      I can only explain it quickly: there is no logic or critical thinking behind choices like these.

        It’s worse than that. The conservative mind abhors logic. It requires a level of narcissistic flexibility that permits any political opinion that benefits the conservative.

        Angry people vote. If you can make people angry by convincing them that your opponent wants to murder babies, that’s good for you because it makes stupid people angry. If you can also convince voters that your opoonents are friendly to murderers who should die, then that’s good for you because it makes stupid people angry.

        It’s always easier to convince stupid people that someone else is wrong than it is to convince anyone that you are right.

      It’s about control and punishment of women. Plus, churches are often as uncompromising *as the NRA: rape, vulnerable people, incest, etc; abortion is always bad and can’t be tolerated.

      How they’re able to justify killing criminals, I don’t know…
