- Fewer gun laws make the country safer
- Lower taxes for the rich causes more job creation
- Building walls solves our immigration problem (like prohibition solved our alcoholism problem)
- Less access to healthcare makes us healthier
- Removing access to contraception causes less sex, therefore less pregnancies and less abortions
- Pro-life to save lives of the unborn and anti-life by starting wars and getting our young adults killed
- Upholding religious freedom for one arbitrary group (Christians) by suppressing religious freedom of other groups (Muslims)
- Not allowing gays to marry protects family values
- Giving energy companies free reign and rights to drill, dig and strip protects our environment – or rather – our environment does not need protection, the market does this automatically
- Closing abortion clinics results in less unwanted pregnancies and therefore less abortions
- Renewable energy is too expensive and does not work, so we’ll continue to use fossil fuels until they run out and – then what?
- Being pro-life and pro-gun seems consistent to them
In a nutshell. The list could go on and on, once you recognize their blinding illogic behind their “thinking”.
I just can’t understand how that kind of brain works without making its owner insane.
I wonder about that all the time. How can a highly successful person, degrees in M.D, law, etc, who made it to senator or governor in a state, say stuff like this and reconcile it internally? It just baffles me.
