you're right. it's none of Republicans' business. Why should they meddle in people's lives and privacy? Are we looking into theirs? I think it's important to ask WHY they're so interested in everyone else's business because I don't think that's been answered. They want to control and dictate and harm and punish because they think they know better. Self-importance is part of it. Dominance is another.

Democrats need to attack and set Republicans back on their heels. Their motives are a violation of autonomy, privacy, and personal space. They don't know anything more than anyone else does, they just like to think they do.
