$5_000 for every american adult if the GOP wins! But wait, that doesn’t just mean you… black people, hispanics, and your annoying neighbour Nate are going to get the same amount of money. Worse yet: People who didn’t vote AND those who voted democrat get this money as well!!! This is free money, handed out equally and (nearly) unconditionally among US citizens. Do you know the proper term for this? IT’S SOCIALISM!!! You’re right, Donald Trump is enticing you to vote for him with COMMUNIST PROPAGANDA. You hate communism, don’t you? You don’t want lazy bastards to get money for doing nothing! The path forward is clear: If you hate black people, if you hate communism, and if you want America to REMAIN GREAT you must vote democrat or the communist devil will get you

    There’s a third option:

    ~ I think [am conditioned to believe] abortion-access is an abomination¹

    Jerry Falwell discovered the single-issue voter in the 1970s, and was able to whip them up into a voting bloc to secure Reagan’s victory in 1980.

    ¹ Except when I need an abortion, because there’s nuance I can see.

      I wouldn’t even say he discovered them, I’d say he created them. Abortion was not an issue in America. Not until people like Falwell and his ilk conditioned them to be single issue voters on it. Protestants didn’t care about abortion. Catholics did a bit, but Evangelical christians? Wasn’t on their radar really.

      I mean if it wasn’t so fucking evil it would be impressive. The way these people completely altered the culture of a Nation. It’s diabolical. It’s also astounding. Never for the common good though is it? Nope.
