I love your optimism, but its rather misplaced. >The majority of anti-abortion people genuinely believe that a zygote is an innocent human life, and terminating it is literally murder. If that's what they believe, why *wouldn't* they do everything in their power to stop it? But they're NOT doing that. They're not promoting sex education, which drastically reduces teenage pregnancy and thus abortions. They're not working to increase financial and social security for mothers to ensure having a child isn't a massive risk. They're not doing to reduce sexual assault of women leading to unwanted pregnancy. They're not doing everything in their power, not even remotely close. They're literally just doing one single thing, and that's the thing that hurts women the most, in the most ways and empowers terrible men the most. So, given that they're actually not trying very hard, and doing things that benefit themselves, one has to wonder if that's truly a surprising of highly specific incompetence, or intentional.

I started feeling a bit this way when I saw that many Trump voters were genuinely confused and angry that Trump didn't release Epstein files lol

>people frequently do stupid bad things not because they are bad, but because they are stupid, I get that, right up until you start talking about MAGA. Those people didn't grow up being ignorant of MAGA's evils, and then were seduced by them. MAGA gave voice to the evil that was already brewing in them, so they enthusiastically joined in. Some people may do bad things out of ignorance, but MAGAs do bad things because it's fun for them. They may be ignorant, too, but that's no excuse, they don't get a pass because of it. Some people are just bad people, who have lost the benefit of the doubt.
