    Correct me if I’m wrong

    1. Missouri, Montana, Nevada, and Arizona voted for abortion rights on state level.
    2. More than half of Florida voted for same but couldn’t reach the threshold required to overturn the abortion ban.
    3. Nebraska voted for marijuana legalization.

    All of these states also overwhelmingly voted for Trump whose administration has power to ban both of these things on federal level.

    These people want progressive policies but will follow that ‘R’ straight to hell.

      Gonna be hilarious when suddenly state’s rights gets hit with the “no…not like that” 180 back into let the federal government decide.

        Silver lining could be, they’ll just do a lot of infighting and bickering and do not get stuff done properly. There’s a very slim chance that the U.S. Democracy can withstand that again.

      The explanation is that those people are selfish. Plain and simple. They want to be able to have abortions and smoke pot themselves, but they don’t want any “others” to receive anything. Republicanism can be explained so easily as “Fuck you, I’ve got mine!”.
