In reply to the discussion: Why Democrats Have a Problem with Young Voters [View all]Aerows
(39,961 posts)And I'm not going to worry about young people when it's clear that the Republican party has a problem connecting with voters that don't have 13th century views.
We'll deal with it as it shakes out in the election. I'm not inclined to panic since my 80 year old parents think Republicans have gone off the rails. They show up every election and are conservative. These are Mississippi Republicans for heaven's sake.
When my Dad and my Mom think Republicans have gone off the rails, I assure you, they have. Even my sister who is the staunchest Republican in the universe is starting to think more deeply. That's because of my mother educating her that reducing women's reproductive rights is dangerous, but my sister was always rather short-sighted and is enamored with the Baptist church that is the whackiest available. She can't have kids and has to take birth control because becoming pregnant will kill her.
But, of course, that makes her a slut. She was a virgin at marriage, but she's a slut since that's what all women are that have ever had sexual intercourse to the right. I'm waiting for a Republican to tell my Brother in Law to his face that he's married to a slut. He's 6'4" and, like all of us in our family, practices martial arts.
Yep, my sister is a slut, and I'm not a slut because I don't take birth control.
