This is exactly what Conservatives want.

ImplyingImplications,

Not all of them! Some literally have zero idea what they’re voting for and just follow party lines. John Oliver had a recent episode on abortion rights where he played a clip of an interview with a Republican from Idaho who admitted he didn’t even look at an extremely restrictive anti-abortion bill before voting in favour of it. Only after it passed did he meet with OB/GYNs who educated him of all the terrible implications of the law which has caused him to reconsider his position.

ShortBoweledClown,

Willful ignorance is malicious and should be treated as such. That chode doesn’t get to claim “I didn’t know!”

He knew. He voted any way.

And now he’s trying to weasel out of the backlash

“I didn’t know the extent of the rights I was stripping before I voted to strip rights away from people”

Yeah he doesn’t get a pass

He’s in a position of power, he could have literally asked professionals in relevant fields their opinions before voting on it but he didn’t
