Do Republicans understand that they're committing suicide? You really have to wonder, because the stars have certainly aligned against them, no eclipse reference intended.
Yesterday, Benedict Donald officially declared (we guess) that the right to abortion should be left up to the states. Today, in one state — Arizona — the Supreme Court said that an 1864 law banning abortion should stand. 1864! Abraham Lincoln was President, and Arizona wouldn't even become a state until almost 50 years later. Could the timing this week get any worse for Trump and the GOP? Do they realize it?
We cats think that the far-right evangelicals and women-haters, with their anti-choice blinders on, are too fanatical to care. But other Republicans must know — the problem for them is, they can't do anything about it. They're like the first-class male passengers on the Titanic, barred from the lifeboats, knowing the fate that awaits them, but powerless to prevent it.
Our only question right now is whether any of the GOP candidates who lose this November — and there will be many of them — will, during their concession speeches, have the balls to blame Dobbs and their party's heedless rush into anti-choice oblivion for their defeats. It'll be interesting to see. Meanwhile, we cats HISS at the Arizona Supreme Court for endangering women's lives, but PURR at the prospect of the Grand Canyon state going into the Biden column in November and Ruben Gallego romping to victory over Kari Lake.
