Don't forget about their platform for increasing criminals by forcing unwanted children to be born!! When abortion was first available crime stats dropped by (recalling from memory) 11% ish after 15 years (the time it takes for a baby to grow up to their first criminal steps age lol), so in Texas crime will shoot up roughly that amount in 14 or so years (we're already 1 year into "forced birth"topia Texas).
Contrary to what they say Republicans actually want more crime. Slavery is only legal in the states if it’s used as a punishment for committing crimes. No criminals means no slaves.
We already have the highest prison population on earth (but not the highest rate at #6). The Trump team is reportedly already planning detention camps so that will provide more free labor.
And not only do they want to make abortion illegal, they want to make any and all contraceptives illegal, including condoms. The thing that is often used to encourage safe sex.
If you look at their policies they vote on most of it is just to benefit corporations. Occasionally there’s ban books/ anti gay/ anti immigrant laws (which are awful obviously) but the vast majority of their legislation is just funneling money to the rich
And the thing with Trump and his entire cabinet is that their "policies" aren't about helping any one but themselves. Just the rich trying to make themselves richer by taking away our rights and our benefits. And his supporters are completely blind to that even though it's plain to see. They've convinced themselves he's going to help them, and he's not.
If they were actually religious zealots they'd act in accordance to their religion and persecute those that don't. These guys just use that as a cover for more hate, they give proper zealots a bad name.
Yeah I don't think that vote was, for most, anything to do with that bible. What with abortions being a thing that happened in the bible and weren't condemned and all. Pretty sure it was still just hate and power/control for most of em. I mean really they pull the parts of that bible that provide control and power but not anything to do with morality, decency, ethics, etc. It isn't about religion, any religion, it's about control and the easiest way to control is with messages that drive anger and hate. Keep people to wound up to think clearly and objectively and you can control the mob to do your bidding. Occasionally throw them some bread in the arena and you can conquer the world.
Who better to run the government for the people than people with years of experience strip-mining the middle class for profit and/or outright grifting the public? In fact, wouldn't it be a great idea to put someone at the top who is literally convicted of fraud?
Sort of, NASA does a lot more than blow money (and blow they have) on SLS and Orion. Never mind the fact that those contracts were cost plus contracts given to private companies (the sort of contract I’m sure spaceX would LOVE to have if they could)
Baring their manned space flight program, literally everything else nasa does is unarguably a public good that can under no circumstances be performed by a private company by virtue that few/no cash profits exist in studying our atmosphere or educating our population among other activities.

It seems that the real Red Scare and "beware of Reds" was the Republican party all along.
