@Osiris The idea is that a "holistic" approach to "women's health care" requires contraception. If a woman is not given birth control, she is not being given adequate "health care." People have forgotten that a normally functioning female reproductive system that gets pregnant is normal and healthy, and that the birth control pill is not treating any illness or preventing any disease. If a woman is not able to control her reproduction without restricting her sexual activity, then she is being "denied access to health care." The idea that the pill is something completely elective and not necessary, taken for a woman's convenience, has been forgotten. The pill is just what every woman does now as part of her "health care." Therefore, employer health plans being required to cover that seemed as logical as requiring them to cover broken arms.

@RealJoeDee The current theory from the left is that if only Trump had stood up in March and signed an executive order that closed all businesses except the ones he says are essential, closed the borders tighter than Melania's legs, and made all gatherings illegal, that would have been real leadership. I have some doubts about whether the left would have gone along with this and praised Trump as a hero and leader. I think they may have expressed some concerns.

@arakouzo The Dems are dumb.
Trump :takes action blocking travel from China: Dems: How could he do this?! That's racist, REEEEE! Everyone ignore ORANGE MAN BAD and keep going to large public gatherings like parades.
Trump :does NOT whip the nation into a panic when he learns more about the dangers of the virus: Dems: How could he do this?! We demand he take action and implement draconian restrictions even if they may not be necessary, effective, or legal! REEEEE!
@RealJoeDee I just find it hilarious that people can say, with a straight face, that if only Trump had exhibited "real leadership" earlier in the pandemic, life would be great. But apparently "real leadership" would have meant lockdowns, closing all businesses except the ones he likes, closed borders, and forbidding people from gathering or organizing against him. The exact tyranny they've always been afraid he'd perform on them. They are literally saying "If only he'd done that, it would have been real leadership."
So we have this strange situation where politically "liberal" people are now advocating for draconian governmental restrictions in their lives, because the greatest prong in their doctrine is to do the exact opposite of whatever Trump says, no matter what, because if Trump is every right about anything that risks his reelection.
Meanwhile, the kool-aid right wing backs the Trump guy no matter what because following him is their religion. Which is weird. Because conservative officials have been using the virus as an end-run to make abortion harder to get, the dating and casual sex scene has dried up considerably in most places and most sex is happening between married couples, and with businesses and schools closed a lot of women have had to scale back their hours or quit work entirely to do child care and now spend their time raising the kids and baking cookies, while families spend all day together...it's every conservative's wet dream for women. But they're fighting against it because Trump.

@redpillschool Today, the ends justify the means. Truth and accuracy come second to the desired outcome. We have always been at war with Eurasia and East Asia has always been our ally, and the chocolate ration was just raised yesterday. If you remember differently, you're a traitor, comrade.
@BloodWizardOfFlorida No. You should have sex with her instead of trying to bond with her. This is a Tinder date, not your next wife.
@total_sleazeball "A 21 year old can buy me drinks. Can you do something better?'" Continue to escalate.
@redpillschool It's a crazy reversal. A first group of people has the power to say whatever they want, light cars and buildings on fire, loot businesses, and harm law enforcement officers. A second group of people does not have the power to say certain things about the first group or to act against anybody in the first group even when faced with crime or violence and will be harshly punished if they say or do the wrong thing. Which group has the power again?
