    They literally don’t care about skin color here. Not one iota. Murder is murder and this is that (to them).

      I grew up in Texas in a deep red county.

      In a country notorious for it’s systemic and institutionalized racism, you grew up in a section that votes predominantly for the party that is notoriously racist ( In general, not in comparison to any other party ) and would claim that race has no part in a decision that is known to have racial divides in applicability.

      That might be the greatest feat of mental gymnastics i’ve ever seen, truly.

      On the off-chance you genuinely mean what you say:

      That you and the people you know don’t care about race is laudable, but it doesn’t seem to be broadly applicable to the rest of the state or country ( and in the case of republicans their party )

        This shouldn’t be hard to believe.

        These are largely white people voting to stop their largely white neighbors from getting abortions.

        Are you under the impression their position toward abortion would be different if the entire state or country were 100% white? I assure you it would not be. And if that’s true, it cannot be based on race.

        What’s more is this argument that their position on abortion is informed by statistics is laughable. These are low information voters. You seriously think they even know the stats? Why in the world would anyone think that?
