Say it with me, everybody:

If conservatives become convinced that they can not win democratically, they will not abandon conservatism; they will reject democracy.

-David Frum-

- This is so true. They’ve struggled to win democratically for some time now, hence all the gerrymandering and electoral/judicial shenanigans. Coming from someone like David Frum makes it all the more powerful. (This is the axis of evil guy, remember.)

  I finally ran up on David Frum (I was a young, ignorant, “politics are boring and dumb” kind of guy back in the Bush II years), and it’s really something seeing him attack the hard/alt right as a “moderate” conservative (I think moderate is actually accurate here). Then again, he’s also a founder of No Labels, who is eying a Joe Manchin run.
  
  Which, I guess makes sense. But still, I hate it. 🤷🏽‍♂️

How many pro-life protestors have adopted or fostered kids? My family, which is decidedly pro-choice has adopted 9 kids, fostered 7 overall. The vast hypocrisy is enraging.

- I ask anti-choicers how many kids they've adopted all the time. And how many of those kids have special needs. They usually just ignore the questions. Can't imagine why.

Thank god Missouri has the constitutional amendment process that requires a simple majority at a standard election vote. For now…
