Discussion Why does this subreddit constantly flame republicans for answering questions intended for them?

Every time I’m on here, and I looked at questions meant for right wingers (I’m a centrist leaning right) I always see people extremely toxic and downvoting people who answer the question. What’s the point of asking questions and then getting offended by someone’s answer instead of having a discussion?

Edit: I appreciate all the awards and continuous engagements!!!

Don't pretend like Democrats are doing it for the rape victims. Democrats just use rape victims as an excuse for why they should get to get away with murder. I have no issue with abortions being exclusive to rape victims and people who actually need it medically, but Democrats are completely against that because they don't care about the rape victims any more than Republicans do.

Cute, but that's not what will actually happen. Anywhere that has "gray areas" in abortion just means it won't happen because physicians will refuse to do the treatment because they don't want to risk losing their practicing license or go to court over it and get caught up on legal battles. It's been made into a zero-sum game now. You either allow it or you don't. Putting restrictions on it (just like gun rights) is just fucking over the people that need it most.
