Remember the Republicans won't pass gun legislation banning weapons like the AR-15. Currently, gun violence is the leading cause of children's deaths. These Republicans are heinous people who don't want to feed hungry children, don't want to fund public education, and are perfectly fine with small children being gunned down in their classrooms and other places. What kind of wicked people are these??!!

Jenn, Very pious and religious ones. Just ask them and their millions of evangelical followers. I am an evangelical Christian, and my People have been brainwashed over the last fifty years that abortion is evil in all circumstances, the R’s are on their side in that, and thus nothing else matters. Everything you said is 100% true, and I agree with you 100%; however, there are literally

Millions of one issue voters. There really are……….It drives me insane, and is so shallow and stupid, and WRONG, and yes wicked.

The coalition of the fat cats of the world, fatter then ever before in our history, plus now that such fat cats control media not just industry, the repulsive wing of racists and creeps, PLUS the “Christians” is such a powerful group that a vile, perverted, evil and corrupt person like Trump can actually be elected. Our country is a mess right now. Plus, social media is a cancer. There is no shared reality anymore. Walter Cronkite and the local daily paper are not coming back. I am still fearful about the future even if we get rid of the poison that is Trump.

I agree with Gandhi, who said, "I like your Christ. I do not like your Christians; they are nothing like your Christ."

Thomas Frank addressed and identified this issue in his 2004 book, "What's the Matter with Kansas?"

Yes, and some of those same kids are the product of rape or incest and yet, once they are born, they're mommy's problem to figure out.

Thank you for putting this truth as baldly as it deserves. I continue to wonder what Republicans’ morals are. Every time I see an ad on TV asking for contributions to feed starving AMERICAN CHILDREN, I wonder. Having never voted for a Republican since Eisenhower, I watch them with increasing disgust. History gives some clues about their meanness, but not enough.

Morals? they don't have morals, they have hate. ["The Anger Games: who Voted for Donald Trump in the 2016 Election, and Why?" Feb. 2018. Google it.
