Not only is that not a full stop, it's a complete detour in the wrong the direction. You are taking away the baby's freedom, a human being, if you kill it inside the womb, Full Stop.

Republicans are all about more control - not more "freedom". It's the freedom that they fear.

It's funny that the ONLY freedom our friends on the left seem to support is the freedom to murder other humans for convenience.

Thanks to Democrat overreach, the Republicans will probably gain majorities in congress in November. Then they will interpret their win as a mandate and overreach. Eventually there will be a backlash and the Democrats will be back in charge. Then they will overreach, and the cycle will repeat again.

That’s how it’s been for at least two decades.

Finally someone who gets it, this is exactly what is going to happen. I'm hoping DeSantis breaks the cycle by abolishing most of the Federal government (DOE, HUD, DHS, CIA, FBI, etc...) so that it won't matter who is in congress anymore because the Federal government won't have authoritarian power to wield over people anyone.

Return power to the states

I don’t advocate the abolition of the federal government. That’s pretty extreme.

Historically, the federal government was the only thing protecting certain groups of people from harm. There were no state laws to protect them.

I don't either, I advocate the slashing and reduction of it to the smallest possible level.

We need a referee, not a tyrant

So keep the FTC, SEC, FDA, etc agencies that need to apply rules and minimal regulation.

But others like the Department of Homeland Security is complete garbage. It's being used to spy on its own citizens and put political opponents on no fly lists. Separate out USCIS/border patrol back out and get rid of the rest, as an example

Agreed. Although the Democrats lean the way of tyranny.

Says the Fascist who wants to burn books and whip a minority (yes a minority) of Americans to hate their neighbors who might disagree with their politics while suspending the constitution so that their candidate can win when every court in the nation said he (they) didn't. Truth doesn't matter only what "side" you are on - apparently.



BTW - I have no idea what you are referring to (I guess I should watch more Fox and OAN so I am better "informed".
