I would expect the same group of women that did the deed in Kansas also understand that the Republicans are responsible for hugely offensive stop abortion extremists. I also suspect that they will wait for them to come up for re-election at which time they will take them all out. These women are not screwing around! The female race seems to be in another period of giving a damn about the female condition. Hope they can get it done before they go back to sleep.
The religious thing is also pretty interesting. The Catholics are not the only ones in trouble over missing sheep. Same with the non-Catholics as well. In my small town there are at least 5 abandoned non-catholic churches either for sale or sold for other purposes. The Catholic church has been blessed with a priest from Africa but he will go away and they will be back to no priest time. Same thing in Europe where the big basilicas are now owned by the town, for turisting, because there are not enough faithful to support them. What we seem to have left, in America, are seriously extremist white Christians.
Interesting times.............

via Kansas City StarKansas reaffirmed its landslide vote to uphold abortion rights after election officials on Sunday finished a recount that never had any chance of changing the outcome but was sought by an election denier and anti-abortion activist advancing baseless allegations of fraud. But the recount of such a lopsided vote, rather than building credibility in the results, risks undermining trust in elections because the process provided fringe, diehard amendment supporters an opportunity to attempt to create an aura of uncertainty surrounding the vote when, in fact, none ever existed. ... The Aug. 2 election was — and is — a landslide victory for abortion rights supporters. Kansas was the first state to vote on abortion rights after the U.S. Supreme Court in June overturned Roe v. Wade. President Joe Biden and national Democrats quickly seized on the outcome as evidence that voters broadly support abortion rights and will vote on the issue... ... The election also produced extraordinary turnout for a primary election. About 48% of registered voters cast a ballot. Far-right activists spent roughly $120,000 confirming the abortion ban lost in a landslide which only contributed to the leeriness that Rwing voters already have with election results thanks to the lies of the GOP.

Those right-wing voters should just refuse to participate in future elections, since they believe they are rigged against them.

That was sarcasm, but there is a lot of truth behind it: They can't win elections on the issues, so now they need tricks to cling to power. But their tricks are going to fail more and more because of democracy and changing demographics. So I guess a lot of them have decided to give up on democracy, and opt for a different system in which they can continue running things for their advantage.

Interesting times............. In the 1970's Leon Russell bought an old Methodist church on the corner of 3rd and Trenton in Tulsa which had been in operation since it was first built in 1915. He sold it in the 1990's to Steve Ripley of "The Tractors" and Steve ran it till his untimely death in 2012. A local entrepreneur bought it four years ago and reopened it again as Leon Russell's Church Studio this year only fully modernized and yet still faithful to Leon's memories. Today she announced that she had bought THE OTHER TWO churches on each corner around from Leon's studio. So now she owns THREE former churches all in a two block area and she said two more a few blocks away are empty. And this is in TULSA OKIE-HOMA...yeah...Oklahoma in the Deep South, where there's more churches than Carter's Liver Pills. I'd say that's a rather shocking development especially in "the buckle of the Bible Belt", wouldn't you? Church Studio restoration page gallery

Between "Putin Love Fest", stolen election lies, January 6th coup attempt, Roe, and stealing top secret docs, I think the GOP has figured out how to lose the mid-terms. Kansas and Alaska elections are strong indicators.

When it's put to a vote, and Americans get to vote directly on the issue, it appears that in each and every case, Americans tell Republicans to pound sand.
It's almost like Americans like controlling their bodies and don't want to have to beg Republicans for permission.
