2. Wait, what? Our rights are 'divisive'?

This has nothing to do with the 1% - the vast majority of GOP voters are members of the 99% and they very much believe they have the moral high ground. That's why they vote for politicians who want to restrict our rights.

They're not trying to take away our rights because it's a 'divisive' tactic - they're trying to take away our rights because to them we're second class citizens and don't deserve the same human rights they enjoy. They support Republicans who want to ban marriage equality, same sex couple adoption, abortion etc because they don't think we're entitled to those rights.

This isn't about the 1% vs the 99%, this is about a religious war against women and lgbt people being waged by millions of conservative Christian voters and their leaders.

Those religious voters are voting their 'conscience' and I refuse to accept any other framing of it. They don't get a pass because some think they're being played by the 1%.
