What’s happening here cheapens what’s happening here. I guarantee this guy will still vote Republican next election. Maybe not Trump specifically, but I guarantee he won’t be voting for a Democrat. This isn’t a news story, it’s the entirely predictable outcome. Republicans never care about something until it impacts them directly, but even when it does they don’t change their behavior.
Yeah they the Republican voter never see their obstacles as something to be resolved by policy or legislation. They just need an exception, everything works fine it’s just the situation they found themselves in that is regrettable.
Oh I read something interesting about that once. I think it came at it as big city vs urban modes of thought.
Someone who lives in a big city surrounded by many people realizes quickly you need robust systems. You just don’t have the time to handle every case as a unique circumstance. So you have laws and regulations to shift things earlier in the process when they’re easier to deal with (eg: fire codes before the building gets built, instead of no codes and a fire hazard)
The other mode doesn’t think like that. They can have simple laws on the books, and if there’s a problem they’ll just go talk it out with Brian the sheriff. Sure abortion is bad but you know little Suzie she just made a mistake, you can make an exception for her, right?
Obviously the “treat every case as special and rely on informal social connections” doesn’t scale or consistently deliver fair, just, outcomes. But according to some half remembered post I read, that’s how some right wing people view the world. You can have draconian laws, but the people enforcing them know when to apply them (against those assholes) and when not (for good folks who made a mistake)
NPC autoreply shit cheapens what’s happening here.

So, I guess, corruption.
Language changing before your eyes is cool. Darmok and Jalad at Tenagra.
