i have a good friend though, she's so resistant to giving up the idea that there are good republicans, that SCOTUS is an august body where justice happens, etc. I don't think she is a rarity. She considers herself middle of the road politically, is fervently in favor of abortion rights, but she just can't quite bring herself to acknowledge that republicans have left the ship.

During the Kavanaugh hearing she defended fucking Susan Collins to me. I'm like you believe her? she's just a republican. Then when he was put on the supreme court the same day I said to her, say good-bye to Roe. She didn't believe it until it happened. We can still discuss things. But she remains resistant to the reality that the republican party needs to be ground into dust now. they are destroying our country.
