@persagen I love how the voting booths are set up so they can ‘see’ them voting. 👹

@persagen Regardless of country or party, fear of hunger and desperation are core to conservative ideology. Usually, though, they use terminology like 'incentive.'

  • Incentive to work
  • Incentive to accept substandard wages
  • Incentive to not take vacation or sick days
  • Incentive not to risk unionizing
  • Incentive to view others of the same class as competition
  • Incentive to accept mere existence as an economic tool for the rich as a living standard.

@persagen

Well, if this becomes laws then I will invoke the Roman right under English common law. This gives right to kill my daughter's rapist. It also gives me or my daughter the right to abort the child at any time. Even after the child is born.
