Sadly, based on what I have seen of them at Trump rallies, there are a significant number of American women who are stupid enough to think that.

That was before roe vs wade was overturned.

It's going to be quite different now. All of those women got their faces eaten by the leopards. 2022 was supposed to be a red wave by all metrics and they only won the house because the idiot dems in New York screwed the pooch.

It's going to be quite different this election.

#VOTE!

Republicans constantly get their faces eaten yet still vote Republican. The largest user's of government services are overwhelming white yet they're the largest voting block of the group who cuts them, Republicans.

There's still going to be large groups of women who've never had an abortion or look at their abortion differently who are still going to vote Republican.

It's not going to be as different as you think.

That being said I agree go vote.

So what I'm being told here is that 8 percent of black women voters and 28 percent of Latina women voters do not think the leopards will eat their face.

"He doesn't lie a out everything!" They think.

Sadly the are wrong.

I mean, you have to be pretty fucking stupid to believe Trump would do anything that didn't actively make him money.

Doesn't matter, it's just a fig leaf for people that want to vote for trump but feel guilty about it.

Terrible headline.

Warren absolutely does buy that Trump would veto a ban. She just thinks that the justification (states rights) is complete bullshit.

Edit: I should not post at 5 in the morning. I got this completely backward.

[–] mosiacmango@lemm.ee 5 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (1 children)

No, she doesn't believe him at all. The headline is dead on.

The points she brings up in the article make it clear she thinks Trump and Vance are full of shot on the matter and just desperately back pedaling right now:

American women are not stupid, and we are not going to trust the futures of our daughters and granddaughters to two men who have openly bragged about blocking access to abortion for women all across this country." 

After Welker pointed out that it seemed Warren wasn't buying Trump and Vance's spin on this, she stomped down even harder, saying, “Don’t buy it? Just read it. JD Vance actually sent a letter last year to the Department of Justice to enforce the Comstock Act. And remember he did that, and then Donald Trump picked him to be his vice president. The only way that we’re going to protect access to abortion is to have a Democratic Congress send a bill to Kamala Harris. She will sign it into law, and then we will restore a right to half the population in this country, and no longer will a woman have to go into an emergency room and be told she’s not near enough death to get the medical treatment that she needs."

Yeah you're right. Too many negatives and I flipped one of them when thinking about this.
