Gay Louisiana doctor says he’s leaving the state over its ‘discriminatory’ legislation - Lemmy.world

Dr. Jake Kleinmahon, who is just one of three pediatric heart doctors with his specialty in Louisiana, said he feels like the state has targeted families like his.

That’s a direct result of losing the Supreme Court. It was the only mechanism keeping minorities and women safe in red states. Now that it’s gone, the apparatus of state power is going to grind them up if they don’t have the resources to get out.

Next time someone says “democrats and republicans are the same” or “Clinton would have been just as bad”, think of the SC and federal district judges she would have appointed. Think of how different things would be for people in Texas, Louisiana, Florida, Arkansas etc right now.

Then tell me again how your vote doesn’t matter.

This is part of the GOP strategy.

Senator Josh Hawley from Missouri has openly acknowledged that the GOP strategy is to make it so miserable for Democrats in red and purple states that they will move to blue states. That would, in turn, cement Republican power in the White House, Senate and thereby the Supreme Court.

"I think it'll probably redraw some demographic lines around the country, and will lead to impacts in voting patterns," Hawley told reporters Friday.
