Republicans are not politically winning

gas lighting shit stains

SCOTUS is supposed to be free of political pressures - lifetime appointments and not being voted on are perfect examples of this in play

We are upset with the leak because it was just another example of the left shitting over things that had a purpose.

With respect, it seems like the Republicans ARE politically winning.

That is what this decision is all about.

The 2022 elections will be interesting.

The elections are so close these days, and this decision just shifted 5% into the Democratic column, so they are not winning politically.

And they are really not winning culturally. Same sex marriage is still the law of the land. Racism is being moved away from. Abortion is a rare legal victory for Republicans, that will lead to political losses, because culturally America is just not where Republicans are.

This isn't a high school popularity contest.

A draft opinion leaked from the Supreme Court has indicated that a majority of the justices were in favor of overturning the constitutional right to abortion.

Ya esta. Stop whining, get over it.

As I said - it's a radical, right-wing SCOTUS now, that doesn't serve the interests of the majority of Americans.

That WILL be a popularity contest on election day, btw.

You seem to be misinformed so severely that your opinions on the topics you list are similar to those that Joe Biden is parroting from his handlers.

I am not really a representative Republican, but I can tell you that your impression of Republicans is wrong. Republicans are not racist or homophobic any more than Democrats.

The Republicans and the Democrats are only the3 opposite sides of the same coin. However, it's the same coin.

That you have been deceived by the propagandists hoping to deceive the weak minded should be a warning for you.

If it is something popular, Republicans are not shy about taking credit. So we should look to see if Republicans are taking credit for overturning Roe v Wade. Nope, they are in an absolute panic to seem uninvolved.

Worse yet, they are demanding whoever leaked the draft opinion to be punished for leaking it before Republicans could soften it to try to keep some political advantage.

This is a good time to remind everyone that the Republican Party of the anti-abortion party, and now it matters. They were willing to call themselves the anti-abortion party, when it did not matter. They should do it now too.
