(80,699 posts)Glad you're here! I WISH we had mass use of magical spells (also known as the use of words to manipulate people). We don't. We have the best ideas but the shittiest ways of pushing them, describing them, meme-ing them, FRAMING them. The bad guys have shitty ideas but they are MASTERFUL at communicating. They can make any steaming pile of Ebola-infected shit sound like a bouquet of flowers, long enough to fool enough voters, and also KEEP them fooled into thinking that sweet fragrant bowl of comfort-porridge they've been serving over the term of office - is just another steaming pile of Ebola-infected shit.
I'm STILL stunned by the CONS who had the nerve to state that their abusive, intrusive anti-woman agenda that includes forcible insertion of hard plastic dildo-shaped rods into the vagina or mandatory ultra-sounds (sounds like state-mandated RAPE to me, frankly) - is "HELPING women."
HELPING WOMEN??????????????
