There's just no way for us, the American people, to please the Republican Party, is there?

So you're a bad person if you don't have kids.
But you're also a bad person if you're not straight and adopt kids like how Amy said.
And you're a bad person if you do have kids but through IVF.
And you're a bad person if you do have kids but do it outside of being married.
And you're a bad person if you do have kids and have kids while being married but dare to say the $20k (at least) unthinkable-in-any-other-western-country medical bill is just a little crazy.

What do you guys even want?

Complete and total surrender to them.

Allow the minority to indefinitely rule over the majority.

Ain't gonna happen.

I was thinking about this today. They're against nearly everything, so what are they for? Many of them are NOT evangelical. Guns and money and hatred of The Other are what seems to universally unite them.
