    Yeah, and Roe v Wade was settled case law… Don’t believe a god damn word republicans say about abortion. They are dead-set on a federal ban.

        I believe it when Trump says he’ll be a dictator on day 1. Sometimes they are brutally transparent.

          …but he’s definitely lying when he implies that it would be ONLY on day 1. I don’t believe that for one second.

    …and so does almost everyone else.

    Sadly, a lot of Enlightened Centrists ™ and/or gaslighting “independents” and/or single issue so-called leftists (Gaza, anyone? Or some obscure academic intersectional hair-splitting over semantics about feminism/trans rights, etc.?) will be given cover that they “didn’t know”.

    I’m sure they’ll lay the blame for losing fundamental rights (or even worse - unleashing maga goon squads on normal Americans with actual fascists at the helm of the Executive Branch endorsing the pogroms) at the feet of the Democratic Party, if history is any indication…

      The scariest thing to me about the fascist decent of America is all the people applying for jobs on the MAGA goon squad. They don’t disappear if Trump does.

        Amen to that.

        Two other very disheartening aspects:

        1. The affirmation of just how corporate the “liberal media” truly is in the face of the obvious fascist threat - just as the left has been saying for maybe six or seven decades now? And yet, the prevailing notion of a “liberal media” continues. The corporate media would much rather have eyeballs and play the both sides game rather than call the repug party what they truly are.

        2. The deep cynicism of some very vocal parts of the left (that I hope are just a very performative minority, possibly even a foreign-led operation). Many over there keep insisting on the most cartoonish aspects of identity politics and the oppression olympics, even attacking allies that they deem are not sufficiently using their very particular framing and terms, etc. This is helping no one; it is just creating division on the left/liberal side, and in fact, it is most likely just creating more right wingers, really. This kind of view will often manifest itself as claiming that Bernie Sanders supporters are racists/misogynists or the like, or that wanting to focus on things like class consciousness and building alliances based on that is somehow racist/transphobic/sexist, etc…I mean, gawd forbid that the left tries to forge common ground with the male white working class instead of only constantly generating resentment and hostility over the differences between groups of people.

    This seems like such an obvious play to not lose too many woman voters. And then do whatever he/gop wants.

        Honestly, I think a lot of people just want a permission structure to (still) vote for him. Even the most flimsiest of veneers can be given to them so they can pretend they were innocent of any wrongdoing by voting for any of these monsters.

          Right. That also tracks. Only Democrats get consequences.

    Republicans want it to go to the states because they control slightly less than half of them outright; where they know their draconian per-historic religion can’t pass federal muster.

      Love that album, but I always wondered about the weird way they spliced that song together.

      ETA: A long time ago, I used pop this on when I knew my roomie was very, very baked and least suspecting it as a way to Rickroll him (pre Rickrolling) because I just knew the splice job simultaneously set his teeth on edge and make him laugh until his sides hurt.

    I had a rant earlier about these people being and serving pharisees. They do not follow Christ. No one with wealth does. They killed him for saying you can’t be rich and get into heaven. The rest of the shit was added by future pharisees to make being rich “okay” again.

    It is an endless cycle of the masses rising against the wealthy. Hold fast, lads. There is no eye or end to thus storm.
