Days after Ohio voters passed Issue 1 and codified abortion rights into Ohio’s constitution, Republicans are not accepting the election results.
In a new, unhinged press release issued by the Ohio House Republican Committee, GOP members rant that “foreign billionaires” impacted the election results and call the results tainted by so-called “foreign interference.” It is unclear what they are referring to.
Ohio voters overwhelmingly voted ‘Yes’ on Issue 1 by a margin of 56.6% to 43.4%.
The press release further argues that the results of the election do not invalidate a 6-week abortion ban previously passed by the Ohio Legislature and that “no amendment can overturn the God given rights with which we were born.”
I’m sure some of their Republican voters will be thrilled to hear that…
Oh by the way, I thought the GOP were about state rights?
Not long ago I read the best explanation of conservative brain cancer ever. If you look at everything they say and do through this lens, it all actually makes sense. It’s insanity, but it does make sense internally.
“I get to tell you what to do; you do not get to tell me what to do.”
That’s it. That’s their insane logic. They can’t even elucidate it, but they all follow it.
Exactly. Republican legislators want to rule you, not represent you.
And religious fanaticism is the best vehicle to get that control
They are about their power and their control. Nothing else.
L’etat c’est moi.
They believe that they are the state, and that they should have absolute authority to rule over the residents without any federal government oversight.
Their stated ideals are ad-hoc justifications. All that has ever mattered is ingroup loyalty. They think that’s all you’re doing, because they think that’s all there is.
Please stop asking these kind of questions, even sarcastically.
