So, will Matt Gaetz say that the only reason Republicans got their clock cleaned in Kansas last night is because a lot of ugly women vote there? Personal insults seem to be the only weapon the GOP has in its war against reproductive rights.
Despite the Republican Party's voter suppression efforts, despite their gerrymandering, and despite their confusing ballot language, the people of Kansas were able to figure out what "yes" meant, and what "no" meant, and refused by an overwhelming margin to strip out abortion protections from their state constitution.
There was nothing else on the ballot to drive Democrats to the polls. And with 50 percent turnout in what the GOP obviously had hoped would be a sleepy August primary, you're looking at voting levels that match the 2008 Presidential election. Which means a lot of Republicans were telling Samuel Alito, his fellow fascists on the Supreme Court, and their own party to take a hike.
Very fun to view the photos from a Kansas forced-birth watch party last night. (Note to Matt Gaetz: The guy on the right in the top picture looks like a thumb.) Cry more, kids! Your fellow Kansans — and voters across the country — want no part of your reproductive police state.
Oh, and by the way: This makes Alito's recent bad-taste speech in Italy look particularly bad. We cats PURR.
