So the dog finally caught the car. What happens now?

Does this infuriate our side enough that we see massive Democratic turnout in 2022?
Does this embolden the GOP to shoot for more outrageous SCOTUS opinions such as overturning the right to privacy, birth control, gay marriage, interracial marriage?

Remember where you were and how you feel right now and then decide how you will fight back.
They want an Christian Taliban Autocracy America that looks like the fictional Gilead in
The Handmaids Tale.
That’s no longer a joke or a scare tactic.
We now KNOW this as a fact.

Never thought I’d say that.

But the basic question now is: do we give up?

Or DON’T we?

“Our rage will do us no good if we don’t follow it with action.”

Just heard that from a guest on Lawrence O’’Donnell’s show. And I’m taking it to heart.

many believed it to be a legitimate news network.
But today marks their BIGGEST victory.
We must show that it’s only a brief battle win and not the war.
70-80% of Americans believe in choice especially in cases of rape, incest, and life of mother.
So, we fight as hard as we can, despite all of the voting rights obstacles they’ve created.
Vote or completely lose our country to these crazies.

we are in a war. Yes, in the end we will win but the question we are facing is how low will they go and the answer is lower than we think. This is a war....

outlaw abortion everywhere, not just in their own states. And rubes/assholes will keep voting Repuke, and most people will continue not voting at all because "both parties are the same" or "I don't like either of the candidates."
