I would say ignore these horrible people, but since this seems to be the GOP plan to force this lifestyle on everyone, best to let people know what their future will be like.

My respect for Arkansas has gone up a notch, because I figured people who vote for Tom Cotton and Mike Huckabee would soil themselves at the prospect of voting for this douche

Alabama gave 48% of the vote to a man credibly accused of child molestation.

Arkansas: A bit better at not voting for child molesters and their enablers than Alabama.

Put it on the license plates.

A little tangential, I think a big part of courtship vs "dating" was backlash against the secular media line that teenagers need to treat their parents like enemies, which is dangerously bad advice for young males with actual social difficulties and mental health issues. For me, that led to looking at the honest alternatives, up to and including multigenerational living and "arranged marriage" (which, scheduled rant, was mostly "dating" without the parent bashing). In further hindsight, the secular side of the false dilemma choked itself in the last 20 years, in part because "kids" not moving out is becoming a frequent necessity.

The only thing I remember about these people is some “scandal” involving masturbation many years ago, and the only reason I remember that is because I made a mightily upfisted comment on the dear departed Gawker.

The "masturbation" scandal was Josh Duggar getting caught sexually assaulting some of his sisters and at least one other girl and Jim Bob covering it up, until someone tipped off In Touch magazine.

Jill wears pants now, and the Holt daughter is a fitness influencer, and Josh is still mad he didn't get the girl he wanted.

"treat their parents like enemies"

Could you elaborate on this? Because I have no idea what you mean, and I have 3 young adult grown children.

No, it was molestation related (other than the penis of the individual involved), it was some other thing that didn’t involve josh

That seems to be at least one line even Republicans won't cross. Electing Pedophiles and their enablers is an bridge too far even for the Sedition and Treason Party..

And yet Donald Trump was best friends with Jeffrey Epstein for close to 30 years, proving that Republicans will vote for a pedophile or and his enabler.

I'm honestly surprised it wasn't higher. I've finally managed to set expectations low enough for Alabama to exceed them.

When you want a paragon of honesty of Christian honesty and virtue look for a guy who owns a car stealership
