>A Republican state representative in North Dakota has urged authorities in Ohio to “ignore the results” of Tuesday’s election, in which voters backed a motion entrenching the right to an abortion in the state constitution.
Republicans want to rule not govern
A member of the Party of Law and Order wants to burn the constitution of a state he has no say in because the people there don’t agree with his invisible sky daddy
I’m actually glad. Let Ohio and the rest of the country see these authoritarians have their anti democracy tantrum.
Go ahead and try to circumvent the people’s voice. Republicans in Ohio will be recalled and thrown out of office.
Republicans, you had your opportunity to advocate against the ballot measure prior to the election. You lost. Get over yourself.
>Writing on X, formerly Twitter, North Dakota State Representative Brandon Prichard argued Tuesday’s Issue 1 vote in Ohio should be ignored.
>He said: “Direct democracy should not exist. Case-in-point: Ohio legalizing the slaughter of babies.
Direct democracy.
Should not exist.
See, it’s not democracy that’s the problem – democracy’s good – it’s this poisonous *direct* democracy.
Santorum was also recently harping on this point.
This is the next phase in the Goebbelization of the GOP’s political discourse: Buzzwords and bafflegab about “democracy”.
See, we want democracy, just with a tweak or two; sort of an indirect democracy. We don’t want democracy dead, just pining for the fjords.
It always starts with a handful of people, then it festers. Soon, all the cool kids will be saying it.
Seditious degenerates.
Anyone who seriously advises people to ignore the the results of a legal, democratic election is fucking dangerous. Full stop.
The people have voted.
… because democracy is contrary to their neofascist agendas.
These idiots just hate democracy.
I vote that we abolish the GOP and arrest all of its acting leadership for insurrection, treason and for giving aid and comfort to avowed enemies of the United States of America.
Everyone who has paid attention lately knows they are going to come up with something to overlook the will of the people. It’s just embedded in the Republican philosophy at this point. The only result they care about are the ones where they get what they want.
Theocratic dictatorships is what they want. Ruling with their other oligarchs over us nobodies.
> A Republican state representative in North Dakota has urged authorities in Ohio to “ignore the results” of Tuesday’s election,
Ladies and gentlemen, the party of states’ rights.
I hope it ends in a spectacular devastating fashion for the politicians involved. At minimum career ending.
Today’s Republican party is fundamentally anti-democratic, anti-equality, anti-rule of law, and anti-American.
I was wondering how long this was going to take
Jan 6th coming to a town near you
It’s amazing to see Republicans fully embracing the idea that democracy is bad. It may have always been there bubbling under, but to fully go mask off with it is pretty wild. These people aren’t Americans, let alone patriotic ones, and unfortunately, there is no way to remove them other than voting.
One of his recent tweets is talking shit about obese people while the dude is a pudgy thumb in a suit.
“Our hearts are broken tonight not because we lost an election, but because Ohio families, women and children will bear the brunt of this vote.”
You won’t feel a thing. Promise.
Great, show the people of Ohio that the only way to get what they want is to get rid of Republicans. Sounds like a plan to me.
That is the takeaway they got from this? Ohio needs to end GOP gerrymandering and take their state back.
GOP Strategy: Lie, rig and steal elections. When you can’t, ignore them. They really don’t believe in democracy. He stated their truth. They are Christo-Fascists.
“Let the voters decide*.”
*Unless the voters pick something we disagree with.
Proving that the GOP is now admitting they want a totalitarian dictatorship based on theocratic principles. Vote blue.
Republicans: “we think abortion should be up to the states to decide! Not the government!! Repeal Roe!!!!”
It’s amazing what we as a population of actual decent people are willing to quietly tolerate from Republicans.
Please explain to me how this is not totalitarian behavior.
1. Have Election with question on an issue to vote on
2. Voters vote, and winner prevails
3. Elected officials urge other elected officials to just ignore the results
>A Republican state representative in North Dakota has urged authorities in Ohio to “ignore the results” of Tuesday’s election, in which voters backed a motion entrenching the right to an abortion in the state constitution.
How is this not grounds for removal from office?
How can you claim to love freedom and vote Republican?
Every single time I’ve EVER heard a Republican argue for “state’s rights”, it’s been in the service of stripping individual rights. This lays bare the hypocrisy of that position.
the betters have told us that we are too stupid to vote and they will now have to take over. FFS vote all these fuckers out. Your team lost, wasn’t rigged or stollen you lost cause your ideas suck and no one wants to go backwards. Fuck off.
Republicans: lets do a 6wk abortion ban!
Voters: hmmm no
Republicans: lets change the constitution so you need a super majority for changes!
Voters: hmmm no
Republicans: lets vote on who thinks there should be an abortion ban!
Voters: hmmm no
Republicans: fuck it lets just overturn the will of the people and do what we want
