    Ah yes, Christians and their political beliefs based on the teachings of Christ such as… checks article preventing men from playing in women’s sports and making it illegal for “illegals” to vote. Which (of course) it already is.

    Where does this obsession with “illegals” voting even come from? Have these people ever registered to vote or voted? You have to provide information and be on the voter rolls, it’s not like you can just walk in and vote.

      My sister in law is a Republican, but doesn’t like Trump, but also buys in to a lot of what he says (her entire personality is “pro-life”)

      Yesterday, she’s talking to my wife, who is one of those people that keeps her conversations on speaker when she’s in the house:

      SIL: did you guys ever vote early

      W: yep, last several elections

      SIL: I think I’m going to test them and vote on my mail-in, early, and in person on Tuesday

      Me: you will go to jail for that…

      They just gobble up whatever they hear in their echo chamber. Nevermind all the Republicans who have gone to jail for voter fraud

      Also SIL: well the people who died two years ago that vote won’t go to jail

      W: yes but the people that voted in their place did…

      I’m just so exhausted trying to understand remotely where they come from

      Yeah and remember the part from the sermon on the mount where Jesus talks about grabbing women by the pussy? And how when you’re the son of god they’ll let you do it.

      It’s a voter suppression tactic, because when turnout is low Republicans tend to win elections.
