Reince Priebus has just re-ASSerted that the war on women is fiction! Whew, what a relief!

(82,849 posts)A "war" is when both sides are fighting. If you ladies would just get with the program and stop all this resisting of your betters, there'd be no dispute at all! So it's really women who have declared a war on Republicans. See?

(82,849 posts)I know we're both just goofing on this, but it will not surprise me in the least to see some Republican knucklehead put this argument forward in the coming days, weeks or months.

And all involved will blink their eyes in bewilderment as decent people call them out on their fatuousness.

(2,940 posts)This is the kind of thing that makes me think of the Rovian "conservatives-create-their-own-reality" vs "liberals-use-facts-to-discern-reality" thing.
Repubs: "There is no war on women, because I said so, and that makes it a fact. I create reality, dammit!"
Dems: "Facts (denial of contraception & abortion, slut-shaming, not extending VAW act, etc.) indicate there is a war on women."

It's not as if there have been too few examples of their various perversions over the past two decades. Arm a few of the C St. neighbors with surveillance cameras, and document the parade of hookers, rent boys and circus animals going in and out of that house.
