“The legislature acted promptly to change what was an old law to ensure access to I[VF] —,” he tries to say, only for Collins to interject and ask him, “Why did they have to act if it wasn’t in peril, senator?”

“Because of the Supreme Court decision,” Cotton responds, referring to Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, the case that overturned Roe.

Very “States rights to do what?” energy. Love to see it.

“THE WORLD IS LAUGHING AT US AS FOOLS…”

My favorite part is when he gets something so insanely wrong that it spins full circle and he gets it right anyway, just for completely the wrong reason.

The theory isn’t the statistic. The statistic is true. The theory is that there is a concentrated effort to replace white culture, values and people. In reality, white people have just been well off long enough that our culture has shifted away from having a ton of children.

Plus, the entire premise is predicated on the idea that having fewer white people, relative to other ethnic groups, is a bad thing. It’s not, but the people who give this theory the time of day are racist, so they see it as a problem. It is not.

No, but telling someone they shouldn’t be allowed to vote is saying you believe they should be disenfranchised.

This is not a “both sides are the same” argument. Only that if you start to discuss who should and should not be allowed to vote, you are no longer creating a democracy. That is a dictatorship with extra steps.

He should vote, because everyone should vote.

Fuck Ben Shapiro, he’s some combination of idiot and willing stooge, but voting only works when everyone gets to vote. Unlike these right-wing fuckwits, I’m not willing to disenfranchise voters just because I perceive them as being less intelligent than me.

EDIT: I am shocked that supporting a fair and equal democracy seems to be at least sort of controversial around here. If you genuinely believe a given category of people should be disallowed from voting, please reconsider your values.
