    Republican America is just English speaking Russia.

    Russia decriminalized spousal abuse in the 2010s and it directley led to a wave of women losing their lives because the police didnt even bother showing up when their partners were beating the brakes off them.

    Legally, Russia changed domestic violence from a criminal offense (under Article 116 of the Criminal Code) into an administrative infraction with only fines or short detentions for “first-time, non-serious cases.”

    and if you can believe it, the champion of this “conservative, traditional values” policy, was a woman.
