The GOP is too extreme
It would be shorter to list the items they're not too extreme on.
I'll let you know when I think of one...
Currently: support for Ukraine.
Though they’re slowly pivoting to their natural position of bending over for authoritarian dictators.
They're extremely against supporting Ukraine
Don't forget human rights.
The right played the long game so well to end Roe and then immediately blew it by validating every terrifying prediction pro-choice folks had made about what would happen without it. Three generations of voters now view reproduction rights as a core issue for the first time because of these jackasses. I hope it burns them for many elections to come.
The dog finally caught the car and didn’t know what the fuck to do with it.
the dog hit the side of the car and is currently underneath the car, how much it gets banged up underneath is to be seen. could end up roadkill but could miraculously come out mostly fine, hopefully not.
Nonsense. If there's one thing we've learned from Republicans about Republicans, it's that there's no such thing as being Republican enough.
they don’t give a shit about the people this will affect; they’re just abusing a wedge issue to win elections. it’s all about manipulation and power.
they’re just abusing a wedge issue to win elections
Which isn't working anymore, hence the pivot from Hannity. We have only hope for the good of the country and the world they lose a lot more in the future
With the overturning of Roe it is now a wedge issue against them.
Has he been water boarded yet?
Ya think, Sean? Ya think?
Of course they would double down, it’s the Republican way. These are sad pathetic people.
Don't give this dude any clicks. Downvote this post. Literally ignore this loser.
Downvote this post.
No. You upvote to acknowledge OP's effort, not because you agree with the content of the article.
You comment to express your opinion.
No. That's what you do. Everyone else is free to use their up/down votes as they choose.
And that person is still telling everyone to do the opposite of what you suggest. So go tell them this exact thing too.
What? No.
You vote based on the quality of the submission. This is a content aggregation service, the goal is to ensure good quality content rises and bad is hidden.
Considering this article from a left wing site that regularly calls out his bullshit, I think it's fine
Who, OP or Hannity?
Hannity. He's as much of a right wing propagandist as Tucker Carlson
I don't think it is wrong for people seeing that they were in the wrong: so long as they are taking the steps to acknowledge they were part of that problem.
Though, in reality, Hannity just sees the monster they just woke up. These results will be a pretty good indication of what the presidential election will be like.
57% of a state is a severe disadvantage at the best of times, when you don't have a candidate with 2 indictments against him for election fraud and 1 for rape.

I would agree, but that's not what's happening here.
The problem with Hannity, with Carlson and with so many other conservative pundits, is that while they wave the American flag and claim to pledge allegiance to it, their actions see them put American Conservatism over America itself. And they do this consistently.
Hannity is addressing a smaller, much more localised symptom to avoid addressing the real problem: that American Conservatism isn't reflecting the will of the people and subjugates more people to unnecessary suffering than it helps, by a long shot.
American Conservatism needs a complete fucking overhaul, not some piecemeal we-need-to-lighten-up speech.
