Yet another example of their weird obsession with the female reproductive system.

It's not really weird if you look at it like their brains quit developing at 8 years old. Their entire platform is basically 'vaginas are gross, school is dumb, I want a bigger allowance, and stranger danger'

Fun fact: conservative brains have larger amygdalas, leading to greater response and sensitivities to fear and disgust.

They also have smaller Anterior Cingulate Cortexes which relate to... Pattern recognition and pattern dissonance lol.

So if you know conservatives with a strong fear and disgust response while also being literally incapable of seeing their own hypocrisy / cognitive dissonance... This is why.

Republicans love developing 8 year old brains.

So much that they will travel overseas and pay to have sex with it.

It seems many of them got beat up in school and never got laid.

Could've been quite the charming yaoi redemption arc, though. Aw, so sad they missed out. 🤷🏼‍♂️

They are the stranger danger.
