In a speech before the House that seemed lifted right out of Margaret Atwood’s dystopian classic, Rep. Glenn Grothman said he wants the U.S. to go back to 1960.

    Jeez this is one quotable piece of shit:

    They’ve taken away the purpose of the man to be part of a family.

    Now that’s some serious entitlement if I’ve ever heard it. You should earn your place in the household, not be given it because the rest of your family would be on the street without you.

    Over the years, millions of children have had their dreams stolen before seeing the light of the day.

    Didn’t know kids deepest desires were to be abused, neglected, abandoned, or die horribly within moments of being born.

    I commend the six justices who voted to overturn Roe for having the courage to base their decision on sound legal principles

    Legal principles that don’t include the recognition of precedent.

    Alright so it’s not literally ripped from the book or show, just fits in perfectly. I wish the title was more clear on this because now the title is wrong.

    Also fuck that guy for his shitty opinion.

    Spoken like someone who doesn’t have any personality to offer his wife? Men have a purpose in the family besides providing money, relationships are more than just transactional sex for money agreements. Republicans are sad people

    Sadly, this is not an isolated opinion. Not just one fringe crazy that can be talked over and ignored. There are many more like him, that want to see things like these be reality again, and [insert Trump’s current polling numbers] percent of Americans that seem to agree at least in spirit or are somehow very, very unaware.

    I fear for the future.

      It’s not, but the situation has been leading towards a revolution for a longtime. Which is why unions were in place, and so many of the rich are building bunkers. We’re animals who want to believe we can prepare for anything, but reality is a cruel bitch.

      You can’t prepare for after shit hitting the fan this late into the game, the only true solution will always be avoiding it hitting altogether. But the ultra rich rolled the dice, so here we are heading to the next step.
