Going to extremes
Extremism is the norm for today’s GOP A lot of really terrible shit in the news these days, so how about I start with a joke: A guy walks into a bar, the bartender says, “What can I get ya?” Guy says, “The 1965 Supreme court case Griswold v.
Connecticut was wrongly decided.” Bartender says, “The case that ruled that people have a right to use contraception?” Guy, “That’s the one!” Bartender, “What are you, some kind of radicalized extremist?” Guy, “Yes, and I’m one of three radicalized extremists running for the Republican nomination for attorney general in Michigan.” Look, I never said it was going to be a FUNNY joke.
And I wish I could just write off these three Republicans who ALL believe that there is no legal right to contraception as jokes, but it’s actually deadly serious.
Saying “I told you so” doesn’t feel great in this instance, but I have been saying for years, decades actually, that the religious right agenda was never going to stop with LGBTQ people.
