I might get tossed from the Gulch, but I've got two questions
I know I’m potentially setting myself up to get blown out of the Gulch, but I’ve got two questions I have to get off my chest. If this post costs me my Gulch membership, so be it. These questions are not—I repeat, NOT—directed at any one person. But I am putting them out because I want to hear what others think. I simply have no answer to either of them.
And with these two questions, I grab both third rails: Abortion, and the T part of the letter group.
My first question: If you are a practitioner of any modern Christian religion, it’s likely that your faith believes that life begins at conception. In this position, how in the Hell can you vote for a Democrat? Yes, this is a huge generality, and I know there are exceptions, but as a group, Democrats pretty much support abortion, in some cases damn near up until the time of birth. How can you possibly vote for a candidate who will do his/her best to enact laws not only allowing abortion, but actually encouraging it, and thereby violating one of the basics of your faith?
My second question: If you’re female, how in the hell can you vote for candidates who want to, quite literally, take away the things you’ve worked so hard to obtain? Again, yes, it’s a generality, but as a whole, Democrats are doing everything they can to erase all of the benefits you’ve rightfully finally obtained with Title IX by allowing biological males to compete against—and more often than not, defeat—biological females. How many scholarships, Olympic opportunities, etc., and the resulting downstream opportunities, have been lost because of this Democrat-driven trans-mania we are being forced to endure? How can you vote for someone who, for all practical purposes, won’t even acknowledge your existence?
I’m sorry, but I honestly do not understand how a Christian person or a woman could possibly vote Democrat, since so damn many of their policies run counter to your beliefs, your tenets, even your biology.
Fire away, Gulchers.

Democrats would lose without the FEMALE vote.
In fact, across the board, Men are far more conservative, and women are far more liberal (until they get married and have something to protect).
Let that guide PART of your answer.
Next, Rights vs. Freedoms.
I may not have a RIGHT to do something, but I often have the Freedom to do it. (Pissing behind a building, in a city, out of desperation).
The T thing is just mental illness, and needs to go back to being viewed/treated that way. Sorry. If you feel that strongly you are in the wrong body. Then it is far more likely your FEELINGS are WRONG than your body is wrong. (Even given a lack of Testosterone bathing your "male" brain could be the root of your extra feminine tendencies).
I am sorry you see the Democrats as the problem.
Fix your glasses. The DEEP STATE is the problem, and whatever they want, they get, with VETO PROOF bills when they need it.
The color of the Jersey doesn't matter to the Deep State. They are in control.
They will keep dividing us... Because if we EVER UNITE against the Deep State. And we start CHARGING/EXECUTING them. (NIFO as FFA would say).
Then we would wrest control from them.
They would RATHER SEE WWIII with a Nuclear Holocaust than lose that power.
Keeping your assets as long as possible is normal.
Competence is also becoming rare in many parts of our society that now awards jobs with no weight toward merit, experience, or intellect.
Have you noticed that "private" shipping has become as slow or slower than government shipping, and often with as little concern for customer satisfaction?
Service in the US is declining rapidly and is approaching Banana republic status almost as rapidly as government.
Hell no, no hell.
To see how completely disconnected from reality these folks are, there's a conservative gay drag queen (that alone makes you think) who goes by the name "Lady MAGA" who's been confronting the crowd of "Queers for Palestine" and asking them about their support for an organization that would kill them. None of the ones he questioned had a clue that being anything but straight in Islam is a death sentence, but it gets worse. Not one he questioned even knew that Israel wasn't an Islamic state, but Jewish, and all were astonished to learn that Israel recognizes Gay Pride month.
I agree, I do not understand how a thinking Christian can vote Democrat.
My question, however, is how have we allowed the governing machine to posit only two choices for political leadership on our ballots? Don't you think that maybejust maybe* they all work together to maintain their livelihoods? Perhaps there are entities at some level that steer and direct the population to two choices, both of whom can be steered "by hook or by crook" into decisions that benefit only the entities behind the whole affair?
I have voted Republican at times because I agreed with more of their stand than the Democrats, but I have yet to hear a platform that I can wholeheartedly stand behind.
The sheer fact that we can openly devalue human life through justifying and normalizing abortion is enough to demonstrate enmity between the Democratic party and
The God I know and serve.
Not very objectivist of me, but I am willing to risk being kicked out of clubs/town/church/the gulch for my views as well. It wouldn't be the first time. :)
I hold Biden personally responsible for every single Covid "vaccine" death. Why? Because ultimately, he mandated them for government workers. While my husband and I have not had severe repercussions (we took J&J and stopped while we were "ahead,") plenty of people did.
On to Title IX. I have ZERO interest in sports of any kind; yet this is really not a sports question. It's a question of people being what they are, and behaving like it.
IF NOTHING ELSE: A=A, and as far as I am concerned, that's the END of the trans conversation. Anyone who cannot comprehend that (I know WE all know what A=A means) is not fit to live in a civilized society, and they certainly should not be allowed to vote. This stance has cost me my relationship with my only daughter.
In further answer to your question, I can only say that it appears the Dim-wits I've talked to either cannot comprehend what has actually happened, or their political mentors have somehow successfully hid from them the repercussions of what they are doing. They actually think WE are the "dumb" ones.
