You can learn a lot about people by who they choose to attack.
For instance, Republicans always go after minorities.
ALWAYS.
Never powerful people. People able to strike back. People with deep enough pockets to defend themselves.
No. In fact they grovel before wealth.
Republicans much prefer attacking relatively powerless people.
Black people. Brown people. Young people. Gay people. Transgender people. Muslim people. Pick a minority and the Republicans will eventually attack it.
The only exception to this that I can think of is Jewish people.
Republicans don't generally attack Jewish people. (George Soros being a notable exception.) Mind you, this isn't because there isn't a rich strain of antisemitism running through The Big Tent. Always has been, always will be. No, it's just because there are enough wealthy Jews willing and able to hit back.
And when you punch back at a Republican, they generally run away with their tails between their legs.
They even attack women.
Of course this is because they're so fucking stupid that they think that women are a minority.
And just because most Republican women are content being breeding stock, they think that all women should be content being breeding stock.
So they were shocked, shocked by the backlash against the Supreme Court overturning Roe v Wade.
They finally got what they've dreamt about all these years, and quelle surprise, a large majority of Americans are pissed at them.
Good. Let them squirm and dissemble. Let them spew their States' Rights bullshit. Let them try to walk it back.
After years of making punching down a key part of their policy, they've picked a fight they cannot win.
