That is not what I’m saying at all. As a currently non-practicing Catholic, I understand how important the abortion issue is for many. And I genuinely respect the sincere conviction of many hearts who feel compelled to vote based on that issue alone. On a personal note, if I could have genuinely believed that (e.g.) casting a vote for Donald Trump would have saved every unborn baby that has been aborted since the election, and that all children who would have otherwise been aborted would be loved for and taken care of, I would have done so. Even in the face of everything I despise about a Donald Trump presidency, I would have still voted for the man based on that single issue and outcome. Unfortunately, the notion that outcome was even remotely possible violated every part of my intellect that is logical, and therefore I voted according to what I believed to be pragmatic and most efficacious in producing the best result for the United States of America. To this day, I still do not regret any vote I cast against Donald Trump and the current GOP.
As far as single-issue voters who voted for Donald Trump from a sincerely convicted heart are concerned, I find no fault with them, even in disagreement. Furthermore, I do not believe because someone is a single-issue voter means they are incapable of critical thinking. My one and only point is that voting based on the status quo of supporting unborn children and traditional marriage is not critical thinking, as you suggested. It’s simply not (regardless of sincere conviction). The fact you threw out a lot of window dressing to obfuscate this point tells me you understand this also.
God bless you, swag. 😁
