druidity33's JournalWe need a National Referendum on Abortion.
I'd like to know how much the will of the people will be subverted by this conservative SC! I would think close to 70% of this country favors Abortion rights... maybe more. Other than the vote for President, why don't we ever have referenda? Is there a "state's rights" law against it or something?
Concise psycho social analysis...
poached from a dKos thread:
"Embarrassment, guilt, and shame, assume normal emotional responses and normal moral frameworks.
Trump’s inner circle is a narcissist/sociopath symbiosis: a powerful narcissist (Trump) surrounded by sociopaths (Miller, Manafort, Stone, etc.). They feed off each others pathologies.
McMoscow isn’t a narcissist or sociopath as far as I can observe, he’s just “merely” the pinnacle and paradigm of corruption.
Sociopaths and corrupt actors have this in common:
They have no morals.
The GOP has become the locus and epicenter of moral nihilism in America, and the “normalization” of moral nihilism.
This is actually deeply troubling to a lot of people on the Republican side of the fence, but they “go along to get along,” just as the proverbial “good Germans” did in the early Nazi era, until it was too late to get out.
If we start making serious noise about moral values, we could reach a lot of those voters and further energize a lot of our own voters."

I would argue that we need to "make serious noise" about the current ABROGATION of moral values... or DISDAIN of them even. We've already been making noise about their hypocritical morals.
