return2ozmaBreaking: U.S. Supreme Court to consider whether to revisit marriage equality
MyOpinionGosh it is almost like these MAGAts are just doing whatever the hell they want. I have a few things we can do when we get back in power.
floofloofwhen
An optimist!
Not really. This thing isn’t going to outlive Trump, and he’s very old and not in good health.
cheers_queersTrump is a symptom, not the cause. Im not as optimistic as you
venusaurThey might just punt it to the states like they’ve been doing. Welcome back to the 90’s.
I won’t be surprised when inter-racial marriage and slavery are back on the docket.
Slavery never ended though. Hell, I’m pretty sure it’s not even illegal
It’s not. It’s in Alabama prison systems.
They’re starting with trans, working their way to gay. Trans was their gateway item, it helped get them elected. (They tried gay marriage during campaigning, it didn’t stick, there was too much public support). Even so, now that they’re in, they’re going there.
This is all per Project 2025. They’re not going to touch slavery, but the items with a religious, Heritage mandate will be torn apart.
They’re going to hit hard when they get to women, not just an erosion of legal status but bodily autonomy. Ownership, by men, in terms of loss of legal status in re to pregnancy. Remember, MAGA ran on a reaction to women’s lib.
They’ve already declared decreased fertility, the current 1.6 replacement rate, a matter of national security.
They’re just grabbing more power (and money) and beating the public down into a more complacent state before kicking 51% of the population in the head.
P25 dismantles HIPAA and ends death with dignity at the national level as well. The religious mandates are pretty awful. I do not have much hope that gay marriage will survive the Supreme Court.
CharlesDarwinRemember, MAGA ran on a reaction to women’s lib.
I consider “maga” to be mostly a nonsense word to give cover to the fact that the Republican Party is full of Republicans. They’ve hated women’s lib for wayyyy longer than they started using that nonsense baby-talk word. I don’t think there should be any distinction drawn between the teabaggers that rebranded themselves as “maga” and the Republican Party.
They are essentially the same thing, and have always stood for this kind of stuff, no matter the window dressing they used to put on it before. Their code words like “family values” were not fooling anyone…
Slavery never went away. It’s alive and well in the Alabama prison system. They are building more prisons there, too. That way, all the blacks pushed into poverty after no affirmative action can be exploited accordingly.
This world is so bad.
This is my 0% surprised face
Yep, this was the logical follow-up to Dobbs.
Thanks, non-voters.
ZachariahYes, but have you considered this?
both sides
Yes, but have you considered this?
One side.
You’re in a mono-party system.
Figure it out.
DarkFutureYou’re in a mono-party system.
Lol. Because things are exactly the same when Democrats are in control as when Republicans are.
Looks at the news. Looks out window at armed, masked men patrolling the streets for brown people. Sees the flagrant Constitutional violations. The unbelievably blatant corruption coming from within the White House. The increased racism. Uptick in hate crimes.
Yep, that’s actually complete horseshit.
NOT. THE. SAME.
hark“The good cop and the bad cop aren’t 100% the same!”
TʜᴇʀᴀᴘʏGⒶʀʏ⁽ᵗʰᵉʸ‘ᵗʰᵉᵐ⁾You have only your shit party to blame
Cool. Murc’s Law, I guess.
It’s on the Project 2025 list. As such, I expect it to fall, like Roe.
Heritage is clearly funding this erasure of what We The People want.
What can we do? Surely we outnumbered these people
Just so you know. If you did anything. They will use drone strikes and the conservative media will cover for them. Plus the bot armies on social media will be deployed. Think like the original running man. To stop this admin if it comes to it. We’d have to knock out comms for all the drone operation bases. And I doubt anyone can pull that off.
vaultdweller013Oh yes because doing indiscriminate drone strikes was so effective in Iraq and Afghanistan. Drone strikes are precision strikes meaning they are generally better for taking out a core group of high value targets, but they’d be right fucking useless on a large scale function. There’s a reason that the Navy more or less shutdown the drone program in WW2 that being that when the best way to deal with an enemy is to just to throw as much explosives as possible at a problem high capacity bombers are better, this general rule of thumb still reigns. You cant occupy and pacify an area with just drones because sooner or later folks will figure out counter measures, you can’t really do that as easily when an army is bearing down on you.
Not to say drone strikes can’t be effective when used in conjunction with traditional warfare, but we’ll look at the war in Ukraine the Ruskies and Ukrainians keep figuring out new ways to jam each other’s drones. It would probably only take a week at more for basic countermeasures to occur in the US, it could literally be shining a spotlight at the drone to fuck with it’s camera depending on the model and the lights output.
Find out where the heritage foundation meets, and have a crowd gather outside. Lock the doors. Burn the building. Let no one out.
That’s how we get change.
K st in DC. They have the name engraved in concrete on the building
Downtown Huntsville, Alabama, close to the square. Washington Street, I think. I think that might actually be an important site.
