I’m genuinely scared when I see this perspective about ‘outside actors’ being responsible for the GOP’s penchant for fascism. It’s a way to rationalize (self-delude) that there isn’t actually a faction of Americans who have these values.

It’s not Russia, it’s not the CCP. The rise of Christofascism is homegrown.

You’ve been duped into believing the bullshit that Republican politics/‘values’ are actually meant to benefit “potential humans.” It would be amusing if it weren’t so tragic.

They don’t want people to have bodily autonomy. Women are the easy target for the GOP because there are already biases against women politically, socially, and culturally.

Reply to Genevieve Lhermitte: Belgian mother who killed her five children euthanised by Quirkie

It sounds morbid, but there is an excellent fictionalised film about this that, I suppose, attempts to speculate about the factors that might have driven the mother to this; there was basically a third and very controlling person in the marriage to whom the father seemed to be closer than to his actual wife. The film is called Our Children (2012).
