In reply to the discussion: Trump warns 'tough' supporters could turn things 'very bad' if provoked [View all]localroger

The old guard Republicans never wanted to really overturn Roe. But now that it's been done, a whole generation that didn't care so much about politics has realized it might be kind of important. And at the same time those single-issue abortion voters can stay home from the polls secure that they have done their duty and McConnell and his SC stooges have done theirs, and beyond that they don't care much about anything else. With so many parts of the country swinging on 48/52% margins this is going to move a lot of needles, nearly all of them in a blue direction. There are still a lot of challenges with the vote suppression, election sabotage, gerrymandering, and other dirty tricks but maybe we now have a chance.