Do you mean that when the concurrence for the overturning of Roe v Wade said that they should also have another look at marriage equality, that meant that this was on the roadmap? Huh. Who could have possibly seen this coming?
I’m sure they’ll get around to resurrecting anti-miscegenation laws if their speed run is any indication…
Also, many, many people were trying to warn others about this. The right is too glued to Bullshit Mountain outlets to know anything at all. Of course they are just a lost cause. The “centrists” were actually saying things like “but isn’t Project 2025 just a liberal conspiracy theory?” without bothering to spend two minutes to even look.
And of course, a lot of self-styled super-edgy leftists were often lecturing people like myself about why voting for Democrats just furthers the “uniparty”. That was when they took a break from getting on their high horse about some minor point about terms, labels, phrases, pronouns and checking for “intersectional” points as to whether anyone was worth listening to in their silly Oppression Olympics game. Goddess help you and you better check your privilege if you were to try to inform them on anything if you scored lower on the intersectionality…sigh. And that’s not even getting into the Gaza Single Issue Voters, fuck. Heaven forbid they should use some of this energy to go out and vote, and not a stupid protest vote, either.
So, as you point out - so very many people did see this coming, and a lot of other people felt quite comfortable in ignoring that set of people… 🙄
So predictable. The angry assholes hated losing that ruling, as well as losing the culture war around it. That’s why they didn’t really give up, but switched to harping on bathroom bills and “men in women’s sports”. The wedge was trans and they were going to hammer on that until they got enough Confederates in office to, yeah, attack trans, but also go after gays, even if, or even especially because of, the culture being against them for it. They hope to deport, imprison, threaten and smash down enough people to reverse that culture war, too, believe that.
They won’t be happy until they turn on streaming services or their television or go to the movies and won’t have to see any gays, unless it is for comic effect or the like. They definitely don’t want to see anything normalized…
This might not be reversed in the near future - maybe. But the weirdoes on the right will treat this just like they did abortion. They won’t give up, even if it takes them 50 years to take the rights of others away.
I just have no idea why gays voted for Taco. Or any Confederates for that matter. It just makes no sense at all. I know some gays IRL who have voted for Taco. Twice. But I guess there was actually a group called “Jews for Hitler”, too, until the Nazis shut it down…
Once again, 'both sides’ers.
This is what they were ranting about doing all along. You allowed this to happen.
Hard disagree. Decades of status quo policies as conditions constantly worsened inevitably led to this making it pretty easy to see how the Democrats allowed this to happen.
Why would democrats do this to us???
All the people that didn’t vote are partly responsible for this.
At some point we need to tell the “internet people who tell us who to blame” that hillary would have won in 2016 if not for the electoral college. At some point people just give up and that was the entire democratic party in 2024.
Not a single person in the democrats has a plan to fix democracy in the US and until they do the gerrymandering, electoral college and republican rule by minority will continue
Cool story, would still have been nice to avoid the transgender genocide or killing health insurance.
I’m sure all the finger pointing at neighbors will help, instead of, you know, taking 5 minutes to understand how we got here and why its going to continue.
65 million don’t vote. “But Trump” is not a legit platform to run on. You have to give voters something to vote for. Dems fucked up
Eugene V. Debs' GhostNoo! The democrats were entitled to your vote! Vote blue no matter who they wanna deport and remove!
Donald Trump is the president you fucking moron. Happy to vote for Biden in 2020 but not Harris, essentially just a younger Biden.
Two options. You’re phony or you’re stupid.
I voted for Harris in California. I didn’t like it and it didn’t impact much, but I did. She still lost because she didn’t make herself different enough from Biden, who had low polling rates, plus courted Republicans who got us into this mess.
Democratic VOTERS fucked up, the party did not. So many pathetic excuses for such a stupid decision in November.
The party didn’t even hold a primary and said you have to vote for who we tell you to vote for. “Ugh fine, what is she running on?” … “Nothing! Do you want Trump to win?”
Amazing how they refuse to blame the people with more data, money, and people instead of the people who are in states that didn’t matter (solid blue or solid red).
That’s why I voted for Biden and it was much better than this. I never liked him. Still don’t.
At some point people just give up
Why? They won in 2020…
Did you all fucking forget or something?
Keep waiting for perfection, dumbass. Meanwhile, Republicans are destroying the country.
You’re so right, support for genocide was just a minor mark against perfection. Keep compromising, soon you’ll be agreeing that democrats shouldn’t fight for marriage equality because some other issue is on the table and we shouldn’t let perfect be the enemy of slightly better than rabid nazis.
The U.S. should revisit if we need a supreme court anymore.
Yet another freedom that Yankees are happily throwing away lmao god it’s like watching an entire nation commit self harm hahah
SpaceCowboyYeah the Yankees are always focusing on the big name superstars, and not putting enough effort into the fundamentals. They make too many errors, and they have unsuccessful results. It’s all about the money with them, there’s no real heart to them, and that’s why they lose.
Wait, we’re talking about baseball, right?
