in blood"
