Most people didn’t care when they came for trans people
“Doesn’t effect me”
Almost half of people didn’t care when they overturned Roe
“Doesn’t effect me”
Now they’re coming for birth control.
So where is the line? When will it finally effect enough people so they stand up?
@ritawho churches = lobbyists
Yes.
@flexghost The Democrats have to treat the Supreme Court as the clear threat it is and neutralise it, otherwise the Republicans will continue tearing through rights and liberties until their fascist hellscape is complete.
Ideally that will involve delivering retribution to the gallery of rogues masquerading as "justices", too...
With 8 billion people on a planet suffering through climate change, that's enough people.

It costs $330,000 to raise a child through college.
Religious zealots think they can impose their faith on others. They want a government to determine when women have kids.

Republican social policies are always policies of immiseration.

@Npars01 do they even conserve? What’s the point of “conservatives” or the GOP at this point? They haven’t had a platform in decades. All of their regressive tax and social policies have hurt america and caused debt and inequality.
Dumb people need to stop voting GOP.
Republican voters aren't all dumb
They are racists who are smart enough to know they don't want to be ones picking fruit in 40 degrees heat
They are religious bigots who are smart enough to side with oil kleptocrats as they buy corrupt Supreme Court justices to turn Americans into peons enriching the rich
They are misogynists who are smart enough to see the childless who escaped their fate of having their children used as pawns & hostages in a war on democracy by oil oligarchs
@Npars01 that’s the right take. Dumb excuses their evil

@flexghost
What you’re illustrating is the prospect of our personal rights and freedoms being subsumed by (Catholic) religious doctrine - beginning with abortion and continuing through the entire spectrum of sexual behavior, long codified & with eternal damnation attached for “sinners.” They’d include masturbation if they could figure a way to monitor.
The USA is a constitutional Republic - NOT a theocracy. We must fight this.
@flexghost My favorite take with Dobbs was always "Hey trans women, don't think this doesn't affect you too! They're coming for you next!"
It's like yes, we've been trying to say exactly that about all the things that have been happening to us that you've been pretending don't affect you. Or worse yet, you've been considering something that's for your benefit.
@finley anyone being marginalized or sexually assaulted (especially minors) should have had people in the streets protesting
But this is america
Should have been when they came for people highly vulnerable to covid.
@threeofus yes. Many people who wander the internet with a red pen let me know this
English is my fourth language and it’s basically garbage. Post stays unedited.
@flexghost @lednabm oh boy. Time for another “I told you so” for my parents. When Roe was overturned I told them birth control will be soon. They said it’ll never happen.
So fucking happy I got my tubes tied last month.
@flexghost @lednabm it seems to be about an inch at a time. It’s slow work, but I’m trying.
I think they’re clinging to the idealized America they remember growing up. I’m going to drag them out of it bit by bit, even if they’re screaming and clawing.
You’re doing great work, but you know that as soon as Fox gets a Tucker replacement, they will snap back harder than a rubber band
a war.
trump is signalling his base to murder obama, smith, their families. and the law lets him.
the GOP have infiltrated the law so much it is paralyzed.
the whole system is beyond recovery and needs a reset.
if the christo-fascists win then we have hitler with an army big enough to fight god and either the industrialists will kill the planet or the christians will start WW3 and embrace the rapture.
CIVIL WAR. END GAME
THIS
And the DOJ and feckless Merrick Garland allows stochastic terrorism, which signals to Republicans it can continue. And like a mob boss, Trump will get away with directing people to murder officials via vague language that’s… not vague.
When they raise taxes for the rich - less to trickle down. 😆
