The most powerful man in the House doesn't like divorce

Oh yeah? Well he can go fuck himself. It's none of his business what married couples decide. Fuck him and his fascist religion. Edit: spelling

If you're a woman and vote to put any Republican in power in this country, no matter how small or local, you must be insane.

He doesn't like divorce because he doesn't want to be single. His wife didn't even show up to his event.

I still run into men all the time that lament no fault divorce as being one of the worst things that ever happened in this country (along with Roe and women being able to have their own bank account/credit line, of course).

Einstein was wrong. Time travel has to be possible. I came here expecting ppl to pile onto the guy. Instead, I get debates about divorce like it was 1855!

You Americans are a wild bunch, I tell ya.

And to the people about to comment that I should not inject myself into debates into U.S. politics as foreigner: I'll stop that the moment this community gets renamed to USpolitics.

I didn't like divorce either until I understood why my parents got one.

This is very on brand for republicans. It is part of the overall plan to create Gilead (that SHOULD be an exaggeration but... if anything it is an understatement). The idea being that women are property.

1. Abortion is evil. Because if a guy knocks up a woman? Assuming he doesn't "deny deny deny" and his lawyer can't get him out of it, he is looking at a ridiculously small tax that he pays for a few months and then ignores for the rest of his life. A woman loses months (if not years) of her life to recovery and childcare and loses earning potential for her entire life. Which... makes her more beholden to her spouse.
2. Affirmative action is racist/sexit/whatever. Because, same as above, it makes it easier for Manly Men to refuse to promote or hire women to keep them barefoot and pregnant because they can't get a job.
3. Divorce is wrong: So even if your property gets uppety and thinks she can find a way to survive without you? Sorry, not legal, go cook dinner and then I'll put another baby in you.

And plenty of others. The goal is to make women property that can't escape or ever say no.

And the idea of a man wanting to leave a woman? Just kill the bitch and get a new wife. Or fuck your daughter.

Why is it anytime one of these republicans opens their mouth I know they’re going to say something infuriatingly regressive, backwards, and going to try to fuck someone over with their view?

The great thing about democracy is that you can have a personal opinion about a particular issue, and still defend the rights of people to act in opposition to your opinion, because those actions do not infringe on the rights of anyone else.

Unfortunately (yes, I am about to say it again), the House is controlled by the American Fascist Party.

America is fascinating. Just a giant church of hypocrisy with a tonne of guns

Just fucking end marriage. It's fucking archaic. When two people become partners they enter a business partnership . That's it. It should be treated as such.

Yeah he’s a giant piece of shit. He better hope he doesn’t end up on https://gayhomophobe.com after getting caught with a rent boy. The louder someone hates and complains, the more they have to hide.

the united states sucks ass

Who cares what he thinks? He can go pound sand.

The latest episode of the Know Your Enemy podcast had some interesting words about why the republican party can't govern or correct itself in the final ~10 minutes of the episode. I didn't get to finish because of life stuff, so I rewound to re-listen later today (awake with insomnia rn, not ready to digest).

Sorry for this empty post where I didn't convey their ideas. It was something about campaign finance and how McCain / Feingold created a channel for the worst (like Gaetz) to act like shitheads.
